On the last trip to Gonzaga the Ram 2500 did it again. Left Vista and 10 miles later check engine light went on. All temps were good, sh-t not again. fraid it was the DEF system I left my truck at Bob's house and drove down with him. After trip on Monday am I took it to the dealer at 7am. Explained problem and let them know it was the SECOND time. I sat in their lounge until 11 am when the service writer came and gave me the news. It appeard the Catalitic Converter was the problem, tey had one in stock but not all the gaskets. Luckly another dealership had the gaskets. I was told it would be done by 5pm. Back to the lounge again. 3:30 the service manager returns to tell me it was done. The truck had been washed and was ready. Nice service, time will tell if they got it right, but atleast for now everything is working..........to be continued.

I have my diesel straight piped. No cat, no muffler, and no working EGR system. still pass smog everytime. Have a device that tunes the truck and turns off check engine light for emission causes and my cat looks like its there under the truck, just hollow inside
