My 2nd gen ram lost half its window separation black vinyl when I took it through an automated car wash. Took it to a body shop and for 200$ they removed vinyl, scuffed and sprayed the black back. Couldn’t tell and IMO it looked better cause the clear coat threw a reflection back like the paint!!
Bought mine with 113k, glow plug code around 120k, trouble free other than my self inflicted p04db code when I was fucking around with transmission shift settings lol previous owner did egr around 109k and had a bad run based off nj dealer records
On your fuel filter case under the truck there is a yellow philllips head plastic plug, loosen it and see if any water comes out. If it does turn your key on and prime it again and repeat until diesel comes out. It may have just been a glitch in the system. Your fuel door is designed to not need...
@tcdiesel can you elaborate more on the differences? Understood witech allows for desoot but what are key differences and similarities between the two(desoot and regen) ? My matco handheld allows for dpf reset and service options, is that a stationary regen or a desoot? I will check exact...
I can stationary regen my work truck if I want to sit in the ac during the summer to kill time, ( Isuzu npr) with the push of a button. Takes about half an hour and you cannot move truck at all. I used alfaobd to stationary my ram once around 60% load, took about 20 minutes to clear it down to...
If there is any engine light on no matter the reason, I don’t believe the truck will do an active regen. When I tried to do a stationary regen with my matco scanner the other night with CEL on it would start the regen process then kick it off. Granted it was a dpf code. I reset the code and it...
@BoosN I wish that was the case. Every time I take my truck anywhere it comes back messed up. I dropped the truck off less than 24 hours after pickup, the xm antenna is messed up causing an error message on the radio, cel is on I’m sure since it went from 50+ miles a day to sitting for a month...
The egr delete kit comes with the block off plates for just the tube. I bought mine on eBay for around 100$ if you unplug both pigtails snd the vacuum line the egr shouldn’t function.
Well just picked up my truck today from the body shop. Been a month and a half waiting. Get home and the truck throws a p24af code. Who fucking ray so guess where the truck is going back to because I never had an issue until it got dropped off.
Bump!!! I feel as if I should refresh this to remind others, yes the motor has issues, yes the chassis have issues. It’s man made, ITS GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS. Let’s be a group of problem solvers, not a group who is quick to call them lemons and the doomed. Most of us have good rigs so far, and...
Welcome! IMO the soot should be of less concern than the coolant that the egr can potentially dump into the intake and find itself into the block/oil. If you are changing your oil at recommended intervals you should be okay. Best bet is to delete the egr and roll on with your truck!
Stage one should allow removal of egr. Unplug the two connectors On egr and see if it throws a code. If it does email jimmy and see if he can rewrite tune for you
