Sky Island junkie Report post Posted December 29, 2023 I did a vin search on my 21 and just the one open recall that I knew about came up (tailgate latch) so assuming they didn’t customize all of them? I too wish I’d never gotten rid of my 5.9! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOTAGS Report post Posted December 29, 2023 3 hours ago, wildwoody said: I will ask my son when he gets here in a couple hours, hopefully get you an answer, he says the only thing that sucks about the delete is finding a dealership to reprogram computer. Getting tuff. He also said if your deleted and get pulled over in California turn it off, they will take from you on the spot. The other issue with the delete, is selling the vehicle. Better be your forever truck. Buyer Better be in non Maricopa,maybe Pima too(?) county. Not defending stupid emissions standards at all. I looked hard at doing the Delete , and talked myself out of it. Ironically, I read it’s a “Federal”crime to tamper w emissions , lol. But taking money from foreign countries and businesses for favors, and using insider knowledge to enrich your self in the stock market isn’t when you work for the Gov. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildwoody Report post Posted December 29, 2023 14 hours ago, Crazymonkey said: So what's the scoop on the cummins ? I hear they got a major fine for cheat codes on the 6.7 diesel. I just got the recall notification for my 2018 . Is this a mandatory fix ? Like I won't be able to get my tags for next year without the re- flash or am I still good. Anyone have the re flash done yet? What are the impacts to the truck . Hurt milage ,power, or increase in Def usage? Last thing I want is a truck that sucks down pee faster than you need to go . Or a loss of power or reliability . I bought it for the diesel power and reliability. He said you don't have to do it, and to be very weary when you bring it in. Because if they do it , it can never be reversed. Don't do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted December 29, 2023 He said it doesn't change anything on the truck its just a government cheat code. Big brother watching you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZbowhntr Report post Posted January 1 I got a recall notice for my 2018 GMC diesel and asked the dealership about it. They said it was for using too much DEF. So I went ahead and did the fix. It was actually the other way around and I used more DEF and got worse gas mileage. I confronted my service rep about it and he just shrugged it off kind of laughing about it. Pissed me off. Never again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkaholic Report post Posted January 5 Called the ram recall hotline. Not a mandatory recall. Doesn't void any warranties. Was told it was to early in recall for any real info on mileage, etc. But no complaints yet. Basically to appease California crap emissions. There aren't admitting to nothing, No emissions check in chino, prescott area and just put on 2 yr. tags. Dealer stated would only do software emission update if requested. Hsd appointment for my 2018 3500 ram. But gonna cancel for now! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a 2006 Dodge Cummins and got a reflash that was supposed to fix issues. The truck was horrible after that and no way to return to the old flash. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was just one of the many ways they could bring emissions into compliance. Hopefully nothing else changes for him and the rest of the truck systems can handle the new flash. Keep us posted on any milage changes or other issues . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
