    2007 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi Lone Star (Big Horn) MPG

    Looking at affordable options to get better MPG in my 2007 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi, it's the 2WD Lone Star edition, which is essentially the same as the Big Horn, but only came in red and was only sold in Texas (if that even matters). The truck says I get 11.9 MPG, and I would like to increase that...

    Awful gas mileage: 2024 RAM Rebel GT

    So I owned a 2014 RAM Laramie for 6 years and decided to upgrade to a 2024 Rebel GT because it is the last v8 ram will produce for a half ton. I LOVED my 2014 but decided I could get max value you for it right now so it all seemed like the perfect storm and the smart decision. I got a legit...

    Terrible 5.7L 2500 MPG

    Had an engine code for a P0420. Took out cats and put in anti-fowlers. No engine light so far, but have noticed my fuel economy is absolutely terrible. Was bad before and now seems a little worse. It’s a 2011 Ram 2500 5.7L crew cab longbox 4x4 with 3:73’s and stock tires. I drive it like a...

    What should I expect in MPG while towing my RV

    I have a 2021 RAM 1500 5.7 V-8 HEMI. I recently purchase a RV Camper to tow with my RAM. I was wondering what sort of gas mileage would I expect to get while towing? The camper dry weight is 5,200lbs. Any ideas and/or recommendations are greatly appreciated! It's a camper trailer, 28ft long. RAM...

    Towing + MPG (1500 Classic Tradesman 2x4)

    I have a ‘21 1500 Classic Tradesman 2x4. It’s done me great. I’ve had it about 6 months and 17000 miles. I drive a TON, so MPG is very important. (More important than monthly payments to a large extent.) I can get (driving conservatively) 24mpg on the highway w my 1500, but towing takes it down...

    2020 ram 1500 15.5 MPG with 87 14.1 mpg with 89 octane

    2020 rm 1500 v8 Ran 89 octane in her and it dropped the MPG down to 14.1-14.5 AVG THis is about a 1 MPG difference since running the 87 I am unsure if there is any performance difference. At first the 89 seemed to improve performance but towards the bottom of the tank i feel like it...

    Lowering effect on fuel economy and stability

    Has anyone noticed any change in fuel economy from lowering the vehicle, or is the reduced drag so small that its not really significant? Also for those that just level the vehicle with say a 2" rear lowering, at high speed do you notice the vehicle generating more lift without the positive...

    Tipm replacement

    So my tipm went bad truck wouldn't start and when it did it would just stall. So I ordered a rebuilt one, installed it, and now my truck runs like a scared rabbit. What's weird is I have a lot more power and better gas mileage. Any idea why?

    Mileage drop over time

    Ok, I'm willing to admit, I just have no idea what's going on and I'm willing to admit I may be a victim of snake oil. My mpgs have been steadily decreasing for about 30 000 kms. Here's what I've done to my 2014 3.6 (it's got 120 000 km) New sparkies 5000km ago. K and N drop in filter (used and...

    Question on cluster display

    Hi all, I just bought a 2019 Ram and on the tripometer on the dash cluster there's a display for MPG and another for MPH? I know I'm gonna sound stupid for asking, but what does the MPH stand for? Sorry to ask a dumb question but I'm still learning all the things this truck has.

    Bigger fuel tank options?

    Love my '18 power wagon. It's a tank and gets tank like MPG. That in of itself doesn't bother me. But with a 31 gal tank @10mpg, that's ~300 miles range. Not an issue when there is a gas station all around, but on long trips off-roading, where it can get down to 3mpg, I do get some range...

    Problems with truck, looking for insight.

    Hey, guys, finally got around to posting this. There are several things wrong with my truck that I want to iron out, so I'll get right to it. -Got a P0071 the other day. Ambient Air Temp sensor. Dunno how this affects the truck, should I be worried? Would the fix be to just get a new sensor...

    MPG in 2018 compared to 2011

    I have a 2011 (No Blue) SLT long bed Diesel. Look at a 2018 lariat with all creature comforts in short bed. It kind of bugs me that the fuel tank appears to be smaller But what I am hoping is that the switch to Blue and a few years of learning have had their effect is the MPG on the 2018 line...

    2018 mileage compared to the 2011

    I have a 2011 long bed crew cab. Towing a 10K trailer at speed the mileage is awful. I Got the SLT with no upgrades. Nice 36 gallon tank. I guess this was the last generation made that did not use Blue Def.. With my large tank I tow until empty and the DTE gives up guessing my remaining range...

    Performance vs mpg

    Im looking for some upgrades to my 17' ram 1500 that would improve performance and mpg. I hear a lot about pedal commanders on here but would that ruin my mpg?
