Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Hi guys, I been a TDR member since 2000 when I bought my 99 Ram. I sold it last year and our shop bought a (Sept. 07) new 2008 F-650 rollback with the 300 hp 6. 7 Cummins engine.
The engine ran has ran fine until a few months ago when I was getting a CEL every morning for about 10 seconds after a few blocks. We took it to place and they charged me a fee too look at it and said that since the light was not staying on that it didn't have a stored code. Of coarse they said the light didnt come on when they had it.
The light returned so we made an apppointment with Cummins power systems in Bristrol Pa. They reported to us we missed 9 reprograms of the computer and it cause the regen fliter to be clogged. We were informed that if it was not under warrenty that it would be $11,000 to fix. My father blew a stack and asked why we were not informed of the updates and they didnt have an answer. We go to pick up the truck ( its been there a week and a half) and I pulled out of the lot and the CEL is on again. I took it back with dad behind and get the service manage to take a peek. He advised us to leave it so they can take a look. Now without a truck for 2 1/2 weeks they call and say it needs a new EGR and TURBO. The truck only has 8000 miles and I drive it 95% of the time (dad the other 5%) After paying 73g's I feel like we are trapped with less than a year left on the warrenty.
