Only if your truck is malfunctioning. When does happen which seems to be uncommon,What I have read seems to be coolant into the exhaust stream is a major cause of gumming up the dpf.
I purchased my truck in 2018 and up until this year when I installed a Banks i-dash gauge I did not know when my truck went through a regen cycle. Since then I've noticed it goes through a regen cycle quite often. With COVID since 2020 my office has gone to 100% telework and so I no longer need...
I got about 48,000 out of my OEM's and just swapped out tires and wheels as I wanted to change to 17" rims averaged about 20.5 mpg, and 28.5 mpg highway, 16 mpg towing
I run 285/70/17 on a stock suspension and have room to go to either 285/75's or 295/70. here is a handy website: https://tiresize.com/height-calculator/
has anyone tried this product: https://insanediesel.com/products/ram-1500-ecodiesel-3-0l-bypass-oil-filter-kit ? Does it work? Is it worth the $800 price of admission?
Long story my question at the end:
Just got done with the VB1 EGR recall so I installed a Banks Derringer and a K&N air filter. I liked the result until halfway through trip to AZ and I get a CEL. Checked the vehicles codes using the I-dash and came up with a P1297: MAP sensor out of voltage...
I bought my 2018 Laramie in November of 2018 and have since put just over 50K miles on it. I occasionally tow a 5K lb travel trailer and absolutely love the performance towing. the RAMBOX is a great addition and should've been done long ago. I've used the Vantech ladder racks and just recently...
I try to avoid the B20 biodiesel, as I when I tried it soon after purchase I saw a significant decrease in mileage, same as the decrease in mileage I saw in my gas truck when using the ethanol blends.
I used the pillar mount, part #63191 found it on Amazon as Banks had a three week delay. it made for a fairly clean installation, puts the gauge in easy viewing and reach without obstructing the windshield. great for monitoring EGT, regen cycles and air pressures and flows. replaced the Stock...
just hit 50K as well, only issues are basically false alarms with the odd sensor that resolves on its own without incident. no other issues. Just completed the safety recall VB1 though I had no coolant issues, then installed a Banks Derringer & K&N filter very happy with the results. So far...
I just had the EGR replacement (safety recall VB1) done on my 2018, March 23 2022, there was no re-flash listed on the work order and it ran exactly the same as before. After they were done I installed a Banks Derringer with the I-dash ( I need to stay CARB compliant) and couldn't be happier...
