I have a 2012 Ram 2500 Diesel. I have an extended warranty and my check engine light was on so I took it in to the dealership. They told me my catalytic converter was shot which caused my particulate filter to go bad and all 4 ball joints are bad. My truck only has 60,000 miles and I have taken great care with my truck. It seems like that is a lot of stuff to go wrong at the same time and very early in the life of the truck. None of this is covered under warranty. Also There has been no change in how the truck drives or gas mileage. I am taking it somewhere else when I get it back before I have any work done, just to get a second opinion. Has anyone else had similar problems, and how likely is it for all of these things to go BAD so soon? Thanks!

 

Plow truck?

 

I think what you are experiencing is not that uncommon with new diesels. I have been following the diesel forums recently as I was interested in the new EcoDiesel Ram 1500.

All of the Ram models with diesel have problems with CEL due to sensors that get sooted up, problems with the DPF and the Catalitic converters. I've known several earlier models Cummins owners that have spent small fortunes on the injection systems and a small plumbing business owner with a fleet that told me the Cummins in his fleet have given him fits.

Go over to a diesel forum and read about it first hand.

 

Pretty sure emissions are covered for up to at least 8 years/80,000 miles.
