Welcome to the forum!

Diesels turn oil black in an instant. Between the EGR and other emissions it's just how they are. Nothing to worry about really, as long as they changed the oil.

I'm assuming a dead spot in the pedal where the truck is not responding.

Welcome! DIY as it will save you a ton of money.. just make sure you keep your receipts for the oil and filter for maintenance records. This thread should help: https://www.ecodieselram.com/forum/threads/ram-ecodiesel-oil-change-information.318/

Yes I am.. I would call and talk to both.. see which one fits your needs. I don't have experience with either personally.

We have some floating around here @ScooterMcscooter . Also have some bad stories as well.. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome! We've got a bunch of information, and opinions on a lot of topics. Tuning is my first suggestion right off the top of my head.

That's true! They all have issues.. and sometimes you get a bad one.. By the way TC, 01-Early 04 is the LB7, 04.5 - 05 LLY. Early 06 was called the LLY but the same engine as the LBZ. Then 06-07 was the LBZ motor.

Do you not have a lot of highway driving so it doesn't ever come up at all? Usually a quick 10-20 min 55MPH + drive will take care of the regen process once a week.

Dealer will have to manually regen the engine, or a shop with the dealer tools. Welcome to the forum.
