    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    Now the rear differential is bad. 24,000 miles, and the warranty runs out in a week. In three months, I haven't had it in my possession for more than a week or two, before another problem comes up. The truck's in Anchorage, 200 miles away, and I can't tow or haul anything in this little Jeep...

    Those are Cook Inlet gillnetters. Just a little longer than the 32' Bay boats. That was in Kenai.

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    The truck tows like a champ. I've put another 600 miles on it since the last trip to the dealership for repairs. Still holding at 1,084 idling hours, and I've put about 3,500 miles on it since I bought it a couple months ago. I towed this fifth wheel about one hundred miles, and was happy with...

    And, since I just got the truck back, I finally got the turnover ball installed. Tomorrow, I'll see how it handles a trailer.

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    Finally got my pickup back from the shop, again. They ended up replacing the exhaust fluid pump. They had to special order it, which took a week to get here, then five days after I got the email that they'd recieved it, I got one saying that they'd finished it. They test drove it for fifty...

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    I didn't read any info about the actual effects of the torque management software, in my owner's manual. Driving it, I'm sure it's detuned on acceleration in lower gears. It's downright doggy off the line. Dodging out into traffic is to take a chance at being rammed, as the engine never hits...

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    P2040. Reductant injection air pressure sensor circuit too high. Got the light yesterday. Called the dealer, but they wanted to schedule me with the same guy, and no one called me back. Third different engine light in under two month of ownership. In that two months, the dealer had the truck for...

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    And when you say that, I wish I had the G56, too. No issues with those. It's silly that they say the autos have more power, anyway. The "torque management" software negates any additional power they might have had in front of the auto.

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    It seems like the exhaust brake functions physically, but the programming prevents it from actuating when I could actually use it. For example, if I'm going downhill with it off, the torque converter locks and I get some compression braking. The second I push the exhaust brake button, the torque...

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    Correction: they replaced the SCR. I was told on the phone that they were doing the DPF, but the receipt says catalytic converter, which makes a lot more sense.

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    Things seem okay since the DPF replacement. Haven't gotten an engine light yet. I did notice a vibration on deceleration. Do other pickups have this issue? Going 45, let off the throttle, and there's a fairly strong vibration. The steering wheel shakes visibly. I noticed it before, at lower...

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    I just got a voicemail from the dealer, that they're going to replace the dpf. We'll see how that goes. Might have to wait over the weekend for parts.

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    Let me back up a little. I really like this pickup. I'm not a loyalist, buying by brand, but I've liked the Cummins since my dad put a 6BT in his boat, a couple years after Dodge first put them in their Ram pickups. My '02 was my dream truck, as a kid. 2nd gen, 24v HO, 6 speed. Here in Alaska...

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    No, I'm not one to sue, anyway, but I just don't threaten. Honestly, I've kind of liked this dealership, and I'd like to have a decent relationship with them. It's just that if there are problems with the truck, and they do nothing, then that would be appropriate. Based on past experiences, I...

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    That's it. I thought I had seen that, when I read the discussion about it. I'll hope that the leasing company was good about the oil changes. So, four hours at Lithia Dodge to get new tires on the front and replace tpms sensors. And the 400+ mile drive and overnight stay. They left the P20EE...

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    The code I got last time was P207F. I haven't heard what this one is, yet. I'm not thrilled with all the yellow lights on the dash. Last night, I had tc off, eb on, tpms has been on, and I barely noticed the check engine light in that sea of yellow. Thinking more about the mileage, I never...

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    Thanks, Powder X, for the info on the flash. I suspected there should be a better factory program. Hopefully, the dealer can do that for me. I'm actually sitting in their waiting area right now, waiting for them to finish up changing tires, checking tpms, and the check engine light, which lit up...

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    Don, I'm in Anchor Point, Alaska. Farthest West you can go on the highway system. Good to hear you reaffirm what I thought about the pickup. Mine does run good too, but I wonder if I'll have issues with the emissions controls further down the road, because of the idling. I understand that the...

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    In light of my experience, I strongly recommend that potential buyers check the hours on these trucks before they buy. Nice of Ram to have an electronic hour meter on the dash. If I'd only known to cycle through all the menu options, I would have seen the ridiculously high idle time.

    2013 Ram, high hours idling

    I bought a used 2013 Ram 2500 SLT CC Long bed 6.7L Cummins diesel, 68rfe automatic, a couple weeks ago. AFTER I bought it, I found out it had 1,084 idling hours, in addition to the 1,176 hours driving only 20,109 miles. I was more than a little upset to find that my dealer sold me a slope truck...
