Service Required See Dealer Now

there are 2 messages, 1) service required, which is a mileage based emmisions alert. This is easily cleared with the 2 brake 2 gas trick. The truck has no sensors to detected a plugged CCV filter: it is a mileage based alert only.

I think you are getting the more serious alert which makes me think an e-mail to your tuner's company is in order. I think this is the alert just before the DPF full alert comes up. I bet the tuner can fix that problem easy.

I hope you figure it out!

His truck is well out of any factory coverage so it's a mute point.

How long has the engine been under a non OEM tune?

6 years is about right if put in early in it's life...that 'extra' power over and
above OEM comes at a price, IMHO

Consume the OEMs design margins...

Like that guy who posted a thread titled "Arrogant" claiming that OEM ratings
are nothing to pay attention to...to then post a thread about how he was
embarrassed that his diesel was being passed towing uphill by 'half tons'...

Wonder if he understands that he consumed his OEMs design margins by going over the
ratings...

OBTW, the wheels won't fall of instantly when over the ratings...but they will
sooner...

PS...one reason why the OEMs no longer have 'erasable' memory...so
they can tell if the OEM program has been changed...

What is the mileage? Talked to the dealer about my 2012 6.7 and the 67,500 mile service. Change filters, clean injectors, etc. Maybe that is what it is looking for???

Possibly the crank case vent filter needs changing.

we had a similar problem with our Ford. There was crud in the 7-pin connector. Once it was cleaned, the problem went away.

That message pops up in my driver info center ONLY when I am towing.
Vehicle is a 2008 Ram w/6.7 EGR and DPF are deleted and I am running the EFI Live software. The truck runs great and gets excellent mileage. The annoying thing is when this warning pops up it locks out the info center until the next ignition cycle so I lose my instant economy average, trip ODO etc...

Any other Ram owners experience this and if and how was it fixed?

As was posted above, Chrysler/Ram is out of the picture now. They won't/can't even look at it anymore. If you had the work done at a shop take it to them and have them figure out what went wrong.

If you did this yourself then you may have a very expensive repair bill heading your way. Could be a software issue or a hardware issue. Start by making sure all the connections are tight and not corroded. Make sure none of the wiring has touched a hot surface and as been burned. Next run all the wires to make sure they have not been cut or chaffed exposing the wires. If that all checks out and everything looks good, call the company that made the programmer and see if there are any fixes or updates available. You might be able to find some information about this on their web-site.

Good Luck Don
