Cummins Explains RAM 6.7L Emissions Recall 67A

Watch Cummins engineering talk through how their software update for RAM 2013-2019 6.7L Heavy Duty trucks really enhances emissions performance through adjusting diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injection levels to reduce tailpipe NOx emissions.

Sounds like the optimal solution is to tune and delete. No more EGR, DPF, SCR or DEF problems or expenses ever again, along with significant reduction in fuel consumption and elimination of DEF consumption.

My trucks made it to 200k with no issues, fuck your update

[jasonlovell]

Next time spend some money fighting the heavy handed epa instead of dumping this on the consumer.

After the update we have to buy twice as much DEF and the Particulate filter will fill with soot faster costing the owner lot more money to repair it.

If Cummins addresses the block heater bolts issue, then maybe I will consider the emissions issues.

[johnnyrico]

I wrote Cummins and told them if they pay my truck off I'll get the update. It was facetious and then further explained that with what they spend in giving gifts for the update we could try to fight the EPA.

I had a MAJOR DECLINE IN TORQUE AND POWER AND FUEL ECONOMY!!!! MPG went from 17mpg plus to 14. The engine sounds like it’s STRAINING when going up a hill with less power. Now a week after the “”67A repair”” my truck is idling up and down at stops. I am furious!!!

Still rocking my 06 3500 that I bought new👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻🇺🇸

What about all the 2019+ 6.7s that have lifter failures .

[dudestuff]

This is why most of my trucks are pre-emission diesels. I will keep putting money and parts into them to bypass this political mess.

[ethanbond]

For those who tow heavy, you will probably use close to 2x more def

When are we getting a ram pickup with the Octane gas engine?

[jimm]

What about the newer Cummins with hydraulic lifters that take out the camshaft and eventually the entire engine?

[TechForceFoundation]

Just like to point out. Vehicles today are computers on wheels. Notice how there were no parts needed for this fix. Technicians handle this procedure through their diagnostic tools. That's a digital wrench 🔧. #TechForce #techniciancareers #scholarships #apprenticeships #studentexperiences

exactly why i deleted mine & added the ram air intake for the grid issue

One day.. ONE DAY after having this update, my 2017 with 87K miles had it's FIRST CEL! Coincidence? You will never convince me! However the dealership I purchased her from and had the 67A update done was VERY dismissive when I called. Oh That could never happen; It has nothing to do with... "! BS! I am beyond pissed! I put a scan tool and came up with 3 codes all relating to the turbo. Last week I was driving out of town to a very important meeting and after idling at a stop light, it had a major power loss. On take-off it would not exceed 15MPH, RPM's were through the roof and it sounded like a jake-braking diesel truck. I pulled over, where there was no real place to sit, and after several minutes of half blocking traffic I was going to limp it to an exit. To my surprise, it was OK - except for the CEL still on. I made it to my meeting on time. On the way back, I again had to stop at a light and idle for a minute, On take-off, the same thing; No power, 10-15 MPH, RPM overload, and horrible sound. Again, I limped it into a parking lot and let it sit for several minutes. After several unsuccessful attempts to take off, cycling the key on/off, it finally ran OK. I drove it home, trying very hard to not have to stop & idle at all. Now, I have a very expensive paperweight in my driveway because obviously I don't want to drive it until it's fixed. Like I said I called the dealership where the recall was done & they were very dismissive. I called another dealership and explained exactly what I just said above. The service manager himself called me back and bring it in, BUT the caveat was the original dealer had not yet filed the papers where the recall had been done! So here I am waiting for that! Truckless! Now when I take this in and [IF] they try to tell me it is unrelated, $hit is gonna hit the fan!

[Don-viif]

okay now lets discuss the hydraulic lifter failures some folks are reporting with the Gen 5 6.7’s.

[skybasherrc]

Wonder when Cummins will start covering the grid heater bolt that falls into the engine and costing 20k+ to repair? Thats a good question I think!

[SCARFACE]

What I'm hearing is, this is going to make your truck worse. No thanks!

[jasenclark]

Had check engine light come on after recall code P2002 and they said sorry that is not covered on your 2018 Ram. But 2019 Ram is WTF
