Too much oil and poor dealer help

Dinky503 said:
Picked up from dealership after a month. Ended up with a new DPF and 40miles after regen... still a slight vibration and knocking noise not full diagnosised. Nothing more the dealership can do until something breaks fully.

So is that picture 40 miles later after picking it up from the dealer it regened again or is that the second time in 40 miles plus vibration?

Little update on mine: took it to the dealership, they checked injectors, said the DPF was plugged and would give me $900 on the complete replacement job. The service writer went outside with me and told me to put the truck on a diet because they are having tons of issues with these trucks and even with the DPF replacement, it would fail again in a few months/years. So my truck has now been unburdened from what has been.......

Yep they are gushing loyal customers left and right now. Dealership is baffled and scared because they are the ones that will have to deal with the customers.

According to an attorney I have recently become acquainted with Stellantis is gushing cash over many of these trucks as well. Not a huge hit in and of itself, but losing that loyal customer base will be a huge hit. I am in a modest income bracket, but have purchased 7 new Rams and 3 new Jeep products over the past 25 years or so. It's highly unlikely I will ever do so again. And if there's hundreds or thousands like me then that will have a significant effect. Especially the fleet owners.

The current sales reflect that. I have a friend that is a sale manager for a Ford dealership. They had a 2023 limited 3500 come in on trade, he couldn't get above $40k on buy out offers on whole sale.

I was looking at the wagoneer for my wife and after my truck we traded her grand cherokee in for a Yukon denali. I have my gladiator still and will always have it but it's my play vehicle and all warranties have been voided anyways lol.
 
Ya my wife likes her new model Grand Cherokee but it looks like the Honda Passport Trail is about to out ‘’Jeep’’ the Cherokee with its upcoming revamp. I think I will be turning Japanese … I’ll be tuning Japanese … I really think so… :p
 
Ive read every page of this thread over several days. Seems many of the regen issues are affecting 2022 trucks, but is that only because the 2023 and 2024 trucks haven't hit enough miles/time yet to be experiencing the same issues? If theres something different with the 23/24 trucks that they aren't experiencing the same level of issues, then it seems to me that Ram/Cummins must have made a change. And if they made a change, wouldn't that mean they must know what the problem was with the 2022's that was causing the issue?

There are alot of trucks failing at low miles as well. I bought my 2021 in june of 21, sold it with 99,900 miles on it never had 1 issue minus once when heading to belfry kentucky when i got a see dealer then 70 miles later cleared itself up.

I currently have a 2024 HO and it has 5600 miles on it which i bought 2 months ago i think at this point and it has had 5 regens. 4 all in the 24 hour range, one at 16 hours. first regen was at the 16 hour mark.

I will say over multiple forums, and this one for sure most of the issues seem to be 2022. because of this thread alone i tell anyone asking me about used 2022's they are looking at to do a hard pass.

Ram issued a bulletin recently about this. TSB: 25-005-24. It covers 22 and 23 Cummins Ram's. They are instructing dealers to replace the DPF if the truck throws the P2459 code. Rumor is they have identified a bad batch of DPF's that were installed, which makes sense. This should be a recall, IMO.

This could be huge news if true. Any idea how many "bad DPFs" were released?

There are few trucks that are popping up 2023 and 2024. They don't know the fix from what I have heard or seen.

Yep two known fixes but one will void warranty and one will void insurance.

Pffft

An argument can be made (this thread as an example) you only need warranty for the emissions crap anyway.

Insurance?? What??
