Worst feature ever created when you slowly, quietly, stealthily trying to sneak in to park your truck in the woods to go on a stalk for ELK, and the entire mountainside knows because you made the dreaded mistake with the key fob BLAST BLAST BLAST..."MAN is is in the woods"....!
Oh , right the manual selector on the steering wheel, no I hadn't messed with that intentionally..however I have found myself bumping that before and being locked in a gear, maybe a Longshot I hit it while dodging washboard...good point to consider.
I was running in 4 Hi, and thought maybe that held the the gear, I did back off several time tines and tried to accel to the point the revs were high enough to promote a shift but she stayed put...on the 200 mile highway run home tranny temp ran 170 to 190 as normal pulling mountain grades
Pulling our loaded toyhauler up a 7% grade dirt road at 9000ft in our 23 Laramie crew CTD 4x4 on a lot of washboard had to go slow, but when I tried to speed up the torque converter seemed to be locked up and stayed in 1st gear even past the RPMs it should have shifted ..slowed to a stop started...
ETA, the 90% mark on the Scsngauge is not relative to what the idiot gauge on the EVIC shows for Soot load, it may be 50%, its just the "number" the gauge will always be at or within a few digits and like clockwork AR starts...when its done with AR per the EVIC..and guage is down to Zero, My...
Nope, I always complete Active Regen cycles, very rare to stop one in mid burn, recall 2 times in 6700 miles, now I have been in AR in city driving stuck at long intersect and it shut off at idle, since then I always drop to neutral and keep Rs up over 1000 and it never shuts down..95% of Active...
After reading all the chatter about the Air filter, I pulled that now a 1400 miles since 1st oil change, or 6700miles, and it is.my 1st Cummins but my Ecodiesel Ram AF never looked oily -black, this is all new to me. But it may have helped the passive regen, since I did this just befor the the tow.
I agree, and runs around town at all and it loads up quick, it was 70% full a few days ago, I went for a 60 mile straight stretch desert highway run out and back on way home from work pushin 70 75, or.. uh.. more at times of clear safety and the soot level on my Scangauge only came down to 40%...
Took the truck to my service guy, he tossed it in a bay and they let it sit for 30 mins and had me go in the bay and talk to tech who showed me the stick, what they called as full or wet to the top..with the cross hatches and bumps its not super clear to me being used to a flat dip, but to them...
