Really makes me appreciate my 2003. It has no choked down emissions, it has no Def, it has no sorry automatic transmission.....it has no 80 grand price tag....it's lean and clean, simple and mean!

I had a big dealership tell me I did the right thing when I told them my truck lost all the emissions crap. This was back on a 2015 ram the service department told me majority of the issues with the trucks are emissions equipment problems then causing engine problems. I know it's frowned upon now but when you spend 65-85k on a truck it better last you a long time. Deleting the emissions is still the only safe way to go for longevity.

I’m glad I found your videos because I’ve been planning to buy a 22 at the end of this year to get a deal but this scares me because I can’t be without my truck for months to get fixed

Hey Paul thanks for the update on truck 22. That water in the fuel light comes on every time you're in the rain or wet conditions and then it turns itself back off tell the next damp area you get into LOL. Man I miss that truck anyway have a blessed day. And please keep us updated on what happens with her👍

I would love to see a tear down video of one of these 22’s having the problem.

Yes, please get permission to film inside the shop. We’d love to see the tear down and failed parts

Only took five minutes to get to the point.. But thank you for the video.

Good thing we got a '21!! Wonder if any ram engineers are watching this channel yet. Should be.

Traded my 22 Laramie in on 23 Sierra at4 couldn't be happier ...transmission shifts drove me crazy in the ram

Just stumbled across this video. Not a diesel truck owner but considered the GM/GMC 3.0 for my use. Sucks to see a 60+ k vehicle go south within jn a year and GREAT documentation too since you own more then one of the same engine truck. Could see a class actiin suite against dodge for some people don't even drive 20k a year.

Thanks for these videos Paul. I decided to leave my 22 at the dealer and buying another 17 instead.

Thank you Paul for stepping up to the plate to explain what you know so far. I realize you have a business reputation and a repair shop to maintain and it's a fine line to walk to go public with what you've learned, I thank you. Many of us have the 2022 Ram/Cummings trucks but we've spent a fortune by purchasing them and we depend, absolutely depend on them to perform as Ram/Cummings said they would, so the stakes are high, a lot is on the line and Ram/Cummings had better respond or the Ram/Cummings Reputation is lost forever. Blessings Paul, again thank you from all of us Ram Owners, we appreciate your insight.

I have a 19 with 99K miles on it and it’s doing the exact same thing. You can actually here a loss of compression as it misfires and it does it really bad upon first startup just like yours. It is hard to hear on video because I’ve posted several videos on the ol forums and everyone says oh it sounds fine lol. The dealer actually said it was fine too until I told them to start up the brand new one sitting right next to it and see if it does what ours are doing lol. Yeah it’s been in the shop torn down for a total of four months waiting on Chrysler to approve the new engine and they are fighting it every step of the way! The tech said it was the cam and lifters at first but they said upon further inspection after getting into the engine that the whole thing needs to be replaced which is exactly what I said from the beginning.

I’ve got a 2022 3500 HO srw and still don’t have a problem. My 2021 5500 has its grimlins that won’t go away but it’s not terrible either. “Electronic throttle control” light won’t ever go away

Had a 21 with over 300,000 km on it other then oil changes tires and brakes never had a single problem on it traded it in for a late 2022 and no problems yet but will definitely be keeping a eye out for any warning signs

If I was owner of 22 and hearing what you are saying, I would be trading my truck tomorrow for something else. Fortunate to have 4th gen

Gotta show that 14'!!!! 😂 Love my "Classic" too. 👍💪

Hard to say, but personally I would lean towards either an oil issue or an oil supply issue….

at 17:39 we see the engine hours. 1830 idle, 1871 drive. That seems a bit unusual to me.

I'm 65 y o, drove used cars all my life, ordered my first ever new vehicle, a 2022 3500 HO and now this! Mine built in May. Got a build date range on your problem trucks? Vid in the dealership would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I love my '14 too, I've had 2 4th gens and they're the best bang for the buck imo

I have a 2021 HO and I’m praying I don’t have any issues with any of this crap. So far it’s been great. Thanks Paul.

The thump thump through the intake is the same sound on a buddies 05 7 or 8 years ago. thought the cam was wiped pulled it no issue with it put new one in lasted a few weeks before sound came back thought maybe head gasket. Turned out to be the cup on the pushrod and ball on the rocker wearing out and sticking together.

I have a 21 3500. DPF was full and wouldn’t regen. just got it deleted and is running great.

So is the dpf completely clogging off to the point where it’s not letting much pass through the exhaust and making the compression exit through the intake? I’m trying to figure out what goes wrong based your videos. Thanks 🙏 Paul. Great 👍🏼 info sir.

