Here is a stupid question but i had to ask, since i bought my Dodge 3500 cab and chasis I have had two new sets of injectors and three turbos put on this truck all covered by warranty, thankfully. Here is the question can you put a 5.9 literdiesel in my truck as of right now the truck got some bad fuel and blew the injectors. at 1800 a piece it would it be cheaper to put a 5.9 in. Any help would be appreciated.

 

NO. The VIN is registered with a 6.7. Removing the engine would be illegal due to not passing emissions as well as the wiring harness is totally different. It would be a lot easier if you just got rid of it and found a good 07 5.9.

where you getting injectors at $1800 each? I can get them for you for $1500

 

I believe the $1800 is injector and install at stealership............ heck its illegal to do anything to the 6.7.......... I say delete all ur emission junk and ur 6.7 nightmare will end

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A F SERIES NOT A RAM, THEY DONT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THAT. IF SO YOU ARE RUNNING THE WRONG FUEL,OR YOUR PROGRAMER IS NOT SET CORECTLY.

 

Yes, the Rams do have those problems...most of which stem from being choked by the emissions equipment. With the exception of a recall for an 02 sensor module, the only thing mine has had to go to the shop for has been emissions equipment related problems. I've talked to the tech at the local dealership, and he has replaced in the neighborhood of 200 turbos in the last year or so. I've had the turbo code come up on mine several times, as well as a code for an injector circuit open, a bad EGR bypass valve replaced, and had to do more than one forced regen. I don't let mine idle, and although I wouldn't say I abuse mine, I don't baby it either. They all have their quirks, regardless of which of the big three built them. The info I have is that the factory is supposed to have a permanent fix for our problem child DPF sometime in February. I'll post it up as soon as I find out exactly what it is.

 

ETXBLUERAM is right about all of the big three with DPF having problems, these engine were not made to idle, I wanted to buy a cummins engine and suffer with the dodge body, but dodge didn't want to give me a good deal so I bought the ford, got a great body, hopefully this 6.4 is a great engine

Idle time kills the fuel systems on HPCR systems, Cummins states a max of 15 minutes in temperatures around 15 degrees F, and less as ambient temp rises. If necessary to idle, 1200 rpm is recommended.

 

I couldn't agree more...
