  • Lets keep our fingers crossed that this doesn't have a big impact on fuel mileage, DEF consumption, performance or reliability impacts on the Cummins 6.7l
    Some information below that was listed in the video

    My bone stock 2017 2500 cummins gets a consistent 18 mpg (hand calculated) and sips DEF !
    The MPG indicator on the truck says 18.9 MPG
    I want to hear from cummins Owners about their experiences After the 67A Recall.
    - Them I will believe - Not Cummins, Ram Dealers, or EPA No Way.
    Also - I would like to Thank You for all your update Videos on this matter. Subscribed.

    This lawsuit is really intended to go after all the guys who have deleted EGR and DPF, knowing that most won't spend the high price to have those items reinstalled. Not to mention the fact that there was a reason why they removed in the first place. But John Kerry can fly around the world in his wife's Gulfstream IV with no particulate filters and preach down to us in how all of we 6.7 Cummins owners are polluting the world. Interesting thing on my 23 Ram 2500 Rebel 6.7, the original window sticker is stamped with a B for both CHG and Smog, but on the PDF copy that was available online, it says C+ for CHG and actually a B+ for smog.
    The problem is that the EPA is making up metrics with little to no input from auto/engine manufacturers. In other words, they are pulling the Tier standards out of their ass not even knowing if those standards can be met. But to them, it doesn't matter. If they really cared about NOx levels they wouldn't be mandating biodiesel content at the pumps because biodiesel results in higher NOx levels. Instead, they would be trying figure out how to get every diesel pump full of Renewable diesel. Then, coupled with the massive wide open Southern border where this Administration has allowed 10+ million illegals to come in to our already overcrowded schools, hospitals, and roads - they obviously don't give AF about the smog in Southern California now do they?
    I wouldn't take any new tune from Ram on my MY23 6.7 because I don't want it to consume any more DEF than it already is. I bought my truck just a few months ago before all this crap came out, crap that obviously Cummins and the DOJ were aware of. I've already incurred a perceived loss of value and to some people, a truck that they wouldn't even want to touch. I don't want Ram to buy my truck back but I'm looking for massive compensation. Been there and done that with VW; they bought back a pristine loaded Touareg TDI that was still cleaner than most other vehicles on the road. This is politics, not science.

On the Hwy w/ cruise set @ 75mph my 2013 averages 20.5 mpg and my 2022 got 22.0 mpg on a 3000 mile road trip. The 2022 does seem to consume quite a bit more DEF however. I'm pleased with my mileage.

    I have 2 Ram 2500's; a 16 BigHorn w/50K miles and a 21 Rodeo w/19K miles (both crew-cabs and both 6.7L Cummins). I drive 190 miles/week (95% hwy) and with cruise set to 65mph my 16 avg's 20.7mpg and the 21 is 22.4mpg (based on 5K miles) - respectable. In my 06 4th Gen (Laramie Sport) Dually 3500, I avg'd 23mpg before selling it. However, with DEF, it's definitely more expensive. I live in freaked-out CA, so future programming and recalls issues could change that mileage. I'll be watching for additional suits and recall info.

    I have a 2019 Ram 2500 Cummins and had the CP3 recall done and I noticed that my fuel economy has gone down and DEF usage has gone up. I do run a legal tune on my truck with all emissions in operation, and before it made a huge difference in fuel economy now not so much, and yes I did go back and get the right tunes for the CP3 pump. Everything worked better before the recall was done so I kinda wonder the same thing, was something done to the tune for emission.

    I've driven 9,800 miles with my 2021 HO over the last 6 months and I think I've filled the def tank 3 times. I pull a travel trailer and a dump trailer.. My trunk has never been to a dealer in the 30k miles I've had it and it won't be going to a dealer any time soon. I don't live in an emission state and I still have it stock. I do run HotShot Secrets EDT on every fill up and have since the second tank of fuel in the truck. If someone flashed your truck without your knowledge, that would be a breaking point for me. Good luck.

    Reply to your last post update: My understanding is the 2019's PCM's were flashed for emission upgrade calibration per the VB6 emission recall in 2020. This occurred after Cummins had to do a review on the 2019 trucks emissions after their claims they get 1,000' lb torque with over 400HP. Now we are in the 67A recall for the same PCM flash emissions calibration upgrade for 2013-2018 trucks. Then they will send recall notices for the same to be done on the 2020-2023 with date unknown for now. It's likely your 2019 already had the PCM emissions updated calibration done.

    Compound turbos would rectify the situation as well as well as tuning the fuel injection system to wait until boost was already built before it sprays in extra fuel. You can get a diesel to run clean. With the added benefit of not overheating cylinders 5 and 6, so you don't have to worry about EGTs because you're pushing so much air

I walked back into the dealer and they refused to even take it in. Add this to my failed 68rfe and the failed nav system. A truck is about as useless as a wheel barrow in CA without a smog cert. Opened up a complaint with Stellantis. They suggested I drive my truck to the next town over and give that dealer try.

    I have owned 3 Dodge/Ram diesel trucks since 1999, never bothered trying a Ford or Chevy diesel, the Dodge and Rams have served me well. BUT! I just received the emissions recall notice on my 2017 Ram limited 3500 dually where cummins got caught. After they update the software, if this truck is considerably weaker and drinks fuel and/or DEF, I am done with Ram.
    Some people say just don't take it for the recall, but I still have it serviced at the dealership due to warranty. Then what if I have it serviced elsewhere so the dealership can't do the recall and I have fuel or DEF system issues, then they will figure out a way to deny repair under warranty.

