    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

    In shock and a migrane!!

    As my Avatar shows when new I regularly got 24.5 mpg on regular 1,200 mile north south round trips, average speed 58 mph due to lots of construction and hour long border crossing, most of the time I am doing 75/80 when i can. 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 pissing 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...

    Only 6.5 mpg towing enclosed trailer (only 3,700lbs)!

    snow mobile trailers are not that tall, a boat has even less resistance, i would be disappointed with 7mpg It may be the hemi only has highway efficiency in 4 cylinder mode the small added drag of a snow mobile trailer takes it out of the efficiency range . Once 5.7 engine has a load on it...

    Transmission Shudder, Dealer can't fix

    I had this issue in my 5.7 Tundra for 12 years, never went to dealer. Never hurt trans My reasoning was this, it got phenomenal in town gas mileage due to a tenacious torque converter lock up strategy, it would hold 6th gear locked up down to 1100 rpm on level ground showing 23 mpg, the...

    Transmission "Ordeal"

    Interesting that FCA has that much confidence in Dealership mechanics to allow them to attempt a transmission rebuild. When I owned a 2010 Subaru Legacy a TSB specified that any issues with the transmission be remedied by a factory fresh new transmission in no case should a dealer attempt a...

    Bouncing dually

    When the 2007 Tundra came out , there was an uproar about a freeway hop , shaking from the rear, mainly over concrete slab type freeways on west coast. This only happened in certain parts of the country. Keep in mind this is a softly sprung half ton Chevy took advantage of this and made a...

    Vibration in 4wd

    It was not till i bought my 2007 Tundra 4x4 new that i realized what the Ford dealer told me was BS. This time i knew better, even though the Dealer complained i would be putting too many miles on it I drove the 3 miles to get to highway 4wd was smooth to 70mph just a very minor increase in...

    Vibration in 4wd

    Common with truck part time all wheel drive. only vehicles that I did not have vibration in 4wd are all wheel drive Jeeps and Subaru. My worst experience was my first 4wd a new 1997 F150, i test drove it up to 50 mph in 4 wd seemed OK . But first winter drove to work at 75 mph in 4wd...

    6.4 -4th vs 5th gen comparo?

    Lugging an engine at low rpm creates vibration, with today's computer controls one does not get pinging or detonation on low fuel quality, instead timing is pulled back and fuel enriched so much, that low speed torque output suffers greatly to the point 4 cylinders don't pull the load...
