Well..................Chalk another Dodge up for the EGR code. Just turned 13,800 miles and here come the exhaust issues. Going to the dealership in the morning to drop the truck off. Should of kept the 7.3 Ford? S.O.B.!!

 

If you let em idle and wait till it's more then 40% plugged off, you can't run em hard and long enough to clean em out.

 

Took it to the dealership today and they reassured me that the 09 fixes usually work after one time. Is this true? Dealership said they would pull the turbo and thoroughly clean it and wrap the sensors with "Heat Wrap"? Hopefully this will not be a continuous problem! He said that 07 were really bad 08's were a little better and 09's are even a little better. Feel free to add your two cents. Also, is there a way to tell how clogged up it is? I don't even let this truck sit and idle. I remember when I first purchased the truck that the owners manual warned of prolonged idling. This didn't make sense to me, since I'm used to letting my diesel run all day if I want to.

 

i know my 08 was bad until i deleted. after that it was good.

 

my 08 had 56k when i bought it (showed no warranty work on carfax), i put 15k on it b-4 i deleted everything but never had an issue. it never received the dodge reprogramming.

 

***UPDATE***. Got my truck back yesterday. Codes cleared! Check Engine light off! They pulled and cleaned the turbo. New EGR and heat wrapped the exhaust. One thing I noticed though. NEW THROTTLE ASSEMBLY? WTF? I'm not complaining, but could this just be a recall? I don't know why they put it on and it also wasn't on the dealer checklist of work completed. Any ideas?

 

Well, Well, Well!!!!! What do you know. drove 96 miles and the damn Check Engine light is on AGAIN!!!!!!! This is BS! Back to the dealership in the morning. Updates to come.

 

On my way to the dealer again this morning. Over the weekend the check engine light came on and off at least a dozen times. It's off right now, but I'm still taking it in.

P.S. got my EGR, DPF, recall in the mail Saturday. Anyone else get one lately?

 

Just got a call from the dealership........Now they are telling me they are replacing the PCM. WTF? Give me a break. So now the computer is just randomly throwing codes? Anyone else have this issue?

 

Picked my truck up this morning. Dealership stated, cleaned turbo, new PCM, New EGR and gaskets, blah blah blah. Drove it 23 miles and check engine light came back on. LOL. Go figure. More to come.
