- 1500 Eco Diesel 3.0L
I just got a 2016 Longhorn Eco Diesel with 176k miles. The other day on the way home on the interstate the CEL came on and the power went down struggling to get over 60 mphs. Once I got off the interstate it corrected a bit but still winding out at 3000 rpms and only shifting when I took my foot off the pedal. I took it to Oriely to get the codes checked the next day and he knows rams and thought they were odd.
P1D30 oil viscosity low. That's odd because it has the Rotella T6 5w40 in it, levels are good and it was just changed.
P050E Cold start engine exhaust temperature too low. The Orliely guy thought it might be going into a "partial limp mode" is that a thing? Thought there was only 1 limp mode and a friend said I wouldnt see 3000 rpms in that mode.
The truck does go into regen mode a lot based on what others have told me that have a the same engine. I'm taking it to a dealer next week but hoping someone might have input as its running fine on back roads low speeds.
