Today I share my journey troubleshooting the OBD II error code P2459 on my 2021 RAM 3500 with the HO Cummins 6.7 diesel. Error code P2459 is a diesel particulate regeneration frequency error. Basically the code means the regeneration process hasn't been completed within the desired frequency, over a set amount of time (or number of miles).
I think I solved it though, so I'll share what I believe is the culprit and how I was able to fix it.

After a hard pull, do not shutdown the engine until you have idled for about 3 minutes. Set the parking brake, hit the cruise control button and then the set button. The engine will increase the rpms to 1000 . Slow idle will load up the engine, washing the cylinder walls with fuel. Not cooling down the turbo will fry the oil in the turbo and fry the seals in the turbo causing eventual failure of the turbo?. 40 years of driving big rig.

@electrified7309 2 месяца назад

That's good to know, I have had a few times pulling my rv up and down the hills of Tennessee and when I was done I let it idle for about 5 minutes and the temperature went up, so I thought I was doing it wrong. Next time I will let it idle at 1000 rpm. Thanks again.

Please keep in mind that those big trucks that are idling, are mostly not owners of those rigs. They don’t care about the repairs. As a driver for 30 years, your tips are right in line. Well said.

Cummins does recommend a diesel additive, Power Service diesel clean. My truck has never gone 1 mile without additives. I was doing UBER with my 2015 Ram 2500 mega cab (yes Uber) and I picked up a Cummins engineer and he told me to always use Stanadyne Performance Formula, he acknowledged that Cummins recommended (which he said is fine) another brand but said Stanadyne was better. He also told me to get a bypass oil filter. I now have a 2020 Ram 3500 Dually. The increase in fuel economy makes the additive free, I buy in bulk and with fuel prices over $4.

I have a 2021 Limited 3500 HO Mega Cab and I have put HotShot secrets EDT since the 2nd fill up of the truck. If I don't have the EDT with me, our local Kum n GO fuel station has extreme diesel with all the additives in the fuel. It definitely cost more but well worth it. I have 30k miles on the truck and I've never had an error code, I never let the truck idle for long periods of time, ever. Thanks for the video.

I started running additives after the first time my truck through a code. I started erasing the codes. But they kept coming back until at 92,000 ish, I cleaned my EGR sensor and cooler. Haven't seen it since. I'm at 98,000 + now. I full time RV so I pull my 5th wheel all of the time and I also use it as a daily driver. Just not that often. Great video, thanks.

@danielwagoner 9 месяцев назад

Good to know. I’m a new diesel owner and started using hot shots after reading lots of info in owners groups. I’m in the same boat as you with driving daily short trips and only towing the fifth wheel any one a month. Will be towing it for the first time this weekend and I’m really anxious to see the difference over my single rear wheel gas truck that I was using

@AdventureRocks 9 месяцев назад

So far I'm in the clear between adjusting my habits and using the hot shot stuff. Always a learning experience that's for sure. Really it's a minor nuisance in the end to get such a solid towing experience.

@21psd 7 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, if your daily driving doesn't allow your engine to get up to normal operating temp, it will not initiate the required regens. So, whether you like to or not, you do need to take frequent "joyrides" in order for the DPF to regen. Better yet, use a different vehicle (gasser) for short trips. Unless I'm driving across town, I leave my truck at home and drive our Jeep instead. And as you stated, excessive idling will compound the problem. My 21 Powerstroke is no different in that respect, I monitor my DPF percentage and once it reaches 100%, it will attempt to regen providing my engine and exhaust temps are right. This is the time I'll put some music on and take a little cruise to allow it to clean. As for the Hotshots EDT, I also use it religiously on every fillup mainly because of my CP4. But it alone doesn't solve your regen issues. Our diesels are happiest when we're working them hard while towing, etc.

@jumpoffjoe6572 9 месяцев назад

I Have a '23 3500 Maga cab with the HO 6.7 that I use for towing my 5th wheel also, and only have an 18 mile commute. I have since new, used 8oz of Cummins Approved Power Service Diesel Additive with Cetane Boost with every 30 gallon fill up. I own 5 Kenworth trucks as well and use the same product in those. Never a DPF issue in any of the trucks, even at 5 years old now.

@carlp5885 9 месяцев назад

It's not about 'how often'...it's what 'type'. Hills? Long distance trips? You said it yourself, more pleasurable and safer with 17k, yes. The 6.4 gas dually is a dog uphill with 6 - 10 mpg.. tops. You made the right choice. Beautiful truck! Great content!

