It doesn't go into the turbo, it goes into the intake of the engine. EGR will increase the amount of soot coming out of the engine and that is one of the major contributors to turbos getting plugged up.

Man! If I didn't have to go through emissions here in the next year or two I would seriously consider a DPF and EGR delete kit. I could raise my GVW to over 9000lb and not have to get emissions testing but then I would pay double personal property taxes on my truck. I'm not sure which is worse. Honestly, if I could delete those two items and not have to have a programmer then I think I would jump on it. I really just don't feel the need for more power on this truck

The more I hang around this site the more anxious I am to rip off the EGR and DPF.

I've got 21K miles on mine now with very few problems. All I've had is 1 CEL that the G30 recall fixed. I've never gotten any turbo codes (knock on wood) and I use my rig mostly as a grocery getter. We did drive to Alaska and back this Summer with a 2,000 lb camper on it and it ran great.

That said, I just learned that Colorado has relaxed their emissions testing requirements on new diesels, so I don't have to get another emissions test until 2011. I'm going to give the delete manufacturers a little more time to get their code free and EGR systems de-bugged and see if any early adopters suffer any issues. I would guess that by this time next year some of those bothersome parts will have fallen off of my truck.

I'm not sure what the rules used to be here in CO (just moved back from CA), but when I called the Department of Health (they handle diesel emissions), the guy told me we don't need testing until the 4th year of registration. After that, it's every other year until the 10th year of ownership. Following 10 years, emissions are required every year.

yea i understand your pissed.. but are you paying for these repairs? band aids or not? nope.

i won't sit here and say that every chrysler dealer is honest.. but i know we are... if something is broke.. we fix it. we do everything in our power to make the customer happy. however i have another dealer in town here that will "do" warranty work, and claim it through chrysler to make a buck.

the system isnt perfect.. but we.. the public face.. are doing everything in our power, using every tool chrysler has given us to date.. to fix the issue. until they give us a tried and true REPAIR... you ain't gettin one. take it up with chrysler... not your service advisor. i dont care if you make chrysler buy your truck back... and i don't care if you never buy dodge again... i can make my living... and a damn good living... on minivans alone.

have a good day sir

I did not blame you did I? And you tell me @*#$ you? And not to buy a dodge again ...ya that is some good service and reputation for dealers and Dodge there...sorry you hate your job and customers that much....maybe you need a new job..I am sure your customers love that attitude..and ya warranty repairs cost me money in downtime and rentals....you don't care if you ever sell another truck.....great way to do business...I hope your boss realizes your attitude and the business you will run away with it.

You seriously think we don't pay for these repairs? How about the time off work missed having to deal with these issues? How about the family vacation missed two weeks ago because my 9 month old truck with 9K miles on it couldn't pull our boat due to it being tied up in the shop for the 8th time finally getting a new turbo? How about the resale values of this model year(s) that are becoming marked with a scarlet letter? How about the future buyer of our trucks who is going to look at the service trends and maintenance costs and have to think about buying one without a warranty? Ironically, those of you that have the "good" ones will be impacted by this.

CanRam, the band aid fixes are BS regardless of who "pays" for them. The key difference here is YOU GET PAID to deal with our truck's problems, but WE PAY in so many other ways on top of the $40K+ purchase price for things we didn't bargain for.

So you may want to rethink your logic. A lot of us are and will continue to pay plenty for our decision to purchase a 6.7, just in ways not always evident to a tech in a dealership.

Oh gimme a break, how about you start driving your truck like the techs and service writers have instructed you to? J/K

I'm not beatin' on you because I've have had the same lectures.

Now the above was a joke - however the point should be reiterated that warranty repairs regardless how 'free' they may be cut into our work and personal time.

Yeah, it's just a big hassle any way you look at it. For $40 to $50,000 Chrysler should send someone out to get the truck and bring you a free loaner at the same time. Then they should deliver your truck back to you when it's done... I really like this truck but I just hope it doesn't become a problem child like some I've read about. If that's the case then I will be driving a car again and I'll just find me a 1st gen CTD to drive when I need a truck....

One other thing when they deliver the loaner vehicle it should be a loaner pickup truck to match the one you have in the shop. One setup to pull stuff. I do not like driving the pos rental cars, when what I want to drive is what I paid for..

There you go being negative again. It's not a lecture, it's "advice".

The guy said they clean them first and if the code still pops up, they replace the turbo.

How many of you guys have seen zero problems after having the turbo cleaned? Should I drive the truck like a granny in hopes of clogging it again, getting a new turbo and then doing the deletes?

i cleaned my turbo yesterday, by removing it. IMO, they can not properly clean it by drilling and filling with oven cleaner. It's needs to be disassembled, baked, scrubbed. Mine was full of crud
