    6.7 Intermittent Engine Problem

    Friend has a 2007 that has an intermittent problem. Sometimes when he starts it up, it runs ok and other times it almost acts like it is in a limp mode. It won't do much more than idle. He gets no MIL and dealer hasn't been much help so I thought I would ask here.

    2007.5 Cruise Control not working right

    My cruise control will work initially but when you brake and it disengages it will not resume or if you use it and then stop somewhere and get on the road again it will not resume. Also during use, it has not responded to the decel switch being pushed. It's at the dealership now and they have...

    Regeneration questions

    Is the process of regeneration only triggered by driving conditions or is it triggered by information from sensors? Also is the process varied because of the exhaust temperature i. e. more fuel to increase heat and once it achieves desired temperature fuel is reduced to maintain heat? Next...

    Fuel Mileage during Regeneration

    While going down the freeway at 65 I noticed that the mileage wasn't increasing and in fact was going down. I punched the reset button and the mileage went down to 11. 2mpg. It continued at this value for about 20 miles and then started climbing up. This seems like a lot of fuel being dumped...

    How clean is your tailpipe?

    The tailpipe on my 2007. 5 diesel is still clean enough that you can still see metal on the inside. It also seems like mine sometimes starts a regeneration and continues until it gets shut down and restarted. I think this is happening because I get on the freeway for about 35 miles and the fuel...

    MP-8 for 6.7

    Has anyone tried the TS Performance MP-8 on their 6. 7L pickup? I noticed that in the installation instructions for the MP-8 that they modify the fuel pressure valve and connect to the fuel pressure sensor. They imply on their web site that connecting to the map sensor allows them to modify...

    Fuel Mileage

    Just got back from a long weekend trip with the 9000 lb travel trailer in tow. Mileage was 9mpg calculated and the overhead said 11mpg. I don't understand how my 2007 truck can get so much worse than my 95 did(12mpg with same trailer). This truck has much more power and better gears. Also had...

    2007.5 Flashes

    I now have my 2007. 5 truck at Rev BA and I would like to know what the flashes up to BE do. What do they fix or improve? Perhaps Mullenmax will comment on this.

    Emissions Testing

    In Arizona, the only requirement for my 2007 6. 7 Ram is the Snap test. As far as I can tell, they don't even connect to the OBD connector. Why am I required to have all this extra emissions junk? The emissions systems on these trucks reminds me of the 70's when they started using air pumps...

    Diesel in Oil

    I probably missed but I'm still confused on how the diesel gets in the oil. I know that there is an injection event that occurs during the exhaust stroke that is used to do a regeneration of the dpf but still don't know how the diesel gets in the oil. Perhaps somebody can elaborate on this.

    BA Flash on 2007 6.7 3500

    Got the BA flash a couple of weeks ago and now my around town gas mileage is as bad as it was when the truck was new and they kept telling me it would get better. Also towed the travel trailer up to northern Arizona and power seemed less than my old 95 Ram diesel had. It would hold the hills...

    Cummins Turbo Diesel News...

    Just got the Cummins Turbo Diesel e-news and really have to believe that they don't drive drive the Dodge trucks. I pull a 9000lb travel trailer and here in Arizona this thing doesn't have any more power that my 95 Ram diesel had. I wouldn't have to downshift two gears to hold 50 on the 6%...

    Edge Insight

    According to the manual for the Edge Insight it can read pre and post turbo temperatures without the optional egt probe. Is this correct? Inquiring minds want to know. :confused:

    Hypertech

    Has anybody used the Hypertech Max Energy programmer in the 6. 7L pickup? Does it help fuel mileage?

    Exhaust Brake Question

    I have seen a couple of comments on this forum about the exhaust brake on the 6. 7's having improved mileage when it's off. Does anyone know how this would happen?

    Regeneration

    Is a regeneration a timed event or is its ending controlled by input from sensors of some sort?

    EGR Connector

    If you un-plug it, you get P0405-egr Position Sensor Circuit Low. If somebody knows what the pin-out of the connector is they probably could jumper a couple of pins and not get the code. Does anybody know what the pin-out is? Next question, what is the cheapest method to be able to reset...

    Fuel Mileage Issue

TSB 11-002-098, Installed turbocharger cleaning port and cleaned turbo, performed turbo and emissions systems inspections and test, cleaned all intak...

    Shift Points and Power

    I have a 6. 7 with the 6spd manual and when towing normally down shift at max torque point( 1400 rpm) but now when I shift it seems like the engine doesn't have any power at that rpm. If I shift a lot higher (2500 rpm) it seems to have more power and pulls the hills better. That doesn't seem...

    No Power steering and no brakes

    Son in law has 2006 truck with no power steering and no brakes. Replaced pump and worked good for a couple of days but now back to no steering/brakes. Also different is the power steering reservoir builds up pressure in it. I don't know what would cause that. Any help will be appreciated.