Just to add. Remove the DEF injector and inspect for crystals blocking the screen. Mine was completely blocked by crystals resulting in DPF full, reduced power, see dealer. I knew what happened, the question was why? Removed crystals with a small flat screwdriver exposing the injector screen. This allowed the DEF fluid to do its job. End of problem.

Howes seems to work well, especially when seasonal fuel is blended vs straight #1 or #2. Found better odds of finding non-blended fuel when filling at truck (pumps) in states where blended is available. Just replaced the fuel filter and water separator which showed discoloration vs previous changes where I fueled exclusively in a non-blended State more often. Also found my trucks run better, longer and more efficiently without the emissions… night and day difference, especially daily driving.

I have a 2019 RAM Crew Cab LB HO Max. tow When towing, I use high idle if we are stopping for less than 10 minutes. I have switched between EDT and non, and I do see a difference, not in regards to maintenance but in regards to that 1 mpg. In my 100k miles I have never seen a P2459, and have only had one particulate sensor fail. for its 100k mile celebration it got the full hotshots secret treatment, with stiction eliminator in the oil, extreme diesel, and running 3oz EDT per tank rather than the 2oz for this oil interval. My truck only tows our fifth wheel, which is a mid profile 33ft at only 9k dry 11k loaded, But at the time I could not pass up the deal to get my truck, it was not selling due to RWD only so got a great price.

@bjnorris2780 4 месяца назад

You’re getting better fuel mpg.because it’s not going into regen as often. When the truck does a regen it uses more fuel. Went through the same thing with my 2022. Fuel additives help with the situation and lessen the regens but if you Replace the maf sensor you wont need the fuel additives as frequently Granted I do still run fuel additives every 4th fill up. I can now go between 700 to 900 miles between regens if I drive empty daily around a 30 minute trip. If I’m hooked up to a trailer and towing I only see a regen when the computer commands the truck do one at every 24 hrs. The maf sensor in my truck was reading the wrong air temp and causing the truck to slightly over fuel itself thus making it plug the dpf sooner. And the fuel additives kinda helped mask the issue by making the fuel burn cleaner. Up until I replaced the maf sensor my truck never made it past 275 miles between regens. The error code p2459 is set to come on if the truck goes into regen 3 times back to back and the miles between each one of those regens are 150 miles or less

My 2022 with 28,000 miles and I got same thing going on, but I just got message sent for two recalls with one being the Particulate Matter Sensor. I had frequent regeneration going on driving 50 min each way on highway and would not complete and when completing it's regen it would regen again when getting on highway. I even did a forced regen before changing my oil as I always do. I do have a scan tool with access to gateway to force regen my truck. I also been running Hot Shot Extreme LX4 once a month on fill ups and really can't tell anything different. in performance or mileage improvement. Only idle time I do is done few minutes before shutting off so oil in turbo can cool off a bit.

@Leeryannavy 6 месяцев назад

Given your opinion at the end of the video about gas versus diesel, I just bought a new fifth wheel that is 16,000 pounds when it’s fully loaded or the GVWR. We only plan on traveling with it 2 to 3 times a year and the rest of the time it will be parked. Do you think a diesel Dooley is absolutely necessary?

@AdventureRocks 6 месяцев назад

Do you happen to know the pin-weight on the fifth wheel either actual (from CAT scale) or manufacturer claimed pin-weight? If under 3K total when loaded/optioned fully, you probably can get away with single rear wheel (SRW) truck that has a payload/door sticker 3.7K min or higher. Some fifth wheel models/floorplans have unusually high pin-weights when loaded. For example my Jayco Pinnacle 37MDQS had an advertised pin-weight of about 3,200 lbs dry from Jayco. But, when optioned and fully loaded my actual pin-weight was 4,400 lbs and still within GVWR overall. So I absolutely needed a dually in my case due to the sheer pin-weight on the fifth wheel, though an SRW could pull it based on tow rating. Sometimes the advertised pin-weight on fifth wheels can go up 20-40% once optioned and loaded given the see-saw like configuration with a fifth wheel and truck. If you're not sure on loaded pin-weight for your specific model, sometimes groups on Facebook have fellow owners that share their sample weigh-ins from CAT scales to give you an idea. I'd say if you're anywhere close to 3K lbs pin-weight fully loaded/optioned you'll probably need a dually based on payload by the time you factor in hitch + passengers + tool box, etc. (~600-700 lbs allowance approximately). But, all that being said, if you're only towing short distances a few times a year and remaining stationary, that certainly can impact one's purchase decision ultimately. Hope this helps.

