Wow, someone that actually knows how to make a video. No constant "uhmms" every third word and filled with great info without a lot of useless, unrelated dribble, Thanks so much!

I fully agree!!!

All i can say is THANK YOU SIR !!!

[@leatherneckprepper4477]

Ummm. Well I sometimes eerrrrr say that u,mm in uummmm errrr my err videos ummm. I ummm err don’t have umm a production staff ummmm or errrr a set up ummm because errr ummm I’m ummm not trying to ummm make a umm living on ummmm errr ummm you ummm tube… lol. It does get annoying though with a bunch of them plus saying the same thing over and over as well as adding so much fluff. Get to the point already…. Good info.

[@goducgo]

Totally agree.

[@ericcrowley3712]

WOW!!!!!!! I love your videos and insight. Took my 2022 Ram 3500 HO to the dealer at 67,700 miles for some fluid service and an overall check as we've been traveling the country for the last year and have hauled overall 25,000 miles. Dealer told me I needed a "Diesel Emissions Service: Due at 67k miles - $1,595.88". I told him I didn't remember seeing that in the manual. He told me I need to get it done or I could go into limp mode. Told them I didn't want it. Headed over to MotorCity Mechanic and sure enough. What a scam. Thank you for all you do!

[@farrinbarber3261]

wow i just paid $3200 to replace the DPF system at 55.000 miles

Another great video David! Love the content. Now what I'd love to see is Parts like the EGR cooler and valve that are different between the years and an explanation as to why you think they made a change to the different maintenance schedule.

My 2013 is in now and I was told the EGR needs cleaning and the orifices routed out. I thought I had seen this previously on one of your videos, another $300.00 saved. Thanks again!

Thank you for this video! The Ram dealer in Valencia, CA tried telling me my 2019 Ram 2500 diesel needed all three services you mentioned instead of only the crankcase filter. I kept trying to find this requirement in the owners manual and couldn't. This video cleared that all up for me, thank you, Sir.

2018 Ram 2500 with the 6.7L and the dealer wanted to charge $1400 for this service. Guess I'll just be buying a new filter and doing it myself! So glad I found this. Subbed for sure!

[@josephwisniewski9825]

New to the diesel community. Just bought my first one a 2019 Ram 2500 Cummins. I have been watching lots of videos on what to do and not do with my new diesel truck. Your channel is by far the best, straight talk and good information. I had to have warranty work done, the cable on the EGR bypass valve broke and in turn ruined the EGR valve. Both replaced under warranty. When I picked it up the service person said if nothing else goes bad we will see you at the 67,500 mile service and clean the EGR cooler and valve and replace the CCV. If not for this video I would have just brought it in and had them do it, he said it was about a $1000.00. Thank you for all the information you give out you just saved me a lot of money I can use elsewhere.

[@timross3008]

I have a 2010 3500 Dually with 69000 miles on it. The maintenance schedule only has replacing the CCV filter and cleaning EGR cooler at 67,500 miles. Cleaning the EGR valve is not listed until 135,000 miles. I enjoy your videos and learn a lot from watching them. This is the first diesel I have ever owned so I need you to do more videos on the 6.7.

[@russellcrounse5423]

You saved me a TON of money. I got the dreaded "Perform Service" message right on cue on my '13 Ram 3500 Cummins. I called the dealer to get a quote and was told it costs $1200-$1500 dollars and it was the "rubber stamp" you mentioned to clean the EGR valve, cooler and filter replacement. I picked up a PCV filter at my local O'Reilly's for about $135 and replaced the filter myself. Took me about 20 minutes and all I needed was the tool to remove the wire clips and the 8mm socket. The filter was saturated so it needed to be changed. Did the procedure to clear the message and presto! All done. Thanks for the help!

[@russelallen5342]

Thanks for another informative video.

[@AirRyanTX]

Great video here, thank you for taking the time to share it! I just saw a recent video on a MY21 Ram Cummins where the dealer tried to get him for EGR valve cleaning at his 75k mile service. I noted that in my MY23 owners manual, all it says for the 75k service was the CCV filter, and nothing about cleaning the EGR. Interesting thing was that he took off his EGR valve and it did not look that dirty at all for 76k miles. Now I know why.

[@rubenmoreno8832]

I have a 2015 ram 2500 Cummins with 68,200 mile dealer told me today needed an EGR cleaning serve cuase of the service performance needed and wanted to hit me $1400 for all three service to get this done . I told them to hold off. I started researching when I ran into KZbin channel and appreciate the info. You gave us. Thank you much.👍

Hi there, even though Iam going to my fairly computer free 12 valve Cummins (500K+ miles, 300+ hp) running and would not touch a newer Dodge Diesel pick up with a broom stick, I very much appreciate your very honest eye-opening video and hope that many 6.7 Liter drivers will pay attention to it. Yes, shop mechanics like to cheat and yes it did happen to me to at a Dodge dealership in El Paso and I did pay for parts (valve cover gaskets) and service (valve adjustment) that have never been installed or being done. Thanks again for being helpful and take care!

Your welcome Jose and thanks for being a loyal subscriber

[@jaimeceballos4529]

The company I work for is has its own private mechanics for its fleet myself and couple others. I think that we may be over doing it when these intervals come out we do the CCV, egr cooler, the crossover tube, egr valve, the plenum (egr air flow control valve removed aka throttle body), and the heater grid we even go as far as to scrap some of the soot in the intake manifold and vacuum it out. All our diesels trucks range from ram3500-5500 cab and chassis.

[@justinteller2184]

Solid bro, don't see many other people educating people about this interval on these trucks!!! Dealer tried selling my buddy the full service on his 2014 at 67,500, and at the crazy price of $2,000. I told him to tell them to F off and that at those prices, and that he would almost be able to pay for the cost of a brand new valve and cooler at his "second" cleaning interval, which is actually supposed to be his first cleaning interval at 135,000.
