    Eco Diesel

    I have a fully loaded 14 diesel. (Limited with the Ram boxes). I love it. Really smooth, quiet ride. On a trip from DC to Atlanta, was getting around 28-29 mpg on the freeway doing 70 mph. As a daily driver, has plenty of power to get you to the next red light. The most I tow with it is...

    New shoes in the snow!

    And for anyone curious about the 3.0 diesel, it starts up just fine in 10 degrees f. Low end torque was fun for doing donuts!

    New shoes in the snow!

    With only 4,000 on my Goodyears, and a snow storm approaching, I decided to switch to some tires that wouldn't make my truck a death trap. I put on the Yokohama Geolander A/T-S. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=Geolandar+A%2FT-S Kept with the stock...

    1500 Gas Vs Diesel

    As a diesel owner, I love mine. I've had it for about 3 months, and have 4,000 miles on it. One of my trips was from DC to Atlanta and back. Made it down on one tank of gas (little over 600 miles), and averaged 28 mpg doing 70-75 the whole way. The low end power for highway cruising is...

    AMP Research Powerstep, Questions?

    I went with Bestop Powerboards. Really happy with them. Posted a couple of pics of them here: http://www.ramforum.com/f41/first_mod_bestop_power_board_nx-53921/ Like others have said, open the door, put a little weight on them when you shut the door, and they stay extended. It's a...

    Anyone done mods to the 3.0 EcoDiesel yet?

    I have a 2014 Limited EcoDiesel. Has about 2,000 miles on it. Love the truck. I'm getting around 24 mpg in mixed driving. Have seen 29 mpg, and 650 miles on one tank on a 55-65mph backroads trip. Has anyone started modding this engine yet? Bigger turbo? Chip? I did a search, but it...

    first mod: Bestop Power Board NX

    WhiteBuck, here's a better pic of the clearance. It'd be tight, but you might be able to add a mud flap. A hard flap would probably work better than a really flexible one:

    Saftey concern.

    There's been a few times I went to put the truck into Drive, and next thing I know I'm blasting the stereo! I need to start paying better attention to what I'm grabbing!

    Ended up going with Bakflip G2. Very happy with it! Only took 45 min to install. Very easy with the Rambox rail system. Very flush, and no affects on the Rambox opening and closing.

    New prospect - How much did you pay for your 2014 1500?

    I just picked up a fully loaded Ram 1500, Limited, Diesel. Sticker was $58,000, they sold it for $47,500. Right now is a great time of year to buy a 2014. Anywhere from $8k-$10k off of sticker. By October, they might all be gone. Not 100% sure when the 2015's will start showing up on...