All the new diesel trucks do a passive regen cycle about every 800 miles for about 15 mins. Putting an Edge CTS monitor will show you when it’s doing this so you don’t shut your truck off mid cycle and start plugging the DPF!

@AdventureRocks 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for the tip!

@Mill72 6 месяцев назад

Misinformation…. Passive regens are when you have the temps in the exhaust system hot enough to clear the dpf without notice. Active regens are every 24hr running time regardless of soot load in the DPF or when you have enough back pressure difference with soot load. Like your short trips, etc will trigger a active regen. It takes about 20 miles to clear out. You have a DPF guage on your +19 trucks. It will dispaly when in active regen. You can shut the truck off without any issues. It will pick back up when the truck gets to operating temps to complete. Additive is not needed.

@@anthonyp6124 thank you. Yes, indeed, I sold it as we downsized significantly on the RV and no longer needed the dually. Here's my new ride: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t7rDx0RlJ1M.html

@@AdventureRocks great choice. That’s where I was leaning. I had a 2020 Ram 2500 6.4 pulling a 11k 36’ 5ver. Wasn’t happy pulling in hills and mpg/ fuel range was terrible. Went to a 2021 Ram 3500 LB diesel and absolutely loved it. Air suspension in the rear and 50 gal tank. Didnt know the 5ver Was there. Joy to drive but unfortunately sold everything to move to FL. Now wanting to get back into Rving and not wanting to deal with diesel maintenance and fuel costs I feel the 3/4 ton gasser is the best overall with a taller rear gear for a DD and occasional towing. The 3.73 in the Ram 6.4 was a dog maybe if I had the 4.10 it would have been ok. Good luck with your new ride.

@@anthonyp6124 I hear you, a lot in common. I am really impressed with the GM L8T with 10-sp so far. I'll be releasing a 1st tow video in about 10 days. I'm not towing super heavy, just in the 5-6K range with a travel trailer, but RPMs are extremely low while towing...very similar to diesel surprisingly. Just a night and day difference compared to the last gasser I had, a 2015 5.7 Hemi 1/2 ton.

I have come to the conclusion these Cummins are just lemons. I have a 22 Cummins and I work it hard on the farm and also do plenty of short trips and I have nothing but issues...Its insane for the amount of money we spend these things should never have issues we need to pay out of pocket for. Gunna have to delete it it will cost me so much less than what I pay now every year in factory repairs.

I hear you. The DPF is frustrating for sure. I got tired of it to the extent I went back to a gasser.

Idling is way worse than your 30 minute commute, assuming your commute is at highway speeds. I have a similar commute and have had zero issues. My 23 2500 has only actively regen'd on the 24 engine hour marks. That's 14K miles in. But I very rarely idle the truck (< 15% idle time). Also have never used additives in any of my trucks, except the rare occurrence of a winter trip from the southeast to the northeast during a time where we may not have switched over to winter blend yet down south. Agree with the other comments. If your 30 minute commute is at low speed, watch your DPF EVIC gauge, and don't shutdown during an active regen

Great points. Thank you for sharing.

A cheap Bosch OBD 1000 will scan and clear the P2459 code. Best of luck anyone who’s got the frequent regen issue.

My 2018 Cummins 2500 is turning into a nightmare after the smog recall. Ram pretty much disabled my emmissions system. It now will not pass smog. 55,xxx miles on a bone stock unmolested well maintained truck!!!! Never again Ram.

Sorry to hear. That's frustrating for sure.

Idling a modern diesel engines is killing the engine, prior to all the emission crap yes you could idle the engine without any issues. I have a 2017 Ram 2500 Megacab with the Cummins and I use Howes lube Diesel treat and Howes Lube Diesel Defender fuel additive

Did that fix it?

@AdventureRocks 5 месяцев назад

Yes, I think for me it was a combination of excessive idling and shorter hauls. Once I quit idling, combined with the Hotshot EDT, the code never came back. I also heard that RAM/Cummins may update the software to re-callibrate what throws the error code, so I think in reality it was being overly sensitive in some ways, but also I wasn't doing any favors with the shorter hauls and idling.

Question: is it oaky to put EDT NEW truck?

@AdventureRocks 7 месяцев назад

That's a good question. I am not sure, but I wonder if the manufacturer or community could weigh in for you. I only started using at about 20,000 mi on mine.
