This sounds totally screwy. I think if I had to pay 2k+ for a known, safety recall issue I'd be making a bigger stink about getting my money back. Those things do take time but man, that seems really wrong.
Is it in limp mode? I believe you should be able to drive it at freeway speeds for about 20-30 minutes and it will clean itself up. This truck needs to go through its regen cycles completely to stay happy. It does not like stop and go or short trips.
Much of the exhaust system should be under a extended warranty due to the emissions scandal. Many dealerships do not seem to be very free with that information. You might want to ask them about it.
I had a DPF sensor go bad on my 2016. I am not the original owner. Took it to the dealer and they replaced it free of charge. The whole diesel gate thing extended the warranty on the emission system apparently. I drove it no problems(maybe went through DPF quicker. .) for months before the...
Dealer should be able to check your VIN and see if it has had all the recalls that they can fix at the moment. There are 2 active ones they can't right now. If the previous owner took care of it well its probably had them. Run some diesel fuel treatment, I like hotshots, to help lubricate the...
I believe this is a code I got awhile back. I drove it for 2months with no issues. Part of that is cause I'm lazy and part was because the dealer couldn't get me in for a bit. Dealer said it was the DPF sensor that had gone bad and replaced it under warranty. No biggy.
My truck has 75,000 overall, I've only put 15,000 on myself. I wasn't accusing you of anything, just curious. If you drive it like a Grandpa, same as me, then shame on FCA, your truck should work.
For the original poster, its crazy how many problems you've had and diverse ones at that. Rear camera light, fuel system etc? How are you driving the truck? I have a 2016 Laramie and while I've only put about 15,000mi on it I've had 0 issues with it. Curious how you would describe your driving...
DPF delete might be more trouble than its worth. Its seems most people don't care that its highly illegal so I'll hit on my experience and a few other points. I have a EPA compliant GDE tune on my 2016 with the Regen message and I make sure it does full regens when I get it. Most of the time...
I had that same error code on my 2016. Took it to a dealer and they replaced the sensor free of charge for me on warranty which was surprising. I guess the exhaust system has a extended warranty (likely because of the class action lawsuit). Saved me a lot of time and hassle.
Yeah, started doing my own oil changes after a couple bad experiences at places. When you take young kids, pay them minimally and don't train them well they just won't care as much as you will and the oil system is pretty damn important isn't it.
Yeah, sounds like a shoddy mechanic. I'd take you truck somewhere else. They do not have a replacement for the high pressure pump yet. Run some diesel additive to help lubricate the pump until they have a replacement.
I am the second owner of a 2016 and had a SCR sensor go bad. Dealer replaced it on Warranty, which I was not even aware that system was covered by a warranty (maybe from the class action . .) The current recall is for the high pressure fuel pump failing. That could be why you are getting a code...
I would like to delete the EGR as I have seen its effects but am hesitant, especially with all the stories in the news lately of tuners and private citizens getting busted recently for emissions modifications, seems like they're cracking down. I have a emission compliant Green Diesel tune, I'm...
Tube does have a somewhat small opening that will start to get covered over with gunk, potentially impeding air flow. I do believe thats worth clearing up. Just want to be careful pulling it out, not to knock crusty's into the intake. Also worth cleaning the MAP sensor while your at it. Mine was...
Hey everyone. I was curious if anyone has tried cleaning they're DPF filter? I'm wondering if regens don't get everything, eventually stuff builds up until you need something more thorough to really get it back to base. I've seen some products out there for it, wondering if its worth doing or...
I bought my 2016 with 62,000 mi. I've read the 2014-2015 were more problematic and they worked some things out by 2016. I've put about 8,000mi on it so far, no issues. Wasn't getting great mileage at first. Replaced air filter and fuel filter, got a GDE epa compliant tune, ran some hotshots fuel...
