Wow, P0299 is for Turbo Under Boost, which will set the Service Electronic Throttle Control message, I fail to see how the EGR cooler would affect that, but since there was and active recall for that system it doesn't hurt. Now the P245B is related to low voltage in the EGR Cooler circuit which...

The P2047 code is indicative of an open circuit in the DEF Doser (Injector) circuit, that would lead me to look for an open circuit to the Doser module, this would also explain no response from DEF pump as that module also controls the DEF pump. So right now purchasing a DEF pump and hosing...

"Service DEF System Immediately" is the highest level of warning for the DEF system. First; disconnect of the battery does nothing for the codes on this system. This message has to be cleared by dealer WiTech scan tool. Second; Your maintenance of the DEF Doser (Injector) is a great idea. But...

The internal clearance point that the mechanic eluded to is the same thing I was trying to keep simple when I talked about internal friction. As an owner of both a VM Motorati and a Cummins 6.7L and a engine machine shop owner, built my own racing engines, I can address the internal clearance...

Man I had to read this three of four times before I could formulate a response. First and foremost, 5w-40 is just as thick in Europe as it is in the U.S. Just because your bottle says HD Diesel oil in 5w-40 it is not "thicker" than an automotive oil of the same weight. The difference is the...

To short out a lot of discussion, the only legal way to increase mileage is an EPA Compliant tune. I use the Green Diesel Engineering EPA Compliant tune. Most recent trip netted 25mpg at 75mph on cruise control. 3.92 ratio posi trak, E rated LT tires, on winter diesel. Warranty, this tune comes...

Well you are on the right path. the DTC P026C is stated as Fuel Injector quantity lower than expected. Basically not enough diesel fuel flowing through the injector. Yes this can be related to the HPFP not supplying sufficient pressure, which could also set a Low Fuel Rail Pressure code. A quick...

My 2014 now has 179K miles and I love the truck. Yes the towing caused me headaches with the increase in engine temp, tried a couple of methods to lower temp, ultimate was getting a RAM 2500 to tow with. I do not like or agree with RAM lack of parts inventory, this has been an issue with all...

The recall covers 2014 to 2018. We already have the recall notices.

With my turbo coolant line leak I only had antifreeze down the back of the block, over the transmission, on the ground, along the frame, spray on tailgate. I was loosing a half gallon every 47 miles. Never did I experience coolant inside cabin on floor board. The turbo coolant line leak I had...

Frank you more than likely have a heater core leak. I know of no conditions that would not indicate a leak under pressure on our trucks other than the coolant tank was not full during the test Good Luck.

I don't know about Scatpack1 but I live near Tulsa OK. The charge for the coolant line to the turbo was RAM flat rate hours and is correct. If your local dealer is quoting different then he is using a "Regional Correction" clause to lower the flat rate $ amount. Example: my dealer charges flat...

OK, you are wanting a more definitive answer. The Tone Ring is replaced under warranty but the Sensor is a separate charge and if it is not damaged it is not replaced. Your description of symptoms would seem to not indicate a Sensor issue. If and I say If, this truck was in my shop with your...

Agree, sometimes these codes pop up from no where. Write the codes down and clear, then wait and see what repeats (exactly what a Dealer Technician is supposed to do). Some issues that I have had is connections, they appear solid, when undone they appear clean, I clean with a good quality...

OK, I'll bite. You did not designate a code for anyone to start researching. However your statement regarding the now status of "shade tree mechanic" may have some validity. First, your programmer is out of business so cannot provide any support. Any local computer whiz on automobiles can only...

On your first oil change did the oil change reset actually take? My first oil change was done at the dealer, the last time as well, and I made it the 40 miles home when the "Change Oil" light came on. When I went to the indicator it showed 10K miles since last oil change, zero oil life...

I agree with John, two different issues. The recall for the High Pressure Fuel Pump is a national recall and will cost you nothing for the repair. Call your local dealer and find out when they will be receiving their warranty stock, give them your VIN and they will put your truck on their needs...

Good to hear you found a resolution. In the Hazardous Materials Response world and mechanics this is sometimes referred to as "Paralysis by Analysis". But you persevered and identified your issue, good job. Enjoy.

At my last count the Service Electronic Throttle Control message was triggered by 88 engine control situations. I do not know the capabilities of your local tuner to catch each and everyone of these situations. But I will say you need to have a real time date scanner with DTC clear capabilities...

Glad to hear your other issues have been solved. I just went through this with my ED. Mine started when we got home from a four week trip to Montana with the Toy Hauler and the 2500 RAM. Went to move the ED from in front of the shop to move the 2500 in for some engine investigation and WHAM dead...
