Yep, that's sounds like the cheapest solution to me also. I still wonder though if Dodge's just smoke more or if there truly is an issue with unburned fuel. If there is then we're not going to get the gas mileage we so deperately need. I'm thinking about trying the dealer, heck it's only got 4000 miles.Worst case he could just say that's the way it's suppose to be. I heard another new dodge diesel the other day when we stopped in a gas/quick stop. the engine was so quite and the exhaust had a completely different sound to it. I'll bet he put aftermarket stuff on it, cause it even sounded different when he put the pedal to the metal leaving the gas station, and no soot came out of the exhaust at all !!!!
