I have a 2005 Ram 2500 Diesel. Today the malfunction indicator light came on. Anyone know what it might be or have similar experience?

 

Go down to Autozone and have them put it on a scanner--don't guess! Or just run it into the dealer--duh! Better to catch it now

 

That soon I would either guess bad gas cap or bas O2 sensor. But that's just a guess. Take it to the dealer since it's obviously still under warranty.

 

no O2 sensor on diesels

but just as bullitt said, crank your gas cap down good and see what happens, if that doesnt do it take it to the dealer and have them look at it. they shouldnt charge a thing since you only have 500 on the odometer.

if you wanna get some looks from the ford and chevy guys, pull out the intake tube baffle and silencer ring, make your turbo scream!!!

edit: BTW, Ive gone just shy of 14700 and I havent been back to the dealer for anything. I do my own oil changes at 10K intervals[8D]

 

Sorry, didn't know that. I've never dealt with diesels before. I guess it's true what they say; you learn something new everyday.

 

thats what were here for[sm=shades.gif]

 

Truck went to the dealer today. They replaced the pedal position sensor. Hopefully, it won't have to go back to the dealer anytime soon.

 

hum. . .replaced the pedal sensor. . .I would not have thought of that. . .I know the sensor can be reset. oh well

Hey Guys, I was reading all the posts here, I recently heard that GM is now putting o2 sensors on the duramax. I friend I work with traded in a 2002 or 3 for an 04. He had tons of problems right from the dealers door! It sounds like their finally getting some where with it, but I don't know the results right now as he went to a different shift.

 

I guess that would help in fuel management just like gassers.

any time the manufacturers get involved with the specs on an outsourced engine, the results arent pretty. just look at what happened with ford. it's a good thing dodge doesnt mess with the cummins too much
