New Engines don’t like to be tuned!

Probably a fuel leak.

That’s the first thing I thought too. In 2006 I bought a brand new dodge diesel 2500 4x4, on the way home I was in bad stop and go traffic, lady honked at me and said you’re leaking something and I said yeah, it’s from the air conditioner, finally I thought to myself I better pull over and sure enough it was pouring out diesel fluid from a loose fuel line. Tow truck showed up and after a couple hours at the dealership I was off.
I highly doubt that was the case here, if it was the fuel line then it was tampered with, mods!

We had two 05 Ram diesels have the over fuel problem. One on the freeway at night. It went boom. The second about the same time in town it lived. Bad injectors. Big problem for awhile. Both trucks had banks equipment. We never bothered with the dealer. Fixed them in house.

Yeah, I’ve never seen a new “stock” truck just go up in flames like that either. I’d also like to say that racial profiling had nothing to do with it either [emoji6], being a young white country boy wearing a performance shirt standing approx 300’ ft away from his truck while using his cell phone video taping the incident had nothing to do with it either lol.

This to me is all install error or parts failure and nothing to do with actual tuning.

People can do what they want with their vehicles and there is always that risk of something going wrong. If I want to add more power I am going to add more power because it's what I want to do.

And what year is your truck?

2016.

But that really doesn't matter. If I owned a 2019+ and I had the money/means to do such mods I would still do them.

Though I’d agree we should be able to do what we want, you don’t have a new truck and if you did I highly doubt you could without damaging something. I love my lifted 18, if I wanted even more power I’d be in a Diesel (highly doubtful) or performance truck like Ford Raptor (highly likely) leaving out trying to crack the uncrackable lol.

I honestly see no huge difference between the K2XX and the T1XX trucks when it comes to mods. They both use the same engines and transmissions (besides the 10 speed), so doing a camshaft swap or headers or supercharger/turbo can all be done with the same success. There is just more of a limit on the new body style when it comes to adding power.

If I really really wanted more power and a fun truck I wouldn't do it on a newer one, I would be in a NBS trucks from 99-07 because making 500-700hp is easy as pie with a turbo setup and the beefy 4L80e transmission swap. I know the in's and out's with HP Tuners so it would be easy for me or I'd go straight standalone with a Holley Terminator controller.
