Am I the only one having problems with new motor?

[JoeBioDiesel]

I am wondering if anyone with problems getting their DPF to regenerate is running Biodiesel at B20 or higher. National Renewable Energy Labs (NREL) has done some pretty extensive testing on Biodiesel and the new emission standards. They found that running B20 or higher blends allowed the DPF to flash off at much lower temps, possibly low enough not not require a special burnoff. They used a Cummins ISB with a DPF for their testing. It would be cool if simply running B20 eliminated active regenerations in actual use (not just lab tests).

Also, I saw a few posts back a reference to the new urea injection systems everyone is considering for 2010. They are going to be used to reduce NOx emissions and won't replace DPFs.

i had my truck in the shop for the second time last week. they replaced the dpf and the other filter on the truck, along with a sensor. they also flashed it with a new rev A flash. that came out on June 13. the mechanic also told me that dodge has produced bad DPF's. cause not all trucks are having this problem. so i would think if you are having the problem it may not go away until those are replaced. and if your mehcanic is looking else where you might want to take your truck to another shop. knock on wood but the goat is doing well.

Just an update... . sorry haven written in so long... Well everything was great for about 2 weeks, then while on a trip to Dallas my check engine light came back on. . Im getting about 7 different codes now, P0148,p0087,p2080,p2084,p0847. I bought a scanner & cleared them but the light comes back on in about 50 miles... Then while fueling I noticed that the whole truck is covered with diesel underneath... My injection pump is leaking... .

I have a 07 chassis cab 6. 7, 6 speed manual, with 23000 miles. not one problem. i use the truck for hot shoting i put at least 400 miles a day an it . the daeler said that that was probably the best thing for it. the day i got the truck (23 miles) i went to the local muffler shop and cut off the muffler, the truck is still as quiet as before. so alls i can say is run it hard, my truck only regenerates once maybe twice a month, and it has not seen a service department ever

New update. . I was on a run to Dallas Tx when my truck started leaking diesel out of the bottom of the injection pump. I drove it to the dealer & they say that it needs a new injection pump-$4800, & a new computer, the diesel that leaked made the wires coming out of the ecm melt, so they had to oder a new wiring harness & a new computer. I droped the truck off on monday & they just got the parts in on friday, so it will probably not be out until tuesday. .

I have contacted an attorney about lemon law & will let yall know what happens. . I just want to get rid of this truck.

they are also having alot of turbo problems with the 6. 7 now. My service tech said they have 7 trucks waiting on turbos that are on back oder. . The parts are so hard to get on this new engine & some part #s are not even made up yet. I have requested to meet with a zone rep in person at my dealership, I dont trust this truck anymore. I wish I could have my 2001 5. 9 back. . even with 330000 miles on it, it was more reliable than this truck. #@$%!

All I can say is "no thanks"--I'll stick with an older 5. 9 for 1/3rd the cost of a new one.

I wouldn't worry too much. You'll have a good warranty and if Cummins can't fix the understandable first year bugs nobody can.
We have had block problems, KDP problems, transmission problems, lift pump problems, and on and on. When you tow with that 07. 5(68rfe?) you will forget all the problems that "might" come up later.

I just had my truck reflashed last week for the second time. The week before the dealer reflashed it and changed the exhaust sensor. Today the engine light came back on again. I will call the dealer again Monday, but this sure is aggravating. The truck runs fine and gets great MPG's. Sure hope that Dodge can fix this.

I have been having the CEL come on and then off the past 500 miles. I have the reflash rev. A and it sure seems to take a long time to regen. I think the cycle isn't able to complete with my short trip driving.
