6.7L Cummins Forum

Help, My check engine light came on. I turned the key off/on 3 times and i got this code P2262. I have about 19,000 miles and it is a 07 2500 with the 6.7 mega cap and 4x4. It only have a K&N filter in it everything else is stock .

No problem, first are you up to date on all your flashes and the G30 recall? Cummins 6.7L G30 Recall

If so read this and you'll see it happens but it's how you drive the truck and not your beloved truck itself.

What Squid said
Search this site and you'll see how to drive this beast...
Minimize Idle time
Drive with the EB on
Choose grears that keep the rpms higher
Don't lug the engine
Do some WOT from time to time to flex the vanes in the turbo
Most likely, you still have plenty of boost...it's just the senor with soot on it.
Don't use additives and try to get fuel around 47 cetane

Guess what the check engine light was off this morning. I use the engine brake all the way to work this morning. Will see on the way back home. 2 more week and will start using this beast the way is build for. Camping season. Do i need a new turbo? Should i take it to the dealer anyway? Last oil change they told me i have all the upgrades and recalls done on my truck. I still love this truck.

I doubt that you need a new turbo...Get yourself a EGT and Boost gauge. You'll see how much boost you have on a daily basis and can tell how long you need to let it cool before shutting off the engine...A few WOT's from time to time certainly help

Do you recomend any? What do do you have?

Naw you don't need a new Turbo. You just need to create boost and when not towing the only way to do that is to jump on her. I have this long on ramp I get on every day and I put the pedal to the floor and create up to 30 PSI of Boost. This moves that sliding vane and keeps her clean, not to mention being a heck of a lot of fun, LOL.

I now have 51,000 miles on my truck since I first saw the 2262 code and she's only come back once and that was when I was working 14 hour days and forgot.

Here's the info on what the dealership will do if you take it to them Cummins 6.7L Turbocharger Cleaning

And here's how the Turbo works and why a cleanng or replacement of the Turbo without a change in how we drive the truck when not loaded won't keep the code at bay.

As for how to keep the Turbo and DPF clean, I agree with Vis-a'-vis and Squid. I have an '07 with 45,000 kms on the clock. It is my daily driver. I never let it shift into 5th and 6th in town and always run with the EB on. I have three Di Pricol gauges (trans temp, boost and EGT) mounted on the pillar. I haven't had time to drill the exhaust manifold for the EGT probe but I will before trailer season. I have had no issues to date. I love the truck!!!
