Whats the problem?

[Blaine]

Got a 2016 1500, 3.0 obviously. Won't run on remote start more than a few seconds, has lost a lot of coolant, and has a dtc p04db. Thanks in advance

Welcome! Sounds to me like you hve an intake problem but need a lot more info. How many miles are on it now and how many since you bought it? What’s your typical type of driving?

 

[Blaine]

98,000 miles. Typically just drive to work, about 20 miles round trip

 

[Tremper126]

P04db was a code I got after I tuned transmission. 20 miles round trip is borderline what these trucks enjoy. They do much better on the highway. But I would venture to say your egr hs failed and ruined the intake.

Is it still under warranty?

Yes

 

[Tremper126]

The egr has a recall on it so if egr is bad and it ruined manifold then your covered

Has there been more than one recall? It has already been through one cooler recall fix

 

[Tremper126]

How many miles ago was it done? There’s one user who has had his truck go up in flames even with the new egr

 

[Blaine]

I'm guessing 15 to 20,000 miles ago

 

[Tremper126]

I wouldn’t be surprised to find that egr has failed. Also, some of the egr work if they failed was replaced with original style if the new style wasn’t available

If codes are triggered, the remotes start will engages and shutdown.

Yeah, just got off the phone with a service tech, he said the same thing. Good news is I still have a warranty

In 7 months, I've put 3000 on it, 95% of which are highway miles

You should be good. Just makes sure occasionally it can complete its Active Regen from start to finish.