Sounds like main bearings I wonder if they have a different oil pump in the new 22 engines.

My company has had approximately 500 Ram pickups in our fleet but due to the major issues they are now in the process of replacing them with Fords and Chevys. My company truck is a 2020 and has 112 highway miles on and other than the turbo actuator having to be replaced it has been a great truck.

Really would like to see more detail on this because I felt like I had been missing something with all the vague allusions to a catastrophic failure that was never explained

It’s so strange that so many of these have had this problem! I wonder if other brands have had issues with this model year?

I have a 2014 Ram 2500 HD 4x4 crew cab, 8' box with a 6.4 gas motor. They've already put 2 new motors in under warranty and going to put a 3rd new one in. Same problem with all 3 of the motors. Cam and cam bearings going out filling the motor with metal bits. When it's cold, it sounds like rocks in a can being shaken.

I don’t no why Cummins went to roller lifters they had no problems with tappits

So glad to have a 2021 and a 2005.

Hey Paul, are you able to share the build sheet (window sticker) on one of your problem units?

Do you see any signs of problems in your oil analysis? I imagine youd start seeing elevated wear metals as the valve train begins to fail.

Hemi engine builders have had a problem like this when pushing more power like putting blowers on them. They have found that the oil journals weren't allowing enough oil up the push rod and wiping out the roller tappits and the rockers. I'm not familiar with the Mopar moters and there oiling system however one engine builder said his solution was he drilled out the oil ports in the tappits and that stopped his engines from gernaiding the valve train.

Is this a problem with the high output engines ? Or all ? Thanks

I've heard recently that there is carbon building in behind the piston rings causing issues, Caused by the emission system. Not sure if this would be the problem with this truck.

I work for a towing company and operate 10 Ram 5500 cummins..and 10 6.7 international and M2 freightliner haven't had any of this? New truck or 2 purchased every year. They are beaten daily towing excessive extended idle time.. only major problem we had was the Ram front driveshaft u-joint failing total destruction. Transfercase split in two. Witing harness, hole in floor and brake lines..65mph total unscheduled rapid destruction 😊

Thank goodness I'm a 7.3 man I can do 80 miles an hour for 12 hours straight zero issues zero concerns I change my oil every 2,500 miles or less rotilla I haven't I have an 03 it runs perfect zero issues for a decade you got a 96 as well runs perfect

So glad I got a early 4th gen model that’s deleted.

Heard it right away wow can't afford 22 anyway thanks definitely here it

Hello Paul, thanks for the information. I don't know if I missed this in any of your videos on your fleet of 22's, but have you compared build dates with some of the failures you are seeing? I've heard that 2H 2022's are seeing a significant increase in failures, along with the Aisin transmissions. Keep the updates coming!!!

Sorry to hear about the trouble with your Ram. I got the 2019 Ram 3500 with 205k. Believe deleting an intake plate could’ve help?

Thanks for information

I bought my 2007.5 at 18months old and 67000 miles. The DPF was totally clogged with ash. You cannot burn ash in the DPF. Of course I drove really fast down a horrible road and some stuff fell out. Hole saw took care of the ash problem. Oil change at 3000 15W-40. I don't care what they would say, no way I would run 5W in a diesel. Truck runs better than new still at 16 years old, 240000 miles 74,000 of which is towing at 25000 pounds all up, lots of backroads and mountains in that towing. RV traveler full time. It is that new Italian steel.

waiting on my 22 back from tranny work just in time to look forward to this 😂

Sounds like the valves are stretching (tuliping?) Which would explain the compression coming out on start up. Start checking valve lash at least intake,,, if its constant skrinking,,, valve is getting longer

Cummins must think by the time an average person hits 100k miles we will be all electric and the warranty is out. Things are ridiculous with these 22s. Keep putting them on blast. Most people can't afford to have a 100k truck let alone one that keeps blowing up. Ridiculous

What kind of oil do you use and have you switched since these problems arises?

My ‘22 just went into the dealership for internal engine issues. I have the Cummins HO engine. They aren’t aware of the issue yet, but to me it sounds like lifters. My truck only has 10,000 miles on it. I don’t use my truck for work so having it down doesn’t cost me anything. I am disappointed in Cummins for the significant drop in quality. As long as Ram and Cummins own up to the problems and fix them I can’t be too mad, but man am I disappointed.