    Interesting data on MPG, and from my reading and various Truck TH-cam interpretations… it does sound like the recall - update will impact performance & milage.
    They’ve been cheating on Emissions to either improve performance in HP & Torque or improve MPG… or Both over a 10 yr period.
    Curious how Recall will carry out… as totally voluntarily or associated with Registration Renewal… then next question would be the large percentage of Deleted Trucks.
    Going forward new models will likely be lower performing… maybe disappointly compared to other HD Diesel Pickups!

      @@CTECH-REVIEW Agreed, after the 2027 Regs, diesel will be essentially forced out by cost & maintenance. The 2023-24+ 6.7 Powerstroke will likely be the "Power King" before the decline of all Diesel Brands and while Cummings struggles to obtain even current ratings with Full Emissions applied after Federal action.
      I'm actually very impressed with the HP / Torque ratings of All New Diesels considering the Emissions and in comparison to the Pre-emissions Diesel power ratings. All obtained Super gains while adding extensive emissions, when you compare the first several Gas Emission Generations being lack luster. Ford has especially found the power with all the emissions packed on while providing overall great reliability... baring dirty fuel CP4 problems (correctable with S&S Pump).
      Yep, agreed... at 66 yrs old, time to purchase my first unfathomed $100K+ Truck... both Price & Diesel Generation will motivate to retain for next 20 yrs... my last Truck 2024 F450 Limited ordered Sept due ??

    My wife has a 2018 Ram 2500 4wd 6.7L Cummins. Something I learned with my 2016 Ram 1500 4wd 3.0L, works with the 2500. Use Hot Shots Secret EDT in the fuel. Both trucks use very little DEF. According to the Banks iDash on my wife's truck. The regen cycles are about 1,100 miles. The fuel economy is 20-22mpg with our Hawk model 4wheel popup camper @ 65mpg. Without the EDT, fuel economy is 13mpg. So the problem is the FUEL quality! Just improve the additives! Whatever Hot Shots Secret does chemically works very well.

My previous GMC w/Duramax was much better on DEF and better mileage. Just traded the RAM for a 2024 GMC. Loved the Cummins torque and exhaust brake but too much going on with Cummins and RAM. My build date was within same time as PDDiesel’s 2022 issues with his fleet of 22’s so that also weighed in on my decision as well as the potential performance and value impact of the latest Cummins issue.

    I have a 20 18, 2500 Cummins I bought used with 82,000 miles on it in July of ‘22. I’ve never gotten better than an average of 13mpg or so. Frequently lower. I rarely have to add DEF, maybe once every few thousand miles one box.
    So will mine get worse if the recall is done??? I took it in yesterday for Service to replace the brake sensor which was tripping and killing my use of cruise control. Told by the service department it was a big deal for a lot of people but not to the level of a recall yet. I was emphatic about them not doing the emissions recall and they said that they won’t if I said don’t. So….

I live in a county with emissions testing every other year so deleting isn't an option. Luckily I found a complete exhaust system from a 24k mile truck. Oh, and dpf problems. And if you haven't checked the grid heater bolt, you had better do the "jiggle test". Mine failed! So I replaced the intake with the Banks monster ram and boost tubes. I've done most of the work myself but at 67 years old its getting hard. But I can honestly say if im easy on the throttle I can get 22-23 mpg on the highway(hand calculated). Oh yea, I also have a FASS filter system and fuel heater.

      @@CTECH-REVIEW D Truck Engine Calibration
      FCA US LLC, has determined that certain 2018 RAM 2500 trucks equipped with 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine requires upgraded emission control software according to Federal and California regulations/standards.
      The engine control software in your vehicle must be updated with an upgraded calibration as required by the US Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board for better emission performance.
      The dealer will have to reprogram the Power Control Module (PCM)
      Dealership Instructions: Please reference Emissions Recall 67A
      and then it goes on to say this repair is free of charge, it will take about an hour and of course in order to register my vehicle again I would need a certificate as proof.
      Also if someone has already paid out of pocket for this, then they can make a reimbursement request.

    What about differential gear ratios? IIRC the RAMs have 3 possible ratios, standard is 3.42, with trucks possibly ordered with 3.73 or 4.10 for heavy towing applications. So if the truck is equipped with a 3.73s of course it will get worse fuel economy than a truck with 3.42s. More RPM=more fuel! The powerstrokes also have a 10 speed as well which aids in better economy vs the dinosaur 68rfe the RAM has.

    • @CTECH-REVIEW

    Remove and clean your Def injector. Just two 10 mm bolts. Def crystals form and mess up the spray pattern. Just wash off the crystals with water.
    You might do less passive regens if the system is working properly.
    Less regens equals better mileage.
    My 2019 had buildup that was effecting the spray pattern.
    Unloaded mine gets 21 or better at highway speeds.
    23 or better at 60 mph according to the dash.
    Skinny pedal makes a difference.

    This is a huge deal. How many years did Cummins test the new programming to make sure the motors don’t burn down or have other issues once they have this update 20k miles down the road? Who is responsible if there are motor issues once they are out of warranty?? These engines weren’t designed in the first place for this new programming. You can bet on lower power, lower fuel mileage, and more DEF consumption at a minimum.
