Gotta wonder if the recall is not more about this than the O2 sensor..

Just had it done on my truck today, It definitely had issues, coughing and drop out before . Hopefully this will resolve them.
What kinda of mileage is anyone getting on this engine?

When you guys take your trucks in for these recalls do you take off your programmers? I just installed an edge w/monitor and not sure what all I need to remove if any?

May be a dumb question, I am new to the whole programmer thing!!!

The dealer may report your truck and void the warranty if they find a programer or evidence or a programer. I would remove it before you take your truck in for service.

Tenspeed59, Was wondering how long this problem been out? Purchased my 6.7l 3500 on Sept.12, had first oil change in mid October with about 3000mi. I thought that was strange, should I have got at least 5k with normal driving. Dealer (Tomball Dodge in Tx) offered no answer and said nothing about checking for updated flash. I now have 5400 mi. as of today and yes the CEL came on.

The only date that i have on the dealership copy of the recall says October 2007 and I found out that the recall was released the last of October 2007. I got my recall taken care of on 11/01/07 after learning about it.
I hope this small bit of info helps you out, and you should be recieving a letter from Diamler-Chrysler pertaining to this recall if your truck falls into the timeframe of being built THROUGH August 20, 2007 (MDH 082019), and also if your truck is equipped with a 6.7L Cummins Diesel engine.

P.S. I have yet to recieve my notification of this recall via First Class U.S. Postal Service mail as of Nov. 22, 2007.

I purchased my 6.7 Liter 3500 Ram on July 28TH. My truck was part of the recall but my notice came late after I had the truck repaired. By the way, a week later, my CEL came back on for a second 02 sensor replacement. All is ok now but beware, during this time, enough miles driven in that condition may have caused your particulate filter to be 80-90 percent used up. You need to call your dealer and ask them for a replacement particulate. It can be done while you wait. They claim that driving hwy speeds for 45 minutes will not remedy the situation.

The ONLY light that has came on so far in my truck has been the change oil light at 6700 miles. No CEL's .........not even a DPF Regen indication EVER!!!......but I do drive it at highway cruising speeds on a daily basis for 36 miles one way to my job at 70 MPH....which I believe is why I haven't had the DPF Regen problems that others have experienced.

My son Purchased a 2007 2500 with the 6.7 Turbo Diesel and it has been in and out of the Shop on a Regular Basis for the CEL

Dealer Replaced the Turbo several Weeks Ago and within (2) weeks . . .CEL on again.

Went Back in and was told that they forgot to Clear something.

Has been ok for several weeks until last Sunday Night . . .CEL on again.

He doesn't do Much (If Any) Highway Miles.

Has anyone else had a Constant CEL / Turbo Problem?

Thank you

I took my truck into the dealer today and they determined that highway driving had cleared my particulate filter so no replacement was necessary. This was after the 02 had been out for quite some time.
