My 14 is deleted and modified pretty heavily. Makes about 700 hp. If they think they’re taking my stuff and putting some fruit loop tune on the thing they’re f**king high.

[@shaferzac]

What if they block you from registering your vehicle?

[@petermandel2552]

Gotta pay for the EV rebates some how. And this is definitely a way to bust deleted trucks

[@mrwhamisrick]

Guys with deleted trucks aren't going to be taking them for the update

[@silntklr]

If your truck is deleted this recall does not apply. You're already defeating emissions.

[@RobertHasty]

Just re registered my truck with no questions asked in P.a and got inspected. No emissions where I live. Also turned down the recall at dealer. It was 67a recall, flashing the ecm I believe. Told them, don't touch my truck.

[@oweya342]

Unfortunately to do a reprogram ideally you have to have a charger connected to provide the proper voltage to program the pcm or any other module if the voltage drops while programming it can possibly harm modules. So yes the dealer will have to open the hood, the big tires/monster tailpipe isn't a give away?

[@electrified7309]

I wish that ev's worked i would buy one but the fact is they will not tow for very long. If you have a 300 mile range it will only tow if your luck for 150 miles so then you have to charge for an hour every 150 or 100 miles. Ive had 2 ev's for work cars and they work great for a work car but for long distance thats another story, they dont work for long distance and then theres the thing where the batteries lose half the range in the winter so ev's are not ready for the task.

[@waltercastro2015]

that is one toll to do a buyback lmao. Might as well just call it Bankrupt. Actually is not a bad idea to have two ECM. When is time for state inspection just swap it. They better buy quick before all this ECM sellers are notified.

I have 21 Cummins for my business and we had the recall done and according to the guy that drives it the most he says the gas mileage is down and so is power. But that's just our experience. Good video

[@BigBadJohnDiesel]

Fun fact! The recall was announced before the actual issue was! I received an email from Carfax regarding the recall. I had the recall performed on 12/12. I drove it from Northern Utah to Boise Idaho. I had the cruise set at 85, pretty much the entire way. I didn't see any difference in fuel economy. I also didn't notice any difference in power. However, I am smelling DEF a lot more now, which leads me to believe, the system will be using more DEF going forward.

First, the dealership doesn’t have to open the hood to know your truck has been emissions deleated. They’ll know the minute the plug in to the port since anyone that has deleated the emissions equipment also has to have a programmer to get the truck to ignore all the codes that would otherwise show up. Secondly, I’m pretty sure no dealership in the country is going to agree to overlook a deleated truck, not after watching the EPA ding Cummins for 1.7B! Third, as I understand it, the so-called “defeat device” we keep hearing about is not a physical device, rather a programming in the software that recognizes when emissions testing equipment is connected and adjusts the emissions programming to a tighter standard to pass the testing. With all the horror stories going around about legal action taken against delete shops and software programmers, and now going after individuals, I’m glad I haven’t messed with my 19 Ram. The gestapo is coming for all of us!

[@8ball_998]

Your comment towards the end hit the nail on the head. Government push these complicated diesel emissions on the public that effects reliability and longevity. Increases costs and just adds more components to upkeep and eventually replace. All while exempting their vehicles from it. That speaks volumes. I'm guessing any EV mandates that make it to fruition, will be the same way.

[@mrwhamisrick]

If you live in a state with no emissions checks, don't take it in.

[@jeremiahgladen151]

My buddy owns a diesel repair shop. He said what he understands from the recall is this isn’t a state by state issue, it’s EPA and Federal matter. That means the federal government will tell all DMV’s to withhold your registration if this doesn’t show in the computer system at the dealership as being fixed. Even if it’s a state that doesn’t require smog/emissions checks the dmv will still hold registrations. I do know several people this has already happened to in Georgia and California. This is what I was told, don’t take it as the absolute truth. If you hear of anything different I would love to know. This affects me as well. I was also told they would give one year for this recall just because of the size of it.

They won't find anything because their truck already has the software from the factory and won't receive a recall. All 2020+ model year trucks already have it.

Would someone please explain to me how the hell the possibility of burning more fuel is better for the environment?

[@Sylvan_dB]

It's trade offs. More fuel changes the type of emissions (more fuel, cooler burn, less NOX). More effective use of particulate filter and catalyst requires more fuel. Regen requires more fuel. Even on gas engines this has been the trade off since 1970. Modern gas engines dump extra fuel (run rich) to help the catalytic converter gets up to operating temperature more quickly during the first while after startup. With GDI engines they could run a lot leaner during normal operation, but that would increase NOX so they are programmed to burn more fuel to minimize NOX. EGR is another way of reducing emissions at the cost of more fuel usage per horsepower.

[@bsrcat1]

Dont start with the "military vehicle does have emissions". Seriously? Duh. Diesel engines are basic and they make military engines as basic as possible so the repairs can be done as cheaply as possible. The military also has fully automatic firearms and rockets 😳. Direct diesel electric has been the most efficient combination for any heavy hauling machine. Locomotives diesel electric. Modern ships DDE. All the power, all the torque. As for getting a diesel if the car company cheats the law, that's on the car company they didn't institute new laws against your vehicle... Your vehicle manufacturer cheated the law. Do a class action suite. Buy an older 5.9 ram. Whatever you do stop moaning like it's the government coming down the laws have been there. All I own is diesels. You can look up the emissions laws for the year your truck was built to see if your vehicle is compliant because that's what it's based on the year that your vehicle is built. State regulations are still based off the year built but have different requirements. For instance I live in Ohio and I am lucky enough to live in one of the 13 counties that have emissions checks. For Diesel's our requirements for E-Check are higher than California. It's just the cost of doing business. If you don't like what's going on then class action suit and make them buy it back. If the gas mileage is less, power torque is less... That isn't what you bought.

