RAM SERVICE DEF SYSTEM SEE DEALER MANUAL
Straight out of the Diesel Supplement Manual for my 2018. Is there a chance sure, is it minimal I beleive so. I have very little worries about emissions I believe the newer than 16 ram trucks have gotten most of the bugs worked out. 8 out of 10 times we drove anywhere were towing or hauling. We drove anywhere from Montana to southern California. Consistently towed 5 to 12k or an inbed camper. Now I had a 17 3500 srw 47k miles not one single issue with the def system or anything. This situation will give you 500 to 200 miles depending before that kicks in. Short answer is if the truck runs out of def, or there is a malfunction yes it will trigger limp mode. I'm personally hooked on 20 for the reasons you have listed with Limp mode. I have held back for fear of having the thing give up somewhere along the way due to the complexities of the emissions stuff. Especially the new cummins with the hydraulic valves. I really want to try one of these trucks. If thats the same with the Ram pickups I would worry as there are several times when I am more than 200 miles from a dealer if something like that went wrong. The other day, a DEF sensor went out and it gave him 200 miles before it was going to go into limp. My Dad is driving a 2014 Peterbilt and he has had nothing but trouble with the electrical systems on his big cummins. I am curious about what happens on the new trucks if there is a fault in the system. I am grossing out about 18K towing with my half ton and that makes for 15 hours of intense driving. I have now spent thousands of miles daydreaming about a new diesel and how that would make the trips so much more enjoyable. So, I have 3 round trips completed moving to Utah.
