I made it home a few hours ago! 5,300 miles on the truck in around 40 days. Those last 2000 sure were a lot smoother without constant coolant stops, check engine lights, and stutter. Truck is running nice and solid now. Damn that was an expensive trip. Again/ thanks for all of the help!! and...

Not a dpf code, it’s just that the odb reader I bought gives me tons of stats, but for dpf, nothing. I have had some codes on this trip- nox sensor and exceeding learning limit of EGR. Also had a misfire in cylinder 6, the mechanic today said that could likely be cleared up by this as well...

And the verdict is in- it is in fact the EGR Cooler. Had to go to three shops to finally have one who could look at it today. This time, it did have moisture in the tube running to the valve. Must not have been enough a couple of weeks ago when I had it apart. ordered the EGR cooler with...

Currently at our 3rd shop in town, and maybe our last hope for this town. I think they are going to look at it, but not 100% sure what kind of place I’m dealing with- waiting to talk to the actual tech. it’s got to be evaporating, I’ve never seen a single puddle. If it was the water pump, it...

The truck has something called “warranty forever” from the selling dealer. It’s a third party they use, and it works by usually locking you into service at the selling dealer. but since I live over 150 miles away, my only requirement is documenting that oil changes are done and that I...

yes- he thought the oil looked good a couple of weeks ago, and I checked it today and still no milky look. It was super dark and black and a little thicker than what I’m used to in a car or my old truck, but when I looked that up, it said diesel oil is thicker to start. Is that right? The diesel...

I can’t find it anywhere. Only coolant I ever see is what I miss when I’m pouring, which isn’t that often, or when It’s open and spurting coolant everywhere. I thought a little black was what was supposed to be in the tip- but as I’ve said I’m new to the diesel world after having my 96 1500...

I had that apart at the beginning of all of this in the parking lot of oreillys in Kansas. I was on the phone w a service manager and he told me to check that. It was dry- now of course I’m going through way more coolant so possibly there is something there now.

Sorry for the delay and thank you for the overwhelming response! Unfortunately, I’m not near anywhere anyone recommended - I’m actually in Page AZ for Lake Powell. I read the responses and tried the suggestion to leave the cap loose as we messed around in town this weekend, but mostly I knew I...

2017 Ram 3500 4x4 w 6.7 and Aisin. 107,000 miles. Apology in advance fir this super long post, but I want to give as many details/clues as possible. Here goes: Bought the truck last summer to haul my truck camper. Had low coolant a few times. I took it to a shop before my current trip (from...

Jesus! Joined here bc I heard folks may be able to help troubleshoot my issues, but seeing I can sell or trade my 2017 w 107000 miles for about $10000 more than I paid last year, is tempting! But I need the truck for the camper…
