Thank you for confirming that.

I searched here but didn't find anything, maybe not using the right keywords... I'm changing the front axle U-joints on my '20 2500 and need the torque spec for the axle nut. I found the SKF spec book and it shows 107 ftlb plus 45 degrees. Is this correct?

It has been a little over six months, so I figured a long term update was in order. The issue with the frequent regens did indeed come back just as AH64ID predicted it would. All was great for a couple thousand miles then like clockwork it started to regen every 100-150 miles again. Coming into...

Before you consider something major like a tipm replacement, and if you don’t find anything in the trailer connector, check over the wiring harnesses that carry the wheel speed sensor wires. My ‘13 gas truck had a speed sensor wire rub out on the right front frame. The abs, service 4wd, and...

Thanks for the input. I was just wondering about the likelihood of damage because the last cover I looked at from Mopar had a pretty specific set of instructions: Only install cover on clean dry surface (obviously) If cover gets wet, remove and allow to dry then reinstall ??? (so every rain or...

Does anyone have experience with the mopar factory winter front grill covers? I am concerned about road grit and salt getting between the cover and the chrome causing scratches, and am considering having ppf film put on the chrome to protect it from scuffing and scratching but I’m not sure if...

I find that it is really straightforward and intuitive as long as you read everything and follow the instructions. Other than being able to help test the emissions system problems, I was also finally able to update the tire pressure thresholds to make that damn tpms light go out. It has been...

Can't say for certain with the '23 but on my '20 the cargo light always came on no matter where the trans was. I added aftermarket mirrors that have the rear facing led's and was trying to figure out how to get them to come on in reverse Using the Alfa obd tool navigate to the body control...

I might be reaching, it does look stock but look close at the picture.....I think the back of the dpf might have been cut and re-welded (possibly hollowed out). I drew a blue and green line on what looks like 2 separate weld beads, also look at the quality and consistency of the weld compared to...

Thanks for the clarification, ultimately because I don't use the truck that hard (90% of my driving is to work and back) I can expect this to happen again probably around 65-70k. At that point I will decide if the truck gets deleted or traded in. I don't know where you are located but in my...

Ahh so in simpler terms, rich + light load = low egt’s and more soot and more regens rich + heavy load = higher egt’s and more soot burned so fewer regens

You are 100% correct, and by my understanding rich does run cooler at the engine which helps reduce the nox emissions, but rich means a hotter doc / dpf because the extra fuel reacts in the doc so more fuel=more heat. So in theory that combination means that under light load conditions the motor...

I believe all is well, the tech told me this is a very common problem not just with the ram trucks, but also with the 6.7 in school buses. Any extra idle time or light load makes them soot up and clog the dpf. He says Cummins sets all these up to run on the rich side with the intent of building...

**UPDATE** After becoming completely dissatisfied with the service by any of my local dealers I made the decision to take the truck to an independent heavy truck shop. I sat with the service manager and the lead tech and went over every bit of the data that I have been gathering. Both agreed...

If you remember my other thread “truck making oil”….that’s why the short intervals. I have a big update for that thread coming soon.

Going back to the results from my 2016 which ran consistently 35-45ppm, I was surprised to see this one running pretty consistently over 100ppm. When I queried blackstone they told me not to lose any sleep at night, that if there was a significant issue the results would be in the several...

I've had oil analysis done at every oil change, on my longest oil run that was 9 months and 9,134 miles my iron came in at 214ppm. Shorter 5k ish oil runs I'm averaging 90-150 ppm. The other metals look pretty similar to my numbers. You are running right at the top end of the oil change...

Like @AH64ID said, The bottom connector looks like the throttle valve connector. I don’t want to steer you in a circles but I think more digging in to the history of this truck would be a good idea. The presence of the bypass cable at the obd port and the throttle valve being unplugged is...

Yes, the oem orange rimmed filter that came on the truck, I took it off originally at 1,500 miles and put the cai on. I agree that it appears there is an issue with the dpf, but can’t seem to convince a dealer that it’s a problem. I’m tired of hearing “if there are no codes there is no...

A quick update for anyone that likes data and numbers like I do, and since I have nothing else to do now but wait for the truck to break down and throw a code. I crunched some data. Many here have suggested that an aftermarket cai will cause more frequent regens. I have some interesting data...
