Summary
Fuel Gelling in Cold Ambient Temperatures This bulletin involves reconfiguring the Body Control Module (BCM). Some customers may experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) due to fuel related Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and/or may have a hard or no start condition due to fuel gelling in cold ambient temperatures (20°F or -7°C) or below. DTC?s, such as P0087, P0191 or P026B (or other DTC?s) may have been set. Ram Trucks equipped with a 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel included on the RRT VIN list exhibiting the above concerns have a condition that will cause the frame mounted fuel filter heater not to function. The condition is due to a configuration setting in the Body Control Module (BCM). NOTE: The engine mounted fuel filter heater is operating properly.
