Ihave a 2006 Dodge RAM 1500, 5.7 Hemi. I noticed that it was running a bit rough now and then while I was on the freeway. I then began to notice that I did not have the power I once had. Then, the check gauges light came one (the one that looks like an engine)

I took it to my guy and his computer said it was an EGR going bad (which would account for the rough running) but it also said something like "cylinder bank 2 deactivation."

Has anyone heard of such a code being stored? My guy had never seen it and when I took it to the dealership in town, they pulled the same code and no one there had ever seen or heard of it before! I was told that it could be something as simple as the MSD celnoid being bad to a complete valve replacement job.

The check gauges light is NOT blinking, but I do a lot of highway driving to get to and from work and I don't want to ruin the motor!

HELP!!!!

 

check the plug in bank 2

 

Might want to post on the 3rd Gen forum you posted on the V6 area.
