    Grid heater

    I have a 2015 6.7 Tradesman. Completely stock and never had any problems. I use it to tow my fifth wheel as well. A minor issue I had happened during the Covid lockdown. I didn't drive it for 2 months. CEL went on. So I drove it hard in the freeway, drove on many of the hills. After the...

    Cummins Fuel Filters

    My Truck is 2015 Tradesman bought brand new. I, too, use Duralast or any other filter brands from Autozone or Oreilly. Whatever is the cheapest. Never had any problems with my stock truck. For the oil, I used Chevron Delo from Costco. 1-2 years ago, Costco has been selling their own diesel...

    2015 2500 diesel exhaust injector problem

    Mine is 2015 also with 60K miles in it. If it cost $2700 to fix, I'd delete it. At this point, I have no plans of selling it anymore. I just can't imagine paying $2700 for an injector pump.

    DPF Regen

    On my 2015 CTD long bed, I seldom used it for my 5th RV towing. My office is only 5 miles away so it never really gets "hot". Like I said, I've only seen it once when my truck was new. At the time my obd reader would show the countdown from 100% to 0-5%. There was a software recall in 2015...

    DPF Regen

    On my 2015 2500, I once saw a message similar to the OP. At that time, I also had obd reader where it monitored the dpf regen. Once it reached 100%, the reader would show the countdown from 100% down to a single digit, maybe around 5%. And then there was a recall around 2016 or 2017 regarding...

    2015 2500 coolant flush

    Just finished a coolant flush on my 2150 2500. It wasn't that bad. The radiator drain was on the left side. Use a 10mm allen wrench. For filling, I disconnected the hose on the top radiator on the right side. This hose is from the coolant reservoir. Used distilled water and prestone flush...

    Dealer Service Dept States Unleaded Gas Found In Fuel Tank

    I thought unleaded gas can't run on diesel engines at all. The compression ratio is too high causing detonation.

    DPF delete but staying in stock settings

    To mtnrider, Did I get you right? If it wasn't for a couple of issues, you would not have deleted your truck? If so since I have no issues, leave it alone.

    DPF delete but staying in stock settings

    I wasn't very clear with my post. With a full delete, can I keep the truck at stock settings? Will the black smoke be very obvious enough to upset other drivers?

    DPF delete but staying in stock settings

    I have a 2015 Ram 2500 CTD and will be out of warranty soon. It has 46K miles. My plan is to do a dpf delete when it comes time to do the EGR cleaning roughly at 69K. 1. On a dpf deleted truck, is there still an EGR cleaning requirement? No check engine light I am presuming. 2. Can I...
