Check your throttle cable. If it's still the original "uncoated" design, it's probably frayed and close to breaking. There was a recall for this years ago. Same symptoms on my 96 3500 12-valve - new coated throttle cable cured it.

my truck has been in the shop for 2 weeks now, i have a loss of power to the fuel pickup on top of the tank, only ONE wire out of 15 or 20 has power and it only gets power to just below the cab. also, replaced fuel filter because truck wouldnt start, not getting fuel. now i only get air through fuel lines, could be cracked line, bad fitting, stopped off pickup, transfer pump? have no clue where to start. should i be concerned that no electric could be from fuel shut off sensor, if so why is it not showing up on computer/electric codes? the truck passed the code check, no failures. need advice!!!!!! thanks, red

2008 Ram 6.7L Cummins by fordfan08

I know the the 6.7L has been out for about a year now and I was wondering, does anyone know if the serious "bugs" have been worked out of the engine, the "BlueTec" emissions system, and the 68RFE automatic transmission yet?

Your exhaust brake does not affect mileage. I have owned two 6.7liter cummins and have had no problem with them. You just simply have to drive them. They are not meant for a run around town type of rig, they are best suited for pulling and long drives. Seriously, I have not had one problem. However, when I took my wife's car on a recent trip and let her drive my pickup around town to pick up kids from school etc. the truck did not do so hot. Lights went off, truck would not shut off until it idled for quite awhile etc...
 
When I am on a trip I always keep my exhaust brake on. nice to let off the gas if you see a highway patrol and the truck just slows down without hitting the brakes.
 
hope, this helps. They are awesome trucks, but are truly made to work!

Fordfan08,
 
I have two of these new blue tec's and I have not had any trouble with them. Both are manual's. However, they are both on the highway a lot and both pull trailers. A majority of the problems people are facing is that they are not getting them hot enough to keep all the equipment cleaned out. They will plug up if you idle them a lot or just run them around town. These trucks need to work! I have edge chips and large air box's on both of them. I can get around 18mpg empty and about 12-14 pulling 15,000lbs.
