Who’s got a lifted Eco Diesel?

Anyone here with a 5th Gen eco diesel lift your truck yet?

How’s performance and gas mileage with at least 35” tires? I’d imagine it would fair a bit better than the hemi.

I don't have the 5th gen, but my 4th gen Eco lost 3-6 mpgs with a lift and 35" tires. Still get 21-23 all around, but the new motor (yours) should do a little better than that.

Good to hear. Only other thing I’m skeptical on is it’s reliability.

From what I understand, the latest Eco model has remedied a few of the weak points of the older models. I wouldn't worry about it. It's a great motor.

What were the specific problems the previous Gen eco diesels had?

I'm not sure of all that were specifically addressed, but for sure cooling was improved and the EGR configuration was also improved. A pretty good write up here: https://jalopnik.com/the-2020-ram-1500-ecodiesel-is-a-torquier-version-of-an-1837366263
