2015 Ram 6.7 Cummins turbo

[bendy]

I ordered one but hasn’t shown up yet. If it turns out to be the turbo I’ll just swap the turbo with the new actuator.

What I’m feeling with the turbo vanes and the mileage on the truck I doubt it’s the turbo. I only use the truck for pulling it’s not a daily driver…so it can sit.

I hope it works for you.

Well 1000km later and so far the city diesel actuator did the trick. It’s quite a nice piece.

That's good news, hopefully it continues to work, you'll know within a few months.

I just got this letter today, they extend the warranty for the turbo actuator to 240k and 15 years.

efff my luck…didn’t matter anyway cause the dealer was on back order for them.

Try sending them the bill.

If anyone would like to PM or text me the last 8 digits of their VIN, I can tell you if the X99 warranty has been attached to your VIP report. I know all the 2015's I've checked have the extended warranty. My 2016 does not. Unfortunately... FCA Canada isn't even going to give you a gift certificate to reimburse you.

 

[Turblue]

Well I got the letter today… so I emailed them to see about reimbursement. I will post up the reply.

I wonder why they only picked 2015 when all 2013+ have the issue? My 2014 no recall for it, turbo just replaced recently.

Maybe somebody with a 2015 filed a lawsuit?

Yup, they most likely pulled out in front of someone and when they depressed the accelerator… well you know the rest.

I ended up calling them and they won’t do anything to help cover parts. Basically said I would have to wait till the back ordered part arrives. Which they are telling me is still in back order.

Of course they will try to get out of it anyway you can. Got nothing to lose pushing it further. Or at the very least even if you've replaced it tell them you want the part, you could sell it and recoup some money at least. Think of it this way, if 10,000 owners all filed lawsuits against them for it, even at a few grand a pop, think of the legal fees alone to defend that. They get away with it because they know most people will never bother. I am going to look into the recall and consider it, I just bought a 14 from my mom who just replaced the turbo a few months ago at $4k. It's absolute garbage how bad these actuators are, I bet less then 10% of trucks hit 200k before they fail.
