Long story short I'm hoping this is indeed why I and others have been getting the odd behavior of the overhead status (EVIC) readings. I guess the dealer did not realize (if this is the case) that whenever they do a flash for the engine, they should also do the body control computer.
Of course I just had this done - so I'm only guessing at this point that the problem is solved. I'll keep y'all posted.
On a side note - I asked him how many P2262 codes he had dealt with (he knew the code immediately). Claims there have been "some" and again told me to use the exhaust brake all the time (which I love to do anyway) and also said he is putting together a new service package that includes cleaning the turbo with the drill/tap/solution we all know about. Interesting to me - it sounds like a good plan, but it might also be a sneaky way for dodge to get the less informed to foot the bill for the soot accumulation problem (which luckily I have not had to date - knock on wood).

7.5 6.7 27,700 as of today. Had 3 instances of engine light which disappeared one day later each time. Unit not running well in the morning...like it is choking or something. Pulled to a stop, restart engine and things ok. Took to dealer today, unit needs new Turbo and new DPF, they had to order it and will take truck back there on Monday.