I have a 22 dually 4:10 high output. The first few trips were fine. Then for some reason the exhaust was working 1/2 as strong as it was, not worried it has big breaks. I was going through the Ozarks down a big hill with the exhaust brake on and the curse had about 20k pounds behind me. The truck was picking up speed at about 74mph it down shifted and a second later it down shifted agan. Wound that tack around screamed the engine scared the hell out of me. I stomped on the accelerator to force an up shift, it shifted with a bang. It does this all the time now, It didn't do this on the first 2 trips. Told the dealers, they said they can't make it do it. So I don't think they don't believe me. Told them you would need a big load and hill. I am so sorry I got rid of my 15. The HO engine is supposed to have quite a few upgraded parts, what are the odds of having problem you are talking about?

Well my 6.0 doesn’t take def but it does tend to have its issues I’ve had ficm go out I’ve had the y pipe explode and the boost reader thing break other than that solid for a truck that’s turned up to 450-500

Now here's the $64 question. How much did it cost to get the engine repaired?

Paul love your channel. I’ve been watching you for couple years now. I live near Calgary Alberta, i ordered a truck in may of 21 and received a 22 3500 limited srw long bed in November 21. Two months later my dealer informed me that I would be receiving a recall notice for the upgrade to activate the emissions system. I have never received anything yet and my dpf has always stayed at 0%. Wondering if you have had any similar experiences with any of your trucks

Did the oil pump manufacture change from 21 to 22? Sounds like lifters and rod end are going away on ya. What's the oil pressure like from the 21 to 22 truck?

I have seen engine builders complaining about premature lifter failures eating up the cam due to soft metal. Sighting supply chain issues causing cam manufacturers to source lifters from China. Wither it is a domestic or foreign the problem is improper procedures for the heat treatment process. I wonder if this applies to this problem, cam, lifters, rocker arms, and pushrods.

I serviced my truck with a aftermarket air filter that threw the same codes. I couldn’t figure it out. Went to the dealer bought a Ram filter and changed it out. Codes went away put 10k since no more issues

2021s are the same. My daughters just went down at about 130,000 miles same problems same symptoms

I will stick my 12 with 378,000 plus no def. Part of the problem with these newer high torque engines they are just pushing too much torque. But most of hauling is with an 05 Ford 6.0 and I never pull a hill like I need to get to the top first. I hold my egt and my ect temps down and keep my fuel pressure up. But I don`t know anybody down that has not had problems with the 18 and newer Rams. The only thing I worry about with my 12 Dodge is I check the grid heater bolt on a regular basis. But all cummins have there problems. We have 2 older 5.9s that have been killed my the dowel pin coming out and breaking the cam shaft.

Are you running any oils additives?

Totaled a 19, got a 20 with miss, engine light Cp4.2...trader for a 22 roll through 22k with power, 25+ mpg and lots of DEF. Bought Oct. 2021 one day before the relay recall...we got the ab relay not the aa. Part#

I was thinking the same thing about 05 3rd Gen !!

Thank you

i have a 21 HO long bed crew cab dually that sputters for a few minutes warm or hot start, still runs runs great once you start to drive. Have you seen this

Everything you have mentioned is worn out due to metallurgy or oil cannot lubricate. You should try different brand and compare results. I have mentioned in my previous post about Schaefer dealer having Cummins engines damaged due to the Schaefer oil. He stopped using Schaefer oil and switched back to Mobil 1, he has a fleet of trucks. He no longer sells it too.

Paul, did you have an issue with every 2022?

I love my 2021 Ram 3500 Hemi except for the lifter tick & knock at 8k miles.

Hear it plain as day and I’m deaf. I’m currently looking for used low mileage 2500, wonder if it’s affecting the SO motor? I’ve been seeing lots of people complaining about 22 DEF usage as well, I won’t be looking at 22s anymore 👎🏻.

All this boils down to the excessive emissions requirements. Before emission got out of hand it was typical see 500k or so before any major issues outside the trans which always fails. My argument has been. The air may be cleaner out the tail pipe, but the the vehicles life is much shorter and that just moves the emissions to the manufacturing and disposal process. I think if anything it makes the air dirtier when taking all this into account. Just most of it is move over seas.

Just got my 2022 2500 out the shop yesterday for a full DEF filter with no warning. Dealer is waiting on a recall DEF sensor along with 2 other recalls but they cant get the parts. After leaving the dealer yesterday my truck did a regeneration with another regen this morning. No dealer can tell me the true process of what to do when my truck starts a regeneration; as of yesterday my truck said regeneration in progress continue driving. Now it just says regeneration in progress, not continue driving. I dont know.

