Problem overview

Some Ram 2500 owners report experiencing recurring P244A issues, particularly needing DPF replacement after just 10,000 miles. These problems may arise from a faulty differential pressure sensor that leads to incorrect pressure readings, or from damage and clogging in the DPF sensor or filter. Owners have noted the importance of using a diagnostic tool to confirm the P244A code and identify the specific cause, which may include inspecting the DPF sensor, checking for exhaust leaks, and testing the turbocharger for proper function. Cleaning or replacing a clogged or damaged DPF is often essential, and ensuring the differential pressure sensor is functioning correctly is crucial. Many owners find it advisable to seek professional assistance from qualified mechanics or dealerships experienced in DPF-related issues to accurately diagnose and repair the problem, thereby preventing further recurrence and ensuring the DPF replacement lasts longer.
