    Huge MPG reduction after installing 285/60R20 Goodyear Duratrac snow tires on my Ram 2500 diesel-I lost over 100 miles per tank of diesel-anyone else?

    Yes, my 6.7 lost 150 mile range, put very soft rubber NOIKEN HAKKEPELITAS on in October, my motivation was to get off the super slider Firestones. I expected that, and the much improved traction is well worth it. this was also my experience with putting on track tires on my M5 It is a...

    In shock and a migrane!!

    23 miles per canadian gallon = 19 miles per US gallon which is still pretty good My Dealer told me 95% of his customer in the last 5 years claim 18 mpg is the best they can get looking at this forum it seems mostly true

    Disappointing MPG

    huge differences in travel trailer frontal area. diesel or gas, 9.9 mpg is all one can expect with a 12 foot tall trailer, even less with the slightest head wind

    Disappointing MPG

    cdn gallon = 4,56 L US Gallon = 3.79 L HENCE the cdn gallon is 20.3% larger hence your 22.2 mpg is actually 18.45 mpg

Trip usually takes 12-hrs one way. Fast forward, modifications bug hit...

    6.4 fuel econ

    I bought a left over 2018 6.7 a year ago on the cheap, it had been sitting on the lot because it was 2wd. In hindsight i am glad i did , it exceeds all my gas mileage expectation based on Dealer telling me the best i can expect is 16 to 18 mpg. My computer shows over 24 mpg average over last...

    I think I am done with Chrysler products

    Service Writers (not Mangers since no empowerment) are instructed to protect dealer profits at all cost. Based on the script service writers are given, the consequences are ******* off customers and bad reviews, thus the strategy is to replace them every 3 to 6 months as the fall guy. The tag...

    I think I am done with Chrysler products

    Dealers do not stay in business by pleasing customers after the sale. They figured out a way to make a profit in a highly competitive market, which is low margin high volume selling. If a Dealer cannot field the lowest price per Brand in his area of operation, they will die a slow death. The...

    Did you buy a Gasser or a Diesel?

    Based on 3500 miles per month driving at 74 mph the fuel savings provided by a CTD would equal the difference in purchase price in less than 3 years. That is without resale or maintenance cost being taken into account

    How much def usage is normal?

    i guess you have used about 210 gallons of fuel if DEF usage can be measured accurately that works out to 2.6% of fuel usages which is good. When i got my truck DEF gauge was at 3/4 full i added 5 gallons of DEF Gauge stayed at full mark for the longest time, now know tank can be overfilled by...
