    RAM is Down!

    Well boys I triggered a regen after 116 miles after leaving the dealership Friday. When I come to a complete stop the cab fills full of smoke. I happen to be on my way home work when it triggered and I happen to live 2 miles from the dealership. I pulled right into the service center and asked...

    @RamCares you should take some notes on what your customer base are going through. You are going to lose a lot of diehard Ram owners.

    RAM is Down!

    UPDATE! AFTER 14 WEEKS! Ram care will be reimbursing me for all of my out of pocket expense. Tonkin Hillsboro CJDR emailed me saying my truck was good to go. Upon picking it up they held my truck hostage untill I paid $225 for an oil change, this took place to diagnose if there was fuel in...

    Good techs are going away because this new generation is a bunch of wimps. The manufacturers making them jump through hoops on what they think is right. The higher paying skilled job, i know intel has hired a lot of master tech in my area. Not knocking your ability by any means. Not knocking...

    RAM is Down!

    Yeah the dealership has been worthless. I won't ever go back to them for anything. My friend I wheel with is a sales manager there and I will never buy from him again untill he switches dealerships. This will be week 12 with no truck, no time frame, or if they even know what's wrong.

    RAM is Down!

    It's a combination of bad mechanic and manufacturer. The manufacturer will only approve certain things for warranty and dealer won't pay out of pocket to explore the actual problem. Now if the manufacturer does not get good information on what is actually found or issue that are there. The...

    RAM is Down!

    Yep they still haven't fix anything. They already ruined my trip to Arizona/New mexico. We're down here now visiting family and needed to haul my grandfathers tools back, had to get racks for the wife's grand cherokee.

    Same with me, I think the dealer and Ram are lost at this point. Push rod damage usually develops after cam and lifter issues. They have a whole nother can of worms now.

    UPDATE! Injectors tested fine... They are going back to test the HPFP again... The push rods show sign of wear and need replaced....... I dont know if they know if push rods are showing failure, that cam and lifters and who knows what else needs replaced.

    Yeah that's the time frame we are looking at, wife wont be happy, but cant tow a trailer until we have a truck lol. We could still buy one and have a buddy tow it to our house, but camping in the back yard will get old... I have no idea where i will land with my truck looking at options now, but...

    RAM is Down!

    Owning a company and having employees you learn a lot lol. There is a lot out of your control and NOTHING you can do about it. Moving forward is the next step but how you do it is the only way you can control it. Nothing ever gets done over night and service of anything is horrible, only thing...

    Zero updates at all..... Ram care did deny a buy back. Still playing the waiting game, sucks we planned on buying a camp trailer at our RV show and now have to wait.

    This day and age Ram had their own proprietary software and some parts. Most real cummins shops won't touch it anymore. Cummins makes some of it but Ram does the final touches.

    RAM is Down!

    Yeah that does not work for warranty items. Most "Cummins" shops won't touch the Ram 6.7l. That leaves you with local diesel shops that carry no weight with the manufacturer.

    RAM is Down!

    Yep it started with the dealer ignoring what I said. Brushed me off and recommend a power balance test which we know won't do anything to see if the injectors are leaking. The fact I paid money for something they should of done anything I asked. RAM Tech got involved and said it was emissions...

    RAM is Down!

    Motor replacement $30k, DPF and emissions $15k, and turbo intercooler probably $15k with labor all probably close.

    Renewable Diesel

    after running my 6.7l for the last 2 years i would stay away from any renewable or BIO diesel you can. The new emissions systems do not like it one bit and cause havoc.

    RAM is Down!

    Yep they started with the cheapest option possible. what baffles me is they Replaced the DPF which is like $6k lol. i burned that up the next 500 miles i drove. I honestly don't know where this is going to end up looking at some options and i will know more hopefully this next week. My truck is...

    https://www.ramforum.com/threads/ram-is-down.206265/ Been on going for the last month. Essentially I had critical amount of fuel getting into my oil. Dealer ignored it and kept looking at emissions, kept having me drive with fuel in my oil. My frequent regen issue is because of fuel in my oil...

    @Ramo70 Thank you, it was nice while it lasted. It's at the dealership and could be dead soon.
