If it is an actual recall and you have been notified personally by letter, then I would take it in. There are probably many issues that nobody on this board or anywhere on the Internet for that matter may be aware of that could adversely affect your truck. Plus, if related problems crop up later you could be denied warranty for failing to have the required updates performed. I believe the emissions warranty runs quite a ways, just don't know the actual numbers these days. That goes for the powertrain warranty as well.

 

FYI - in cali if you have an emissions related recall pending you will not be able to get current registration until it is completed.

mines going back to stock before august ...

 

What does a guy like me do????????I took all that junk off and put it in the barn.

 

here is the up-date at least for me, I went to my local Dodge dealer and talked with the service manager about my letter, I mentioned that I am happy with my Ram and have not had any issues with it and I am reluctant to have the recall done. He told me that, if I was happy and am having no problems I dont have to have it done. He also stated that if at anytime down the road I start having problems I could still have it done at a later date. He said Dodge will continue sending letters out, but, this recall is not a mandatory recall, there fore I am not haveing the recall done on mine.
Anyway I hope this may help any others who have had a letter sent to them.

i agree totally

 

I got the same letter last week... last night I get home from a business trip, 2nd time the truck moves since I got home and the damn engine light comes on... No idea why. Truck's all stock other then an s&b intake I put on it when the original air filter got dirty...

Gues I'm taking it in now, mine as well since the damn light is on.

 

16,000 on my truck took in today have not seen any changes all stock

 

I had the new program put in my ruck... only thing I have noticed is the mpg seemed to have picked up


Code that happened to pop up was something fuel filter related, I jsut had that done about 1000 miles ago, my guess is the computer has a built in timer that will come on every x amount of miles, for a fuel filter issue, so that way you change it/have it changed... and they didn't reset it when it was last in.

Since Monday, the mpg on my 75 mph 60 mile round trip commute has bumped from about 17 up to 17.9.... and I haven't changed a thing other then the tune getting put in. Whatever it did, it seems to have helped the mpg. Power and the manners of the truck seem to have remained the same.

I'd be curious what I'd get if I actually kept it at 65... I'd guess up near 20. I'll have to try it next tank... gonna be painful to go that slow though.
