#7 of 12 08 Diesel Emissions Issue by jojoboy

Aug 09, 2009 (1:25 am)

My 08 6.7 experienced the same issues you have outlined with the emissions light. Started at 17000 miles and was sent to dealer a number of times. They replaced turbo and several updated Oxygen sensors and TAB's. After about 15 trips to dealer in span of 6 to 8 months they finally corrected issue. Truck now has about 47000 and has not had any other issues. Item 1: Stay on their case. If you drive out and light comes on in 100 miles take it back. Do not wait. Thru persistance and an exceptional dealer and service manager we fixed mine. I think Chrysler has finally figured out most of the bugs in this system because I believe they used mine as the test bed, but they did it. Vehicle never quit or ran bad during any of this time and dealer picked up the tab for rentals each time. Compared to my 04 5.9 I was disappointed in the new truck regarding this issue but other than that it has been absolutely perfect and continues to be in every way. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the Cummings engines and the Dodge products. It runs great and gets good mileage for this size truck. I am hearing the Ford is having some of the same issues with their new diesel emissions. You can thank the government for forcing these guys to add this new emissions to meet clean air standards. At least we don't have to put pee in our engines like Mercedes at $1000.00 per 10,000 miles.

Do you have any idea what they finally got to fix it. I am having to bring it in for a desoot every 500 miles. But I guess thats cause I spend a lot of time in traffic. Its just getting on my nerves.

I now have over 67,500 miles. When the odometer rolled over 67,500 the perform service message displayed on the overhead monitor. The owners manual says to take it to the Dealer and have the EGR valve and cooler cleaned and the catalyst checked. All the Dealer did was cleared the message and told me everything was fine. They didn't clean a thing! Has anyone had this done? The owners manual says that the perform service message is designed to come on automatically at 67,500 miles.

Fords and chevys have a fluid injection system that has to be maintained and refilled at a cost of 1500 big ones to keep dpf and egr problems at bay. Dodge sucks! I am on my 3rd turbo, egr, exhaust valve sensor, ox sensor, DPF filters. on and on. I am pursuing a Lemon law on my 50k piece of s%^& made and manufactured in Mexico.

Up date on previous post. I have an attorney for my Lemon truck and I am planning to be a really difficult customer. Dodge has made a lemon vehicle and I will pursue a Federal lawsuit. The last time I had truck in shop Dodge blamed me the customer, for causing their emission trouble. They said my driving habits were to blame for their 6.7 lemon problems. I had a perfect 2005 5.9 quad that I traded in and my driving habits haven't changed. Dodge just made a 6.7 lemon motor lemon.
