What are your thoughts on Genos? Appears their stuff is all OEM
Geno’s garage carries the OEM filters at great prices. You can also get better engine oil filters over the OEM for just slightly more money.
From Genos? Or can you point me in the right direction? I appreciate all the help.
The only upgraded oil filter Geno’s offers is the Fleetguard LF16035. That’s a better filter than the stock Mopar (which is actually a Fleetguard LF3972). The best three spin-on oil filter you can buy for these trucks are (in order of performance)
Just ordered the Donaldson oil filter, and Mopar fuel filters. I know I'll be changing the oil whenever I get the truck back from the dealer given how over full it is (and wreaks of diesel fuel), and knowing they won't change the oil under warranty even though the failed parts are covered.
Easier to have a sterling reputation when you eradicate any naysayers. I find it amusing. You’ll see their ads pop up repeatedly with 200+ comments, but when you actually click “all comments” there’s less than 20 visible….
BTW the info I read at that time came from there own web site, it was after reading that BS was why I refused to buy there filters or trust them in any way being I was sure that Fleetguard filers were indeed made with 3 micron nano net filtering media being they as I have been told invented it...
Funny enough, I spoke with them today.
Just curious what your issue is? If you read above you'll get a general picture of my issue (regen every 20 miles, and diesel in my oil. No CELs though). They've had my truck a month and are now just finally about to try to replace parts - starting with the MAF
Same.
Side note, I throws the regeneration frequency code so often, I can actually tell by the way the truck is acting that the code is going to be thrown before it does.
Holy smokes brother. I know the dealer my truck is at said it took them 5 months to resolve on another truck with similar problems to mine but were unwilling to share what it ultimately took to resolve the problem. I'm pretty sure at a minimum I need new injectors and possibly injector pump (I was told due to it's position that it can also leak into the crank case). However, that's speculation on my part, and given your experience plus many others I'm wondering if even that would solve my issue.
I don't see why they would be unwilling to share. It seems like everyone at these dealerships is working in silos, rather than keeping an open dialogue. Even the case managers at stellantis seem more inclined to push parts to close "cases", rather than follow a trucks history and solve the actual problem.
I just joined this group. I have a 2022 Ram 2500 with just about 10K miles on it. It has been to two different dealers now 6 times. All for regening every 50-100 miles. One dealership put a whole new exhast system in it from the engine to the tail pipe. Did not change a thing. I have been dealing with Ram Cares as well. They told me to take it to the dealer once again, which I did to prove a point and it still was not fixed. Ram Cares is saying that the tech at the dealership says my truck is OK. There is no problem with it going into Regen every 50 to 100 miles. We all know this is not OK. I have contacted the Better Business Bureau hoping they could shed some light on this problem. I want Dodge to either fix my truck or replace it. That does not seem to be on the table though. Anyone have any luck with Lemon Laws on issue such as this one?
I'm going on 5 weeks without my truck, but the regens are more extreme (every 20-25 miles). They're replacing the MAF today. You might check and see if your truck has a MAF made in Germany or China. The problem one seems to be German made. With that said, I'm not convinced it'll solve my issue. Also, have you had an oil analysis done? If not, you can get a siphon that runs down your oil check tube, and pump enough. Then send it to Blackstone for analysis. Anything above 5% fuel dilution is an issue, and is at least another arrow in your quiver.
