I think you were right, just drove 500 miles and it did the frequent regen for the first 200 miles along with the p2495 code but I don’t think it ever did one in the last 300, I was hauling a good load and was doing 70 MPH so it never built up any soot. I was able to clear the code about mid...

ok, good to know. I’ve been a little gun shy about the boost pressure since it happened but I think you are saying she’ll be just fine hammering her! lol.

if you would have seen the hill I was climbing and the size of the load….you might think otherwise! lol

appreciate the reply!

I did just spot this, boot isn’t fully seated but just by a bit.

I think i’m seeing like 20-25psi although i’m trying to keep it down for fear of rupturing another boot.

I actually installed it myself in the Ram dealer parking lot. They couldn’t get the part right away and couldn’t get it installed for like 3 days. I sourced it from a Ram dealer in my state, drove there, and swapped it out. Did not use a torque wrench, but luckily did not break any clamps...

Now it is doing frequent regens….which just from a few reads on this forum has been a different problem for people. I’m thinking it’s possibly related to the boot replacement I did? Maybe recheck the clamps? I still have another 500 mile trip ahead of me, any potential issues I may run into?

thanks for the input!

Hi guys, have a 2019 Ram 3500 with the 6.7L HO and blew the driver side turbo boot right before the engine while climbing a steep grade with a load of lumber. It’s the bigger 3” diameter boot. I am not an engine guy at all, and a local guy told me it would be ok to limp into the nearest town...

it’s a 2019 with 47k miles. It is throwing a P242F code (senses an ash build-up which is impossible at 47K). A post earlier that I think is correct, is that soot buildup due to incomplete regen cycles has triggered a false interpretation of the sensors by the ECM which caused the P242F code.

it seems like the dealerships are ill-equipped to properly diagnose these issues and just swapping out the DPF is what they do because it works.

yes. yes I do. I have one that weighs 7000lbs and probably has about 8000 in logs sitting on it right now. I can also easily put my 13,000lb skid steer on my equipment trailer and haul that. The problem is, that won’t clear the code. From what i have been reading (and learning), the P242F...

so 2019 with 47K might still be under warranty

I agree with your theory. Would it stand to reason that by driving on the freeway for an hour at 75MPH or having it sit for 60 minutes at 2500RPM would effectively burn the soot out (passive regen), and once that has been accomplished use a scan tool to reset the P242F code and it should be...

can you elaborate on this 7/70 emissions warranty? I have seen both yes and no answers concerning the DPF yea, that’s what I want to do, clear the codes then run an active regen. They make it harder than it should be, gotta do the gateway bypass and have to remove the instrument panel to get...

dang, I don’t know why I missed this reply. Yes, I am thinking I could try resetting the codes, force it to do a regen, then “maybe” all should be good? Does it have to be moving to do an active regen or can the ECM initiate one while it is sitting?
