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

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

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

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.

So glad I ran into this video. Was planning on picking up a 2022 myself. Not a chance now. Thanks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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👍

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.”

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.

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

The after treatment codes are a result of the internal engine failure. When whatever is failing in the valvetrain gets bad enough to start affecting combustion efficiency the engine begins producing excess soot. The after treatment system can only process so much soot before it becomes a problem that begins overloading the DPF and then you start seeing the faults and possibly being asked to run a parked regen. This seems to be an oiling issue. You should post the repair description from the other trucks you have that failed and show us the parts list that were replaced. Hope they get this figured out, there's not a good option for a diesel pickup if you can't rely on Cummins anymore

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Engine sounds like is misfiring. Maybe just a bad injectors.

so would doing a delete stop this issue>?

Are these problems caused by the emissions on the engine?

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

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

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?

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.

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.

I have 9 of those 22s and not one has an issue I use mobile one oil all around 70-150k miles

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 😊

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

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

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.

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.

8,000 or 10,000 miles between oil changes is Babying the truck ? 5,000 miles is over my change interval on Full Synthetic & I do my own but its my personal vehicle.

How long can you drag something out. Just get to the point

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

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.

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

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.

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.

I have a 2014 ram 3500 6.7 dually and do hotshot class A. Just about every hotshot I talk to and the TV guys, they idle all night. I can guarantee you guys are idling. This is the reason why your emissions and your truck is crap. I have a small Honda generator with a small space heater that gives me heat in the winter and ac in the summer. I have never idled and have 600k and still going strong with no filter cleaning of any type on the dpf system.

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.

I have a 19 with 111,000 and EGR cooler failed and motor is toast. Warranty claim denied. Any suggestions??

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.

My '21 is having this same problem. Same sound. Same code. Built in 2-21. Does anybody have advice on how I should go about this? Get rid of truck? Work with dealer? 53k miles.

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

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?

So doesn’t the 19-23 have the same engine besides the CP4?

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.

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 5 22s 3 high out puts and 2 standards and not a single issue at all. I have a hot shot business and I run the piss out of my trucks. I also run nothing but amsoil products. All oils and fluids. It's a little bit more but you pay for what you get.

I have several trucks also. Got a 22 ho in September. It is not the same truck at all. Regents almost non stop. Excessive fuel and def consumption. Ram says within spec. No help there

Is Cummins standing behind these and repairing them

I won't buy a 22 of any make or model of car, boat, RV etc. I can tell you how much my breakfast biscuits have shrunk since covid but I can't tell you what's shrunk or changed under the hood.

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

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.

Ive just purchased a new 22 3500 now im worried. What can i do to prevent it from happening

People say there is a procedure, it starts with “D” . Is this option considered?

Newer vehicles are just made to fail. And I’m pritty sure it’s not limited to Ram. Quality control has gone out the window since Covid

You have 1830 idling hours and 1871 driving hours on that truck. That is a lot of idling hours! Lot of idling hours means lot of sot and lot of regenerations of the DPF. As Ram inject the fuel for regeneration in the engine itself you will have fuel diluting of the engine oil. The result is loss of lubricity of the engine oil. On the 22 there is a sensor missing on the DPF. Ram have set the truck to regenerate every 24 hour. (Independent of how many passive regenerations you get when towing. You have about 150 extra active regenerations due to the 24 hour clock. Do not think you had that on the earlier 5th gen. Good Luck…

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?

Sounds like a 3500 HO issue. No issues with my 22 2500.

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#

is this issue specific to the HO? I have a 2021 are you relatively certain I won't run into this?

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

Do you think that the HO Cummins might be cured with an emissions delete kit Sir? I'd love to know what you found out with this issue on your '22's! Thanks!

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?

2014 3500 good 6.7 are good or no

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

I got a video up, my 2020 is doing that same thing with only 37,000

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

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

EPA shouldn’t be designing vehicles, the WHOLE problem is those requirements, which are stupid and waste fuel. Diesel are generally very clean runners

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

I have a 19 ho with aisin and it runs good. I want to know tue defected ones are bieng made from. Factoyr wise. Thats where the problems are coming from. Mine was made in mexico says on the door. Runs strong. So check yalls manufacture location. That could be the issue

I have a theory. I think the push rods are too long. The cam wiping out with the lifters going as well would happen on 6.0s after the heads were decked. The head would be shaved a few thou and then the pushrod is reletively longer. To fix it the new part from ford on the push rods is shorter by a few thou to compensate for the cams and lifters wiping out. I doubt it’s an oil issues.

Banks idash get it asap.

The 2022 Cummins managed to out do the 6.4 powerstroke. At least the 6.4 could make it to the 200000 mark 😉

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!!!

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

How 19-21 is good if CP4 fails?

For as much they charge for these things they should run without fail for 500,000!
