Known Issues

Diesel Injectors:

Potential for injector failure on early 5.9L Common Rails, though 2006 models saw improvements. 6.7L also had some initial injector concerns.

Rear Main Seal Leaks:

Can occur on high-mileage Cummins engines.

Dpf Issues 6.7L:

The 6.7L Cummins introduced a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), which can require regeneration and may experience clogging or failure if not maintained properly.

Transmission Bottleneck:

The 48RE automatic transmission (if equipped, less common in 3500 than 2500) can be a weak point under extreme towing conditions compared to the G56 manual or 545RFE.
