Mines been in the shop four times all across the country..... It goes back tomorrow morning to be scaned to find out whats up... That will be the fifth in about eight weeks with 6200 Miles... They have all been "bogus" codes... Just very little deals but it has not had any new parts installed... This gets OLD ! We should have well over 12K miles by X-mas and im tired of the dealer allready !

8900 on the clock, CEL has been on at least 20 times, normally at the dealership once a week, at least. I've got a turbo on backorder to fix my P2262 problem now, dealership has no idea when it will be here...

I qualify for the lemon law twice over... all I want is for my truck to work right

I just thought about it but if they don't fix this soon it never will be. as soon as that piece of crap nardelli takes over (might have already) it will not be good! he completely screwed home depot investors and workers alike! now cerbus or what ever they are brings him in. was the 210 million + he got out of Depot not enough??

any questions about what the new direction of Chrysler will be was answered when they hired him. he will wring it dry and walk away with millions!

if you don't believe me read up on what he did at home depot.

I had the 'Cat Stat 100%' thing and some other little issues when I first got the truck.

Since the reflash I have not had ANY problems at all. Runs awesome!

I have 15,000 on mine and no problem. Biggest majority of people are having no problem. There are WAY more people on here that have no problems than the ones that do.....MHO

These threads are started by people who are either having problems with their trucks or wanting to see what kind of problems are out there usually before purchasing. but then the threads fill up with people who like to tell the ones who are actually having the issues how problem free their trucks are and how we are a small minority and down play to prospective owners the chances of having issues.

this is just about as useful as the people who like to talk about how smart they were for getting rid of their 6.7 for a 5.9 and post it in every thread they can find.

yes we know most people are not having as many problems and if we don't know there will be 50 posts to tell us so. and then (i have said this before) some of those people have the audacity to tell us that we are basically stupid and cant put in the right fuel or don't drive the right way and that is the ONLY reason we could be having any issues just because they are not.

leave room in these threads for people who have something useful to say. maybe something that might help our situation and not just make yourselves feel better by gloating and rubbing it in over and over how great your trucks are running.

i will say again that i LOVE my truck i don't want another one and i don't want my money back I like most just don't want to be at the dealer every day and don't want to get 10 mpg when they do run. i just want the problem fixed right and be able to enjoy my truck.

I have had no major problems yet BUT:

I have noticed lately that on occasion my truck won't start on the first couple of trys and then starts up and runs well.

I have also experienced the engine running like sh*t once in a while when it starts up and having to shut it off and start it again a few times to clear the problem.

I have no errors coming up and most of the time it runs perfect. I have 12,000 KM on it.

I have experienced the same starting problem as well. Normally it's the early morning startup. I do not know if it will work for you but what I started doing is turning the key on, waiting until all the buzzers and lights go out and the only thing blinking is the CEL, then it starts fine each time. After the first start all the rest I just wait until the buzzers are gone and it starts fine.

You probably already tried this but just incase you have not.

Well after reading the problems with the new Cummins (emissions and motor) they don't seem so bad after reading some the problems with the new duramax(s)LLY. Guess the grass isn't so green on the otherside after all.

Hmmmm...

After owning my '03 (which I plan to keep for a LONG time) I KNOW my next truck will be a CTD Dodge as well.

But I do believe I'll be looking for an 05 or 06 with a 5.9 when I do!!!

I have 8,500 miles now with no problems, I am very happy with my truck. The only problem I have is with the dealer I service my truck with, every time I get an oil change it seems like they get oil all over the interior and carpets.

No one takes care of your truck as you would. It's easy to change the oil in these trucks, just do it yourself. If you had one of these you could drain the oil straight into buckets and not get a drop on you. Fumoto's are right up there with sliced bread.....I've got one on every vehicle I own and have ever owned.

There's no way in the world I'd let those monkeys touch my truck

Here's a video reason as to why they don't change my oil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNgfL-1U-s4

Add me to the list.
Got the P245A code this morning at 2K miles. Anyone find out what this really is and what the dealer is doing to actually address / fix the problem... or is it just the dog and pony show until Dodge / Cummings gets their poop together? This once proud owner just changed tunes....

Arkapigdiesel

Cummings? Is that a new engine?

RiddlerLS1

boy i think we need to start a poll and see how many ppl have had this code show its ugly face. im started to get scerred