It will cost you more in fuel and DEF to run the same miles. This will also reduce the life all emission components. The EPA and the government should just stay out of our personal lives. Many of us, myself included rely on our heavy duty trucks.

If your not registered in a wacko liberal state you shouldn't have trouble re-registering your truck but if your in Commiefornia , Oregon , Washington ST., New Mexico , Colorado , or the Northeast then your probably fucked

[@elgroucho7563]

Who gets the money? Not the buyers who are dealing with the situation. Own a 19 Cummins and had all the recalls and updates done- truck ran like an animal before all work done with great mileage. Truck works well now and is still awesome but never the same power or mileage. Just my 2 cents

[@pacifickaihomesllc3605]

Buy old and fix it up cheaper in the long run.

[@derrickroddy7218]

Worker (TECH) "Friend" said that it's just a PCM update and will not affect the Fuel economy and DEF Economy.

[@EvrydyJay]

If the federal government wants diesel owners to have these emission products on consumer vehicles, They need to be putting up the money for the repairs themselves. The government has no problem giving kickbacks to companies to assist with emission control the energy sector, I have a problem helping taxpaying citizens maintain emission control products for diesel vehicles. My two. Cents

[@Jay-y1s6g]

Does gm and ford have this update

[@Mrcopper204]

Mine was redone. 2013 2500hd Laramie. Mileage went up and Def usage has not increased. Truck is more responsive

[@dennisjd63]

Ya ok

[@ronsilva516]

It’s like the old saying go’s do as I say not as I do .remember all gore movie inconvenient truth. No, he was telling people they need reduced their footprint on the environment environmentally friendly stuff, small homes, but yet he had a big mega mansion that use gas and a huge electric bills has private jet a big car that goes more gas than anybody but that was OK, you had to reduce your carbon footprint so to make it OK for him he went and planted a bunch of trees somewhere where trees don’t grow and that was his carbon tax😂😂

[@joecoopdog]

there is not even an option anymore, this year I read they are putting Gas Particulate filters on some vehicles. They are forcing us into a technology that has not been one fully developed and 2 does not have a support system in place and three is even more cost prohibitive than fuel powered cars. There needs to be a freaking buyback at least.

[@ivaldespino]

I didn't realize what the recall was for at the time, so I took it in to do recall. I asked the service manager what the recall was for, and he told me that it was for the emissions. So, I was like "ok, no big deal". Had it done and I'll be honest, I don't see any difference on how it's performing. Feels the same to me. I'm getting the same mileage.

[@michaelhibbs4717]

Plus, I run hot shot fuel additive in my diesel fuel clean my injectors to keep it running good and of course lubricating to sometime in the near future I want to put a compound turbo on it, but I Gotta make sure that this motor is ready to except this compound turbo by putting a better head gasket in it I figure compound turbo or burn more fuel because he’s going through two turbos so that’ll heat up the fuel better I’m all about getting better fuel economy and pulling powered towing power because I got to go out and get 4 tons of hay or five that I have on my flatbed trailer I have Arabian horses that count on me to get her done. Yeah I’ll take these electric trucks are gonna work because I go get my own hair depends doesn’t matter how cold it is how warm it is it’s got to get done so that’s my opinion.

[@21psd]

But even if there was a buy-back option offered to truck owners, dealers would only accept trucks with all of the factory installed emissions devices still intact. Guys that deleted theirs and no longer have the components to reinstall, would be SOL. It even states this on that notice.

[@DaleKalk]

Vote republican and they will stop the EPA and this kind of nonsense goes away!!!!

[@JP_077]

Thank god I don't live in a place where I have to do this.

[@951NewNow]

My Ram won't pass smog since the recall. Just getting warmed up for a fight with the dealer and Ram.

[@feedog9326]

No, a buy back will just add more poblems. You need to take these problems and blame your goverment for these changes.

[@robbygather]

Detuned. Went from 1000 ft lbs to 850. Basically paid extra for nothing

[@josephdettmer6575]

Truck will be fine, had it done on my 18 no issues. No lock out no loss of power no loss of torque. No speculation here. Its going to be fine

[@dalemitchell3796]

Im waiting for them to add on to this recall. Has this been a factor in NOX sensor and DPF failures? Living in a state that has strict emissions testing i have already spent a damn fortune replacing all that shit just to keep my truck on the road

[@navyvet3660]

If the engine doesn’t put out the horse power advertised then they should be made to do a buyback. False advertising

[@14sgs]

Maybe start looking for Gov't Diesel trucks to purchase ...?

[@angelogz4384]

Is it only on Ram trucks?

[@Bearded_Hillbilly]

Funny. They aren't locking the ecm for this but they lock it for the cp4 recall.

[@jmclean2763]

Its 2024, why would you take an old truck to the dealer for a recall like this?

[@robertburgess6100]

That not true as far as the military. They have go over seas and alot of the time the fuel is crap over there.

[@nra4life752]

I live in a left left state I just got a 2014 deleted needed the recall and they dol didn’t say a thing

[@DALTE04]

I own a 2019 Ram 2500 Cummins. I had the VB6 recall done in 2020. I think all trucks made after 2019 already come stock with the emissions standards of the VB6 recall, which is why the 2019 is the only year that needs it. My truck has always driven and towed fine since the recall. It does drink DEF compared to my 2017 Ford Powerstroke work truck, though. My Ford is in regen a lot more though. Also, I try to drive with my exhaust break on at all times. I don’t go into regen nearly as much since I started doing that. I am curious to see if their is another recall in the works. Other folks seem to think that the other recall is just a recalibration so we can’t tamper with the emissions so easily.

[@guardrail2897]

I read where the new Powerstrokes are going thru a lot more DEF than older ones.
