Few things going on here...2007 Ram CTD 6.7, 3500.91,000 miles, and just over 5 years old.Consistently serviced, tech even said its the cleanest engine he has seen yet to date. Looked brand new under the valve cover. Of course, I maintain it properly!!!! 1. Immediately after I got a full tank of diesel from Safeway, within 1.2 miles, my trucks dash lit up like a Xmas tree, and threw these codes at me. 2. I noticed that during the fill the diesel was far more foamy than what I normally see from ULSD.3. I used the diagnosis on this site for injector #5, and found that it was fluctuating from .9 to 1.2 ohms, and the rest of them were 1.0 ohms flat. 4. I checked (as much as I could) the valve cover gasket, it looked OK. 5. Reassembled and test started it, ran OK for about 5 seconds, then back to rough Idle, with codes. Finally had it towed to dealer. 1. They say they tested fuel at the injection pump for contamination, I personally don't think that was the right place and the tank should have been drained, but were too lazy to do deal with a full 35 gallons. They "say" it looks OK, but since that's is after the filter, of course it may be OK. We need to see what is BEFORE the filter, and from the bottom of the tank. I'd like to prove them wrong here. 2. They say my valve cover gasket is shorting out at the pass thru to ground, and it fried my ECM. I believe them that the gasket may have gone to hell, but not likely taking out the ECM. After searching I found that this was a common problem, and not one single person said their ECM got fried. That to me is a design error, and if Dodge has a test for it (and it looks like they do) they know about this problem.. .right now Dodge is not admitting they know of this... as they do with everything, until significant pressure is put on them to admit their is a problem. 3. I would think that as expensive these ECMS are and how advanced they are, a protection circuit on a high voltage output to injectors would exist, and if there is a problem, it shuts down that circuit. Ok, so what I asking here is for help on this. A. Proper fuel sample process to get from bottom of tank. B. Could this gasket that is a known issue that shorts out take out and ECM. C. Could bad fuel take out a injector. D. Is .9 to 1.2 odd readings, and is 1.0 a high reading for the others? Just looking for ammo to fire back at Dodge on this....
