Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
This RRT was posted to Dealers on November 13, 2013.
You will not receive a Safety Recall Notice on it, but your truck software needs to be updated if you have a 2013 RAM 2500 or 3500 D2 or DJ model 6.7L Cummins. (Sales code ETK)
It is FREE UPDATE! It can be done by any RAM dealer (I am assuming. And we all know what happens when we assume or make blanket statements...)
I am attaching the actual RRT or Service Bulletin in PDF format to this post. However the following is scanned text conversion which may contain some translation errors. I am including it in text version below for search topics... but suggest your read the PDF version.
Sorry in advance for the poor scan quality but this site only allows PDF files of 250KB or smaller. Try scanning anything that small and legible!
Enjoy....

**If a customer's VIN is listed in VIP or your RRT VIN list, perform the repair. For all other
customers that describe the symptom/condition or if the technician finds the listed DTC,
perform the Repair Procedure.**
PARTS REQUIRED:
Qty. Part No. Description
1 04275086AD Label, Authorized Modification
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE: The wiTECH diagnostic application is the only method for flashing ECU's.
Help using the wiTECH diagnostic application for flashing an ECU is
available by selecting "Help" then "Help Contents" at the top of the wiTECH
diagnostic application window.
NOTE: You may erroneously receive an error message at the conclusion of the
download stating the that the flash was not successful. If there is an error
message after the flash has completed, first confirm that the DTC U1601 is
not present and that the PIN has been updated. If so, start the engine to
confirm the flash was successful. If DTC U1601 is present, OR the PIN did not
update, OR the engine did not start, the flash may have been unsuccessful.
Restart the flash update.
2. Flash reprogram the PCM. Help using the wiTECH Diagnostic Application for flashing
the control modules is made available through the wiTECH Diagnostic Application. For
instructions select the "HELP" tab on upper portion of the wiTECH window, then
"HELP CONTENTS". This will open the Welcome to wiTECH Help screen where help
topics can be selected. After PCM reprogramming has completed successfully,
the following must be performed:
3. Power down the PCM (key off) after flash. Automatic Transmission equipped trucks
must have key off for 10 minutes. Manual Transmission trucks must have key off for
75 seconds.
4. Perform a Quicklearn procedure on vehicles equipped with a 68RFE Automatic
Transmission. Follow the detailed service procedures available in
DealerCONNECT/TechCONNECT, Refer To Group 08 - Electrical> 8E - Electronic
Control Modules> MODULE, Transmission Control> Standard Procedure>
Quicklearn.
5. Clear any DTC's that may have been set in other modules due to reprogramming. The
wiTECH application will automatically present all DTCs after the flash and allow the
tech to clear them.
5. Type the necessary information on the "Authorized Modification Label" and attach it
near the VECI label. .. i
6. Ensure S8 18-032-13 (or later bulletin) is also completed to update Doser Control Unit
(DCU).
