so today im driving down the street and i come up to a stop light. i let off the pedal and my eb comes on like it suppose to only the button was not on and it was like it was on only half way. so i press the button a few times, that did nothing but made the eb come on all the way like it should, and then go halfway off. so i try stomping on it a few times, that also didn't help. the eb also will stay on until i get some rpms going then it opens up but as soon as the rpms are less then about 1500 its right back on. however if i turn off the engine then turn it back on the eb will stay off until my rpms come up to about 1500-2000 then it makes a loud whistle and then it is on for good until i turn it off again. and its not cold either the truck was at running temp and it was like 90 outside. and im pretty sure its not an air leak.

so i take it into the dealer, when i walk in they said they could here the whistle almost a mile away. lol gotta love the straight 5". they seem to think that its the bearings but i am pretty sure it is the eb. i guess we will find out for sure on monday morn after i put the stock air intake back on.:w:

oh i am getting a code it was already on before all this happened but its like "incorrect skim key" or something like that. anyone know what this means? is it related to the problems i am having?

ya its sounds like you are going to be another member of the new turbo club, mine got suck a little bit last week my dealer says they have to clean it. so mine is going in on monday. anyways you shouldnt have to put the stock air intake back on. my dealer says the air intake and exhaust doesnt affect the problems with the turbo and does not void the warranty.

Might want to take it out to a country road, make sure its warmed up. Run Tow haul in 4th with the EB on, and cycle the sh!t out of it. Hit 75-80% throttle till you're high on the tac, then let off the throttle to engage the brake. Keep doing this like 10 or 15 times. The nozzle should self clean as it travels. I gave it a couple of down shifts before I put the hammer down again, each time I cycled the throttle/exhaust brake. I could feel the nozzle sticking from the surging with the EB. This subsided with each cycle.

I do have the beloved 2262 stored. I think dodge's solution to things is to just suppress the codes, or the sensors cause I never got a MIL. The engine actually stalled it was so bad... I hate the dealer, and I have quite a bit of warranty left. I'm waiting to see what pans out before I take it in. As far as I know I may never have to... Before you bring it in, try this technique - you never know...

SKIM key code is nothing to worry about. It has to do with the chip in your key.

HAve you ever had any problems with the P2262 codes at all. Sounds like it needs a good cleaning or a new turbo. I had problems with the P2262 but it never really acted any different except my fuel mileage would just drop.

nope i haven't seen the p2262 code ever, or any codes that even relate to the turbo. my mileage has stayed the same.

My local dealer wouldn't have took it in with the dpf and stuff off. I would hate to have to visit the white sands if I deleted mine and needed work. Pretty long drive.

i decided to go down to the dealership and talk with there tech since they where stumped. we hooked it up to a starscan and he's pretty sure that there is nothing wrong with the truck itself and thought it had something to do with the exhaust so i talked to badp and was told that i could be caused by something with their box or some connection so im going to check everything tomorrow and see what i can dig up.

yeah i lucked out with the cool diesel tech, he didn't call it in other wise they would have rejected my truck from the warrenty for good, on top of that he didn't even charge me. props to cleet at jack key motors
Dude, are you really "outing" your dealer and tech on a public forum? If Chrysler finds out he's doing this do you expect he'll be able to keep his job or continue helping you out?

Maybe I'm out of line, but if I'm Chrysler and I see this, that tech is going to get a serious talk or worse.

We're all in this crap together with these trucks and we need the techs and advisors to help us out if they're willing because most of them are good folks. Rewarding them this way is probably the worst thing you could do for the cause.:thud:

My truck is completely stock except for a banks intake and it also does this it seems like the Ex Brake stick or something and also it was doing this a long time before I put the Banks Intake on it... Mine has been doing after the engine has been warmed up and have been driving it for about twenty min. I think It started doing this about two weeks after I bought the truck I don't think It has anything to do with the turbo being cleaned but idk

no my eb got stuck on here is what happened, at a stop light i started in 2nd and when up to 3K and 3rd to 3k and 4th to about 3K and into 5th at about 60mph and let off the fuel,( now keep in mind the EB was on the whole time) slowed down to about 50mph and put my foot back into it, then it happened which was nothing, i had it floored for about a good three to four seconds at the time the EB was still fully engaged still slowing the truck down until about 45mph. then finally the fuel came back on.

They do have a point. On the any other turbo (dont know bout this one though) there is a specific high pitch turbo sound that IS a tell tell sign of the bearings going out. I dont know if this is what is your problem though. It has something to do with the anount of air being SUCKED through the turbo instead of being compressed. Thats what makes the high pitch sound, the bearing will not let the turbo operate at the speed it needs to keep up with engine. Either way I hope you get a new turbo and get the problem solved.
