This has been bugging me ever since my buddy test drove a 2018 Ram 2500 with the Cummins and I'd like to know if it's normal because after researching it on the net I don't think it is but I don't know squat about diesels.
So my buddy was test driving this beautiful truck, we made it about a mile or so and stopped for a red light and all of a sudden this thing starts bellowing smoke like crazy, then it starts to sound like a jet engine. It was so loud we could barely hear ourselves talking and I was worried that the truck was going to catch on fire or something. So we pulled into a parking lot and shut it down, buddy called his friend who said it was regen at work, so we took it back to the dealership in a roundabout way to see if it would clear up, it did stop smoking but it was still pretty loud and he said he had barely any power. This certainly can't be normal can it?
