I bought my truck for the sole purpose of towing a 28' cargo trailer ( 9000 lbs) , and it has done so for almost all of its 101,000kms ( 60,000 miles).
It has had the DPF replaced once and is currently sitting at the dealers for the last 3 WEEKS waiting for parts ( another DPF) .
I'm not convinced that working it hard makes as much differance as some suggest. I do beleive that the sensors and pressure switch are the real problems.

At the end of the day, I don't care what the problem is , the fact that my business has been without the truck for 3 weeks is totally unacceptable. I feel completely let down by chrysler
I see my current options as getting rid of:
the DPF & related Equipment
the 6.7L ( find a 5.9L)
a Dodge all together.

good luck with yours

 

Well got my truck back, after it spent 3 weeks at the dealer ( the dealer where it was towed to, 75 miles from home). WHEN they finally got some parts they had it back together and running as good as ever in a few hours.
Worked fine on the drive home, wonder how long that will last ???

 

makes me glad to have found my 2007 MC 5.9 when i did.

 

oh now you're just bragging !
I guess I wanted the 6 spd auto and the EB so bad I waited.
how silly was I ?

 

Thats a chance that a lot of people are willing to take!, The truck will run a lot better if you do the DPF delete and you will save a lot at the pumps!

 

Ram 2500 that is truly remarksble fuel economy that your uncle is getting.
