Posted earlier plugged dpf. To make a long story short looking for suggestions. I sure was excited earlier today. My truck quit on I-80 Sunday, was able to get it to a dealer in wyoming. Had to be into work so company sent someone to pick me up. Recieved a call from dealer about noon saying truck was ready. Took my 1/2 ton gasser hooked up to flat bed and went to pick up the dodge. Got there unhooked 1/2 ton hooked up the 2500 found exhaust pipe rattling. Shop did not re hang my exhaust pipe. So had that fixed put 1/2 ton on trailer and headed home. Didn't make it 60 miles before I lost power in the 2500 acting just like it did when it stranded me no warning light, cel or overhead saying catylist full. Ended up unloading 1/2 ton and loading 2500 to get home. I know that the dealer here won't even look at the truck for 2 weeks. Any idea's would really be appreciated. 1/2 ton has air bags but was way over loaded with just the 2500, no way it will handle my 5th wheel I use for work. To top it off I need to be to work again tomorrow, and don't want to sleep in my 1/2 ton for 2 weeks. (No Shower) Wondering If I can pull exhaust and maybe run long enough to get 60 miles out to work with 5th wheel.

 

What kind of fuel are you running? Do you put anything extra in your fuel tank when you fill up? What oil are you using? And last but not least what reflash are you at?

 

unbolt exhaust and go , did they replace dpf and nox ?

 

Last reflash not sure which one but done in Oct of 08. Not sure which oil is being used has been to the dealership for all oil changes. No additives just running winter blend fuel. Usually fill up at chevron or texaco. Original Problem started running down interstate in sub zero temps Topped off fuel in casper wy 70 30 blend, topped off again in rock springs 70 30 blend also. temps today in low teen's. No previous cold weather problems (except for temp sensor error's last winter).

 

Invoice from dealer ship say's "tried to regen - would not go approx 5 miles and vehicle would die. replaced filter assembly - reset counters - test drove all codes self cleared."

 

Should add from invoice " cause filter assembly restricted 11 exhaust
5326 W (n/c)
1 68035060aa converter-diesel particul (n/c)
core charge w (n/c)
1 52155513ab gasket-exhaust pipe (n/c)
2 5149085ac sensor-exhaust temperatur (n/c) "

 

Did they check the EGR? I have heard that these can cause problems like yours by being clogged or the valve being stuck open.

 

Take back to dealer ask that they perform the tsb as written (all exhaust parts must be in a like new cond) that means every part must be cleaned or replaced ! u cant just replace dpf and sensors ,also ask 4 the new az flash, it was just relased ,if they cant or wont call cust serv #in owner manual
