I got my truck back from dodge after their latest recalls were done wiping my GDE tune and now I have a P245B code and the truck won’t regen I’m going to delete the truck and I hear that the EGT and oil temp will jump up is there a secondary oil cooler I can install? I was told by the company I’m getting my tune from that their EGR kit will be made to attach to another oil cooler but it’s still in development any one know of a good way to add additional cooling to make up for the loss of the EGR cooler?

The P245B will come and go, I'm at loss on how the EGR is related to cooling LUBE, the EGR cools the exhaust gases.

It’s just hear tell some people have no issues some people say when they are pulling a trailer the temp get a little toasty after deleting the truck I’m just wanting to know if that’s true and is so should I add an after market oil cooler or what because I do have to use my gooseneck from time to time but my main trailer is only 1200 pounds and I haul a car or two with it

Hmmm, Benj8...My guess is you will need more truck for that car Hauler. Yes 1/2 tons work and you need to be darn careful. Flat lands at 55/60 MPH probably OK. Out in the Rockies and speeds above 65MPH just to risky.

We hit some 50-60 MPH (Aug 3) winds in Livingston MT, that were not expected, and the ditch claimed some on side Pickups blown over.
