2016 Ram Ram 5500 Chassis Cab
Reliability tier: verified - see /disclosure/
Engine: 6.7L ISB (Cummins, 6.7L)
SCR/DEF era: DEF dosing + SCR added at MY2013; chassis-cab calibration - injector/hardware service PNs differ from the pickups
Applicable failure modes (14)
- CCV breather filter clogging
- DEF / SCR system failures (2013-2018)
- DPF clogging / regeneration problems
- EGR cooler failure
- EGR valve sooting / failure
- Exhaust manifold cracking
- Fan clutch failure (overheat while towing)
- Lift pump / fuel delivery weakness
- Grid heater 'killer bolt' ingestion
- Head gasket failure (tuned / overheated trucks)
- Injector 'chuffing' / seal blow-by
- Fuel dilution of engine oil (failed regens)
- Holset VGT turbo sticking / actuator failure
- Water pump failure

Platform recipes (4)
- EGR system repair for a 6.7 Cummins with a failed valve and/or cooler (modes fm-c67-egr-valve / fm-c67-egr-cooler: soot-clogged valve, coolant-loss cooler)
- Fuel-supply health for a 6.7 Cummins on the CP3 common-rail (mode fm-c67-fuel-delivery): filter discipline, a healthy lift pump and a fresh FCA are what keep a $3-4k injection system alive
- Grid heater bolt fix for a 6.7 Cummins (mode fm-c67-grid-heater-bolt): the intake-grid heater fasteners corrode/shear in the aluminum manifold, causing cold-start smoke, hard starts and an air leak
- VGT turbo replacement for a 6.7 Cummins with sticking/failing variable-geometry turbo (mode fm-c67-vgt-turbo: VGT stick from soot, unison-ring wear, actuator faults)
