A different question, but related to the topic that was the start of this thread. Do we have any of the smart folks in the RAM repair field on board that can tell us: 1) Is it possible for an OBD2 monitoring device to alter the engine performance in any way? Is the device simply watching a data...

Paul, in retrospect I think the power wagon would have been great and had I been able to get the same delta between MSRP and actual price paid on the power wagon as I did on the diesel 2500 this would have worked out better. At the time I was under the belief that a diesel engine would far...

Yes Paul, I readily admit that I did not do enough research before buying the 2500. I thought diesels were these long lasting rigs that could sit and idle forever. Boy was I wrong. I got the rig on the recommendation of a good friend that ran a 4 wheel drive shop and had a model year 2007 RAM...

Minor correction to that last post. Forgot to add the $995 Blue-tech to the MSRP. The factory MSRP total after all options was $47,055 and then the dealer sticker had options bringing total window sticker price of $50,285. The cash price off the lot, after factory rebate and including state...

I purchased with no trade in. The Dodge factory sticker listed a base price of $35,015 and then options took it up to final MSRP of $46,060. That included $6,100 for the 6. 7 Liter Cummins turbo diesel, the most expensive option. As an interesting note there was $995 listed for "Bluetec...

Hoefler: You mean all I had to do was drive around with a 6,500 pound trailer all the time and my problems would be solved? Must have missed reading that requirement in the owners manual. (just kidding) I am in a coastal community with lots of twisty roads that require slow speeds. Straight...

I certainly considered ditching EGR & DPF but did not due to: 1) No warranty. I am not willing to void warranty so that means I would have to wait until warranty expires to do delete. Then I'm paying lots of money to have this done for me, as I'm not going to do it myself. And at this point I'm...

Finally decided that I was not going to be able to afford this 2008 RAM 2500 once it was out of warranty and I moved to a gasoline powered RAM 1500. Hated to bail out of the rig at just 20,000 miles as I really thought I would have it 10 or 15 years when I made the purchase. The truck was...

I got a call from the dealer and work is complete. The EGR was removed, cleaned, reassembled, test driven. Parts required were gaskets to permit the disassembly/reassembly. Covered by warranty but nothing to make me think that this is a fix for future problems. For those that say "not...

I dropped my truck off at a new-to-me dealer this Tuesday due to check engine on my 2008 RAM 2500. I also have an Edge Insight on my truck for the same reasons - I like knowing when it is in regen and the extra data it will display. When the service advisor called me to report "carbon buildup" I...

A follow up after a call from the dealer. I am told that they read two codes: P0402 in addition to the P2A01 that I read from odometer. They say carbon build up want to replace EGR gaskets according to the service rep. No idea what that will do to solve the problem or more importantly prevent...

Exhaust brake on as I always use it. Just used the +/- button on the shift lever to drop the transmission to lower gear to slow the descent without needing to use brakes. I selected 1 or 2 as the gear depending on how steep the slope and how slow I wanted to go. Enabled tow-haul about half way...

Thank you for the information on reading code via odometer. This shows the code as "P2A01". My code list describes that as "P2a01-o2 Sensor 1/2 Circuit Performance". Any more detailed explanation of what this means and would a slow six mile descent with engine idling and low gear be likely to...

If someone can tell me how to display a trouble code in the odometer I will verify using that method. After some checking with Google I did not find the method. Model year 2008 RAM 2500 6. 7 diesel.

Truck is a 2008 RAM 2500 diesel automatic 4WD with 19,500 miles. Yesterday I visited a mountain top radio repeater site to swap out some batteries. This takes me from sea level to 2400 feet on 6 miles of steep and rocky road. On the trip down I let the engine hold me back by dropping the gear...

The code was indeed P2A00. Evidently the Edge Insight displayed as "200", missing the "A". They replaced the upstream O2 sensor and installed exhaust wrap. They said that there was a service bulletin on the exhaust wrap and I do recall seeing that mentioned - not sure why it was not done to this...

Heading over to the Oregon coast last night I got a chime and check engine light but no problem indication in the overhead display. Rig is a 2008 RAM 2500 diesel with 14900 miles. I have had check engine lights twice in the past and as I recall a code was displayed in the overhead console...

What are the features of AB, AC, and AD turbo? I had a replacement quite a few months back, think it was the AC that I got.

I would like to install some amateur radio gear in a 2008 RAM 2500 Quad Cab 4WD auto trans. There are a couple depressions formed in the carpet under the back seat that I could use. Lots more space if all that carpet was gone but I hate to do that if the space around those depressions is filled...

What I was trying to determine was if the Edge Insight had to be set to monitor specific parameters in order to display a regen. I'm pretty busy at the moment and wondered if it would indicate a regen if left with the default parameters for a few days. The answer is that you must choose the...
