Visited my dealer today and asked if he had heard of new TSB to cure the overhead error (need oil change). He said no. I asked him to install "version B" and that would clear computer and clear this message. He tried. Came out and said "Found internal fault in electronic overhead module. He ordered the part.
Maybe this is where everyone is coming up with that error.
Go figure.

 

well. . .I do have to say it is better to see that idiot lite saying you neeed an oil change over the idiot lite stating you just lost one of your two turbo's and you have fire comeing from the exhaust


is that the new emblem DC is going to put on the rams???

 

Drew,
You missed the point. The error messages are coming on in error. Manual states oil changes every 7500 miles. Most folks lights are coming on anywhere from 2500 to 4000 miles. You change your oil and light stays on.

 

wow. . .yea. . .I was in left field on that one

I have heard of that, but wasnt sure how serious it was. . .

 

shoot, the dealer here is tellin everyone woth new cummins to change oil at 5000 vs 7500..they are claiming its from our heat in the summer...they do NOT tell the car owners to come in at 1500 vs 3000 either.

 

Mymessage came on at 2000 and cleared like it was supposed to. Am waiting for the dealers response now that I believe a problem exsists in the system. This forum has added validity to my concern. What is a version "B"?
No! I do not want to change the oil at 5000 miles, will follow the Owners for that issue.
If we have enough input to this oil change message, then it can be fixed when the problem is isolated.
Interesting that on some unitsthe messagedoesn't reset.

 

I don't know how the overhead decides it's time to change the oil. My wifes Toyota van just uses mileage[:'(]. I have heard that the GM's use an actual sensor in the oil to decide when to change oil.

 

OKI

Version "B" is just short for an update from a version"A" also with some numbers in the name.... Was a TSB issued about May that fixed some re-gen problems.