I bought a used 21, 6.7 2500, drove it home it had 35k and it sat at dealer for 2 month waiting for one nox sensor... dealer couldn't get it, they wouldn't install or warranty or reimburse the mopar sensor I got off ebay...but now it's all good it seems

That does not sound good… have you gotten a ‘22 with a replaced engine back from the shop yet? Do they do a tear down and see what went wrong or just chalk it up to everything being disposable?

Was thinking of trading in my 2016 with 246,000 miles on it , deleted it at 100,000 miles and have only had to replace the actuator, and shift solenoid. Think I’ll just keep it and repair any future problems.

2019 and newer models do not take 15/40 oil “15W-40 grade oil CAN NOT be used in any 2019 model year or newer 6.7L equipped vehicles due to the new designed valve train of this engine. If this oil is used, it will cause deposits to form in the Hydraulic Valve Lash Adjusters leading to undesirable noise, and/or engine damage.”

You’re like several hi miler people I know. They get the problems way before any remedial recalls come out.

I have a 2020 cp4 replaced by dealer. Now have a P2743 check engine light not related. Transmission sensor or perhaps harness. Other than that good.

any Aisin failures from the late 2022 models....that's a problem also with snap ring failures.

Have owned Dodge/Ram in the past. Currently have a 2016 cummins. Will never buy another one. Done with Ram....done with Cummins. Glad I still have a 93 first gen.

Paul ever consider trying oil bypass filter that filters oil to 2 microns since your thinking the EGR is staying open more dumping more soot in the engine. Might help.

Hoping the 23 we just bought proves to be better… Lordy.

They're only going to get worse as the years go up. EPA doesn't want any more diesel pickups on the road and conspiring with the automakers for years now. Another example of government and big corporations against hard working people

This is also happening to the 2021s. My Ram 4500 is doing this exact thing. I have the ticking noise, low power in my opinion. Also have misfore in cylinder 6 and EGR excess flow. Have already changed the egr valve. My 2021 ram 5500 through rod at 103k miles.

so would doing a delete stop this issue>?

Had a 22 I got to 62k miles until the dpf took a dump and really needed the truck traded in that thing for a 23 f150

2014 3500 good 6.7 are good or no

2019 on they introduced hydraulic lifters.

Don't emission changes go into affect January 1. So a '22 built, lets say 10/31/21, will actually have a '21 emission certification package. Not sure if any changes were mandated for 01/01/2022. Remember this back in 2004. The pre 01/01/2004 trucks did not have a catalytic converter. Trucks built 01/01/2004 and later had a cat. The trucks with the cat converter always had a lot more soot in the oil.

Got a 22 3500 SRW w/a standard Cummins & 68RFE. Just hit 10K. No issues so far, & hauls my Lance truck camper with ease. Respectable fuel mileage too. However, I'd be curious to know if Chrysler/Stelantis resorted to using 2nd rate parts from alternate vendors due to "supply chain issues". Maybe bad quality control would explain some of the recalls, etc.

Is ram helping with this? New long block each time?

Wow. Seems like quality control on everything has taken a nose dive post covid. Ram better figure this out fast, the Cummins name is the only thing that keeps people buying HD trucks from them

You think the banks engine block heater would prevent this?

Have they fixed this for the 23’s? Or upcoming 24’s?

Curious if you have gone through your dealer and tried to create a case with Ram / Stellantis? It’s great to have the videos here to warn your fellow consumers, but ultimately any company that has any level of product support should be interested in what you are experiencing

Thanks

Looks like the intake tube is loose to the breather box

I have a flawless 2018. Don't want a 19, 20 (cp4) not sure about 21's and now no 2022. What the heck is going on with RAM? Thank you sir.

I have a 22 and I only have 24k on it and all ready I have an oil leak that I have to take to the dealer next week, and so many recall. I might be trading in my 3500, so what's okay, GMC, Ford?

My 2022 was regening every 200 miles. Egr cooler failed and destroyed the dpf. All was replaced. Still regenning every 200 miles. Had a sub 40 degree cold start the other day and it was knocking just like your video. I only have 30k on the truck. I dumped it last week. I’m not dealing with this crap.

DOES DEALER OR WARRANTY COVER A LOANER TRUCK FOR YOU WHEN THE TRUCK IS AT THE SHOP!?

I have heard that a little nut on the back side of the cold-start heating grid in the intake can come loose and fall into the #6 cylinder, BANKS sells their RAM AIR HORN that also replaces this part and prevents it. Seems to be a big issue? I wonder if this is the problem? For the DPF issue, I was told to only use the more expensive Platinum?
