Update... Took it to the dealer said it was nothing??? lol they said they cleared the code and did an ECU update and it went away. I know for a fact the code would not clear since I have a good scanner of my own. but ohh well its gone and everything works except the tech made my truck smell like gas.

Yeah... everything seems fine... just fishy that a CEL came up and then a random update fixed it...

Its a slightly common affair with these trucks, Out of a lot of 40 2013 ram's I've seen probably 6 with this code brand new less then 1000 miles. Some you can clear out an they stay gone, others you need to replace the part. its a 10 minute job but the part is like 100 bucks or something.
