More Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Problems, DPF 100% Full, See Dealer. Say BYE to the Ram brand.

Once again, the Ram is dead in the driveway. This is the last straw, as soon as I get this squared away, I'm trading it in on probably a GMC gasser.

With alfa OBD you can do a parked force regen, good app. I just did my brothers truck it takes about 12 mins to drop from 100 to 90% and drops quicker the remaining % like every 4 mins it will drop 10%. The truck must be at 60 Celsius or 140F to start. After the regen I had to use alpha to reset the codes and all was good. I only did my brothers down to 70% then got him to highway drive. Make sure you are in a well ventilated area stinks and smokey!

It really works well and will save a lot of time and dollars at the dealer.

I might be late but I managed to bypass this going on cruise control once you hit 25 go cruise control

[@SteeveeDan]

Had no idea, good info!

[@edanthue5174]

@@danielskelton9373 if its anything like my ram press the button for the gear to go up until it passes 8th gear then there isnt a number which I'm assuming is automatic from there once your on the road, hit 25 mph go on cruise control and set it on whatever speed. Hope that helps.

I just purchased one of the last 2022 Big Horn eco-diesel‘s that were made and I was told that I shouldn’t buy this motor if I did short around town drives. I use the truck to drive 25 miles or more at a time so hopefully I’ll be ok.

[@SteeveeDan]

I usually drive mine to work and back each day, 28 miles one way with an average speed of 50 mph. I totally didn't expect this issue. Still waiting on the OBD interface to connect AlfaOBD to the truck and hopefully can force a regen and all will be well. Will make a new vid once I have the interface. Best luck with your Ram!
