Too much oil and poor dealer help

I’m counting my lucky stars that my 22 has not shown any signs of this issue yet at 60k miles, but god damn it’s got me plenty worried about it.

It’s amazing the problem can be so wide spread and there is nothing from the manufacturer to address it, despite it being mostly the 22’s.

They obviously have addressed something to mitigate it in other years.
 
I imagine a software flash will be in the works. CARB approval ( :rolleyes:) is probably taking a bit after the last 13-19 ram emission fiasco. I speculate the ultimate fix will be a SW flash as no hard parts have seemed to fix it completely.

It's been flashes once, but I am sure they have other programs to try. With the fuel dilution I had I wonder if motor internals are not 100%? I would imagine as picky as the system is 1 part would throw it off. Having the leak in regen obviously there is a leak in the system and could cause issues as well.

The DPF replacement seems to have my 22 functioning normally, but I suspect the DPF is a symptom rather than a cause. It took 18,000 miles for it fail the first time, and assuming the same conditions it will fail again sometime after the factory warranty period.

The OP has an exhaust leak somewhere that's letting exhaust get into the cab. There is no software flash available that will cure this unless its eliminating emission controls all together.

I never had the exhaust leak untill they started working on my truck.... they have done probably everything they think they know but no one listened to the customer. I would imagine having a leak in the exhaust system will not help regens. They might of Replaced a lot of the parts but seems to be half ass done. I will say if anyone ever has this many issues with the dealership Just contact the Attorney General.
 
My bad, for some reason I was thinking the smoke in the cab has been present all along. Yup, time to BURN IT DOWN!! :)
 
20 years ago or so there used to be a dealer out here that i guess consistently screwed over a dude to the point he painted his truck with all types of stuff saying LEMON MY TRUCK and DODGE DOESNT CARE and all other types of stuff and he would park right on the street in front of the dealer every day for hours. he was always there. felt bad for the dude but he was clearly at his limit.

Lmao I have thought about that! If it gets any worse I will make a video to paint my picture and push it on social media. There is a local guy that takes his truck to that dealer. He is have some issues as well and he told them he doesn't want his truck to end up like mine lmao. It definitely got the service managers full attention.

Ram reached out to me, said my case was escalated to the highest level of customer care. We will see how this goes.

Lmao I laughed pretty hard when I read the email signature. I emailed them back with all the outlining issues and how thing got worse and nothing is fixed. I would need a rental truck so I can continue to work. Nothing back yet. We will find out how well this plays out STAY TUNED!
