    regen frequency

    If you are smelling the REGEN odour inside your cab, it isn't healthy at all. This is a big issue that hasn't been fully resolved, improvements at best. On my 2500, passive REGEN is always working when temperatures are around 600 degrees. If built up still continues, then you will get an...

    Does the use of the exhaust brake increase rear tire wear?

    I have a 2016 Ram 2500 TD. *As long as the trailer is hitch up, turning off or on the truck, it will remember to stay in smart exhaust mode. *However, once I unplug the trailer, and start up the truck, it turns off the brake exhaust option.

    2016 = 900lbs of torque

    Just recently pick up my 2016 Ram 2500 TD 4x4. I wasn't aware at time of purchase, the changes to the 2016. 385HP and 900LB torque. It pulled my 28 footer Cougar with a slide out, like butter. Love the Smart Exhaust brakes going down the steep rocky mountains. They made changes to the REGEN...

    Bigger Tires on Stock Rims

    I talked to local dealer and they can make the necessary changes to match custom size tires.

    Interesting Read: 9 best diesel engines

    I traded my 2015 EcoDiesel for the 2016 Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel. Yes, the Ecodiesel is peppy and I had no issue with mine, but when it comes for towing in the Canadian rockies, it sucked, it handle well, but the oil keeps wanting to hit 250 F. and higher, if I didn't back off. Also the EGT would...

    Regen

    Oops, I meant CS 2. I do have REGEN STATUS but always stays off. I did get a green and red light on the EcoDiesel, but not on the Ram 2500 TB. I notice the DPF pressure pid is available but haven't tried it yet. I was watching the REGEN STATUS, never changed to on.

    Edge CTS monitor regen status question

    My CS2, REGEN Status always say off, nothing to tell me REGEN is occurring, Despite towing, temperatures stayed around 800. However, my DEF levels is dropping, indicating I am doing a REGEN. I also updated the software and still no go. Tech support, only trying to sell me the juice unit, tells...

    Regen

    I used the CTS 2 to monitor my Filter percentage and EGT on the EcoDiesel. I got over 10,000 KM before refilling the DEF. Sold it and have the CTS 2 on my 2500 TD. My DEF levels have dropped, but REGEN status is always off and I don't see a pid option to select REGEN Filter or anything that tell...

    Locking gas cap for 2016??

    Mine didn't even come with a green cap. Went to home depot and bought a rubber end cap, trim 1/4" off, so that the door shut normal. Ya, it is crazy that they don't have a locking cap, Money talks too much with FCA, etc.

    Bigger Tires on Stock Rims

    Just got my Ram 2500 SLT Turbo Diesel. I traded in my EcoDiesel, no issues with it, but not good enough for towing even my 19 footer in the rockies. I now tow my 28 footer with the Ram 2500. Pulls like cutting butter. So far, all is well. I plan to install the BFG KO2 20 tires, all Terrain and...
