Anothre EGR problem 1500 miles after turbo replacement
Truck is a 2008 RAM 2500 with 6.7 L diesel, auto trans.
At 3524 miles it threw a P2662 code. The result was that the turbo was replaced. Full thread on this group here.
So now at 5294 miles (only 1770 miles later) I get a P0402 code which I decipher as "EGR: excessive flow detected". Meaning more EGR problems.
I was really hoping for a couple hundred thousand trouble free miles out of this engine. Not a visit to the dealer ever two or three thousand miles for turbo cleaning.
Since the last visit I have tried to use the truck as much as possible for trips, have been using the exhaust brake, and minimizing idle time - a bit of turbo cool down if coming off the highway, but not excessive idle. I'll make another dealer visit and see what's next. So far I'm not a big fan of this ERG system.
