hey everyone, took the truck in for an oil change a few days ago and they did a tsb 18 046 11 ( I cant find it anywhere but they said it is for engine performance )I could tell right away it was different (felt like it had a little more power and shifted different).Well today I took it on the highway and kept it between 70 -73 I averaged 18.3 mpg (I was getting about 14 before).I reset it when I got off the hwy and did some mixed. easy- hard driving and averaged 13.2 (before i was getting 11s , Dont know what they did but it works for me.....If anyone is interested ask your dealer if this is avail for your truck :)

My post should have read --

I've accessed AllProDataonline and there is NO Technical Service Bulletin with that code.

Actually spoke with the service manager at my dealership [good family friend] this past Thursday and had he look into it too.

He came back with the same thing.

There is NO TSB with the code 18-046-11 on any 4th Gen Ramm 1500 models.

The "18" is a code for vehicle performance. The "11" is the build/model year. The "046" is the code for the problem's source..... it's non-existant.

talked to the stealership today about it... he said that every truck is not identical and hes problay just came up for a PCM/TCM update and it just agreed with the update and helped the truck...

some updates hurt or help a truck... its a hit or miss.. but he said a 2012 there is no TSB updates nor recalls at this time... but i will be changing my oil at the dealership and i will ask to look for updates

I am also getting mediocre gas mileage. I've never averaged 20 on the freeway, I need to look into this.
