When I drove off the lot with this Dodge Ram 2500, Cummins 6.7 4x4 QC long bed on 9/08 it was a Kick Ass ride. I had to take it back 10/31/08. for the free oil change. Not bad Love the Truck. 11/10/08 the check engine light came on. The Tech found Built Soot in system and caused the eng light on, Performed soot clean up and cleaned egr sensors and re flashed ecm, When I got it back ........It was a PINTO. Made me SICK!!! So 11/13 Im back in the shop my truck has no power. The teck found the Turbo Sticking and Failed 02 sensor.......Performed drill and tap and cleaned turbo and replaced 02 sensor. Cleaned and wrapped exhaust. I mean who does this to a brand new truck! Drill and Tap the TURBO!!! And whats up with Wrapping the Exhaust!!!! So I give it a few weeks the truck isn't the power house that it was, but it wasn't a PINTO any more. More like a family wagon. So after a short time I called DODGE 1-800 and was told I could take it to another dealership. So off I went to Chapman. 1/12/09 to the 15, my truck was at chapman, Tech found code #2262 turbo failing. Tech replaced Turbo assy and egr valve, Oxygen sensors and cleaned complete sys and performed software update on ecm and ccn. and still runs like a FAMILY WAGON!!! So after a few days I took the truck back for the oil change 1/17/09. Thought it might pick up some power. WAS I WRONG!! 1/19/09 I called Chapman and was told that the Shop Foreman would have to do a test drive. I'm ok with that so I took the truck (family wagon) down. He took it for a drive and told me "with the new updated turbo and software basically i was stuck with the family wagon" "and nothing else could be done." I could trade the truck in for a 5.9 diesel or wait for the 5 years or 100k to put after market acc. to get the power i HAD!!! Then if it wasn't bad enough I have to keep going in to get nitrogen for the tires/ the TPM light.10/31/08, 12/08/08 and 12/27/08.

Ram 2500 2500 HD 6.7L
This is my second RAM 2500 and the other had the 5.6L cummins and was a great truck except for the automatic transmission and the dash that fell apart. Traded it in on the new 2008 with the bluetech trash. It has been nothing but problems since I had it. Bought it in TX and was in the shop 3 times the first year for check engine lights just like the others on here. Same ole story O2 sensors, dirty turbo, blablabla, heard it all. I am to the point now of hoping that if I ignore the check engine light long enough it will burn out and I will not have it staring me in the eye. But the other day we drove to Charlotte NC for a baseball tournament for my son and had gone to get something to eat. On the way back to the ball field I lost all power. I had to down shift to second gear to make it up hills and was still losing power even in second. Thankfully the hill was not that long. The light is on now and has been on since then. Called the dealership here and will be after the holidays before they can get it in. Can't blame cummins this is a dodge screw up.
