It'll drop a code, usually P0671- P0676 to indicate which cylinder is faulting. As well when you first startup in the cold the little "Coil/Glow Plug" light will flash for the first 10 seconds of running. you can hear the truck misfiring just a hair too for the first 20 or so seconds of running as the other cylinders are warmer and burning their fuel better. I don't always use my block heater, where I live doesn't stay cold enough to warrant plugging it in every night. I'd say I probably only plug it in 50% of the time in the winter.

Okay, Thank You

Coming up on 127k. Just now having some issues, I’ll be replacing intake manifold for stuck swirl valves. Other than that it’s been solid and any issue I was starting to have was addressed with a recall. Stock, no fuel additives. I have a diet ready to go, just need to install it. Maybe come spring I’ll get it going.

Do you use any oil/fuel additives for your truck?
Did you ever clean the EGR or Map sensor
What kind of manifold will you get?
I see Dorman makes on for the 3rd GEN

I been running hot shots secrets for everything. Lx4 everyday fuel treatment and winter anti gel treatment.
Diesel extreme is suppose to help get rid of some of the soot/sludge. I pour that inside my truck every 3,000 miles.

Did anyone install a Dorman 615-311 on there ram EcoDiesel GEN 3 ?
Its much cheaper then a OEM intake manifold just wondering if its better/stronger then the OEM intake manifold.

60K on a 2020 Limited. Best vehicle I've ever owned. No problems other than fuel pump recall and recent 4WD actuator switch failure. Former was recall fix and latter was powertrain warranty. Love this truck. Fabulous family hauler for local and long trips. Put on Continental Terrain Contact tires last year, which I love, especially for their wet traction. 22 MPG mixed, 26 MPG on the highway if I stay below 80. Overall, amazingly satisfying vehicle. I'd buy another Ram.

Same for me, 127K swirl valves. HPFP replaced under warranty, but was still working fine.

How is everyone truck doing ?
how many miles?
Any soot trouble?
MPG?

I am new to the Diesel world as I just purchased my 22 Laramie a week ago. I bought it with 68.6k miles on it. I am going to do a fuel filter replacement this weekend, as I am sure the Hyundai dealership I purchased it from DID NOT do one...

I need to figure out WHERE to look for the SOOT so I can report back to you

Right now, I average 19 mpg city driving. (The truck has 33 12.50 20's on it from previous owner - I want to go back to stock size with some nice AT tires) I am in NW Ga, where nothing is flat! Just joined this forum a couple of days ago so I can learn as much as I can about the Deisel world.

Just hit 180k on my 2020 longhorn, still getting 19 city and 23 highway with 34" tires and the 2" mopar lift. Starting to get the normal high milage problems. Just had to replace the intake manifold at 170k. Check engine light keeps coming on but then it regens and it goes away. This truck seems to NEED to drive long distances so it can regen, its always short drives that turns on the CEL.

Overall, i still like the truck and would buy it again. Not the cheapest truck to maintain but no truck is at this milage.

Soot build up is super common on diesels because of the DEF system for emissions compliance. It sucks and is basically guaranteed to go out at some point, at work just the in last year we had 3 go out, 1 on our ram 5500 cummins, 1 on a peterbuilt with a cummins, and our bobcat s770 with a kubota diesel. And the filter is like $3k + labor. Im at 180k miles and it frequently turns on the check engine light, but once it regens it turns off.
