the fix for this is a DPF delete pipe,EGR delete....and a Smarty programmer to make it all work right...... Just bought an 08 taday with a blown up engine at 110k miles because the owner didnt follow precautions

 

Ive got a problem when towing . I have a 2007 6.7 dodge ram 3500 . when towing with tow haul and jake brake and braking on a steep hill the engine stalls. doesn't happen all the time but enough to be dangerous. have you heard about this. Ive had it in to the dealer and they can't find the problem

 

Victoria,

Sorry to hear about your current concerns with your truck? How often does this happen? When was the last time you were at the dealer for diagnostics?

If you'd like additional assistance reviewing your concern I'd be happy to help, just PM me the name of your servicing dealer long with your VIN#.

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Bought a 5.9 in 2007!
Traveled to Dave Smith to get it and saved $10,000 including airfare and fuel to get home.

Glad I didn't try to talk the locals down on the 6.7

Last truck I will ever buy.

 

2008 6.7 is the worst truck I've ever owned. It has been in the shop w/major problems longer than it has been on the road. I wish I had my 5.9 back.

 

My 08 was rarely in the shop, except for the time I broke the transmission. Of course, I removed the egr and dpf the week I bought it.

 

Rescuewiz,

What kind of problems are you having with your Ram? Is there anything outstanding or ongoing at this time? Let me know if you would like any assistance resolving any current concerns.

 

LOL guess I'm not doing too bad at 13.5-14.5MPG with a 500hp truck...
Sad that stock new engines aren't getting any better in fuel economy.

unless he did DPF, cat, and EGR deletes: definitely not

that's cause you were smart enough to leave the egr/dpf gnomes unattended next to your truck

 

Yeah, I really liked my 08. The 6-speed auto was pretty nice for towing, and having it use a brain for downshifting and keeping on the exhaust brake was really nice. 15 mpg on my daily commute wasn't bad considering it was a 7500 pound, 500 hp truck.

 

friend Jim has a 2011 d-5500 they have changed turbos twice flashed the computer changed injectors numerous codes that show up. now the def has crystals in the system so that is going to be replaced. most of the time it starts in power down mode. what can i do to help Jim? he is past being mad he paid 53,000 for this thing now he never has a truck to use because it is always in the shop.
