Sorry I have been really busy this time of year. Yes, it did fix it. The noticeable improvement was the sound in the cab dropped by 50 percent but it seemed to be a bit louder on the outside. Have put a couple of thousand of miles on it since and it has been perfect. My dealership and dodge were very good and tried their best to make everything good. I towed through the night on Sunday , later today, Friday, and Sunday through the mountains. Will let you know how it goes!

It is doing Great! No Problems. Just had the software updated. My truck was built last November but was never built by Western Hauler till March, so that is when I got it.
What is interesting is that it appears my truck was one of the first to have that emission valve thing go and the turbo replaced. Since then it seems quite a few people on here have had that problem but I have had no problems since!
So hopefully you guys wont have anymore problems. Dodge must have known about the turbo problem because when my turbo went in the spring dodge had the turbo company from Indiana here in Arizona at their proving grounds testing the turbo. They also took the broken turbo from my truck with them when they left. So in the end I am extremely happy about this truck and glad I kept it.
Today I am traveling to pick my new horse trailer. Will post some pictures when I get back!

I bought a 3/4 ton 6.7 on July 3. Since then it's been in the shop 6 times for a total of 13 days. They've replaced the turbo, particulate filter twice, and the egr valve. All of this with only 6200 mi. A engineer from dodge looked at it and could not come up with any answers. The truck still loses power, smokes constantly and only gets 8-9mpg with 7200 mi. on it now.

What kind of MPG are you getting?

I am getting really good mpg. Today with my new 10,000 pound horse trailer I was getting 15-16 mpg when doing 65-70mph. When not hauling I am getting around 19-20 mpg. KS dodge, I would demand a new truck or start the lemon law process. Dodge needs to realize that pouring more money into warranty repairs $$ and it still not being fixed after replacing parts more than once is not going to be cost efficient or smart business sense. All the diesel trucks seem to have their problems with the new emissions but it seems that one truck may be fine but the next one will have lots of problems and bad mileage. By the way, my mileage has not improved since the latest software upgrade but has always been like this. Good luck ks dodge.
