Hey everyone, so a day or two ago, my CEL gave me these codes: P003A, P226C, and P2262.
The truck has lost power and will only boost up to about 11-12 PSI.
It also seems like my EB is not working.
I HotShot OTR, so the truck is always under a load. I run a 53' step deck with my 2022 Ram 5500.
This is the first time I've gotten these codes.
The truck now has 204,545 miles on it.
I want to try to diagnose the issue myself before spending a lot of money having the dealership look at it for me.
I only go there because I trust one of the master techs to be honest with me.
He's helped me walk through repairing other things myself when I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere on the side of the interstate.
He thinks I need a new turbo, even if it is just the actuator.
He says I've gotten an entire life span out of the turbo and should replace the whole thing.
What are your thoughts on his suggestion?
I'm trying to return to the West Coast, as I was in South Carolina.
I am loaded, but it's a light load and not a wind sail, causing the truck to work extra hard. But it's been slow due to barely any boost.
I've been easy on it, so I don't get stuck somewhere.
What are some things I can try myself to diagnose it?
I wanted to stop by Harbor Freight and see if they have a Turbo Simulator Regulator and a new compressor, as mine recently retired.
I can check for leaks that way, but based on the codes, I think it's the actuator or possibly soot/carbon buildup.
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thank you.
