    Brand New 2018 RAM Cummins found small copper pieces in oil.

    Ok, here they are. These are from the pan, drained from pan drain hole. There is more, just what I was able to get in the time I had. Surprisingly, cut top of filter, pulled out medium, opened it up, nothing was in the filter, anywhere. That made me feel a little better. I am assuming they were...

    Brand New 2018 RAM Cummins found small copper pieces in oil.

    They were not that big. Should have meant mm then. But they are solid and big enough for the shop and dealer to see. I still have the pan as well and will lay them out on black paper. Used a mm ruler to measure them. Ofelas, Will you be able to tell what it is? Have you seen this before? Do you...

    Brand New 2018 RAM Cummins found small copper pieces in oil.

    I want to thank all for the advice. Reading this over I fear I may be acting like a pansy now. I am going to look at stuff as far as the shavings and keep on that, but I am just going to run her and use my truck what it is for. To hell with it and run this Cummins like I want to. I am going to...

    Brand New 2018 RAM Cummins found small copper pieces in oil.

    Update. Truck is back. They said they could find nothing. Compared it to another in stock 2500 CTD and both sound the same. Kept metal shaving evidence and had them write in new service report going back in 5000 miles. I sent for the blackstone oil kit, and will drop this next oil change to...

    Brand New 2018 RAM Cummins found small copper pieces in oil.

    I have received a call from the head of service from them, who will be helping me through the process. He was very understanding and found my options very reasonable. He understands how this is and will go through this with me. He feels he will know by tomorrow. They have called FCA engineering...

    Brand New 2018 RAM Cummins found small copper pieces in oil.

    I will say the Service Advisor just called me and said they understand how I feel. That they are the best RAM shop in ratings for new vehicle warranty repairs in the South and they will take care of it to trust them, that not one bolt or wire will be in the wrong place. This tells me they may...

    Brand New 2018 RAM Cummins found small copper pieces in oil.

    Thanks Joe, ED Right now, like you said, it is a waiting game. I am just going to wait for the verdict. My truck is bone stock and still had the factory fill before 1100 mile change. Not even opened for the vlave lash yet. So it will probably be one of the two. I will respectfully tell them what...

    Brand New 2018 RAM Cummins found small copper pieces in oil.

    Left a case with FCA. Got a case #. I will say this, the representative was not at all helpful but I did this part and I will wait diagnosis. Lemon law here in NC is 20 days for brand new vehicle. Wont go there right now. Will try to work with them once we know what happens. Thank you all you...

    seafish. This is my plan at this point, wait while they diagnose. I will ask them politely to pay this first payment coming though after the diagnosis though. I am going to work with them at this point. They have never given me a bad hand. Will have to take it one step at a time.

    Brand New 2018 RAM Cummins found small copper pieces in oil.

    Thank You John, I will look into it. I just don't know if I should threaten a new truck now, call FCA with that intent, or talk to original salesman. This is stressful as it is. I am out my first new truck and first payment is in December. I will go that route then.

    Brand New 2018 RAM Cummins found small copper pieces in oil.

    Requesting a new truck or new warranty engine and full extended warranty are what I will only accept. They say they have to figure out what happened first. Could take weeks. Then when the verdict comes in I will push. They were told I will only go two ways here, trust me. I think I should also...

    Thanks all for bearing (no Pun ;-) with me and the issue. You are all making me less upset. I have saved and worked my butt of to afford my dream truck. I was getting upset at the dealer, but read the thread again, and you have helped me stay professional but firm with them. Thank You.

    Here is my log so far, and attached writeup. Took out dealer name until fixed or outcome. 2018 RAM Cummins returned for bearing material in factory oil at 1100 miles October 24 2018. Bought truck from Dealer Ram Fort Mill North Carolina. Brand new. Had 59 miles on odometer. History shows it...

    Dave. Understood. The stories about fights over this should not happen to me. No tunes, was the factory fill oil. Never touched the engine. Valve train is very quiet so no need for lash adjustment. So Engine was never touched. We shall see.
