So is it best to have the dealer look at it? Or can my local mechanic deal with it?

I think this site defines the trouble Codes better

Looks good.

Very well could be a plugged DPF, which stock diesels are prone to.

^^^^ DITTO ^^^^ Could be. Or maybe sensor gone bad. Hmmm....

Diesel mechanics deal with DPF almost more than they do anything else

The dealership insists that they check my Filter occasionally & i only have 60,000 miles on it
They do know what i use the Ram for & that i am a Preferred Customer & a Member of Business Link
