About To Recycle The Truck - 2016 RAM 5500

**Rocktoy** · 10-24-2022

So I purchased a 2016 RAM 5500 a couple of years back, a former plumbing truck with a cube on it.

A couple of months after, I got the code for the active air.

I had it scanned, and it showed a short to ground and had it inspected and the wiring to find nothing.

I swapped it out with my brother's airbox in his 4500 and got the same code.

Shortly after, I got the dreaded lightning bolt which doesn't affect driving until it starts flashing.

I took the truck to Plateau Diesel for $1000 later, and with the gas, the pedal light came back on in 10 min.

I took it back, and they said they were out of ideas.

"Note to self" never go there again.

So I went for the C&C delete.

It runs better unless the lightning bolt flashes.

Then a few months back, it felt like I dropped a cylinder.

Lots of white smoke and I parked the truck for a few months and then replaced the injectors.

No change except that I have minimal throttle and a tiny boost.

I love the truck minus the trans-shifting, but I'm done with it.

My 18 3500 never had any of this crap.

I'm dropping it at a local guys' shop today that does only RAM in hopes that I can get it running again.

Here's a list of the items Ive done to try and combat this thing.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

5' TBE
New map sensor from Cummins
EFI Live
EGR gone
Throttle valve gone
Exhaust backpressure sensor and cleaned tube
All new injectors and tubes
New valve cover gasket
New crankcase breather filter
New fuel filters
New CP33 high-pressure regulator

C&C trucks can't handle any power to them other than a delete.

What power are you running?

God bless,

First off, welcome!

Glad to have you here.

As stated above, C&C engines can’t handle additional power compared to a regular pickup.

What HP levels are you running?

2016 Ram Laramie 3500, G56, 6.7, CC, 4x4
