ANY HELP APPRECIATED

The 0341 is the Camshaft Position Indicator. 2269, I can't find and I think it's one of the new codes for the 03 and up.



If the WIF sensor is slimed up, you will have to wipe it off to make it work right.



I don't trust my codes for your truck because they changed in 03 with the new generation.

Yes, Alan is right. The 341 code is the camshaft sensor performance code. The 2269 code is for water in fuel condition.

THANKS.



I am having it towed to the dealer this morning since it refuses to start.

Just a follow up to let you know that Dodge Star center told dealer that they would void warranty on CTD unless the COMPLETE FUEL system was replaced (dealer couldn't get it started after draining tank and replacing filters). Long story short cost= $10,600. Over 1/3 the value of the truck.



Good news: Insurance company paid under comprehensive.



Watch your fuel and be sure your fuel water separator has been checked for the TSB.

Ouch - Did the insurance company go after the fuel station you used?

The insurance company was not interested in where the fuel was purchased since in would have been a finger pointing because there is no locking cap and anyone could have put in the water!!!!
