How many miles have you driven your eco diesel?

[18 ECODiesel Ram]

This PIC is prior to the 25K. I was nice to the skinny pedal from San Francisco Bay Area to Las Vegas.
Wished I can say the same when returning home...

10,041 miles when the main bearings failed. Been sitting at the dealer for five weeks waiting for a new engine.

My old 2009 Hemi was sold at 144,000 miles free from worries except for the rear differential, i sold it in 2016

My current 2016 Eco Diesel has had it easy
It has not gone more than 24 miles from my place since January 2020, due to illness
It currently only has 60,000 miles on it, it has only been at the dealership for service & recalls

Sorry to hear this. I was told it will take a week to get my EGR recall done. So the truck is sitting at the dealer.

My dealership has so many EGR recalls waiting to be done
That i thinking mine may be done next year

I don't really drive my truck much but after 3 months, I have reached 1000 miles. How many miles do you have on yours?View attachment 168707

45k. I put the first 33k on it the first 18 months from purchase, and then my round trip commute of 100 miles suddenly ended and I go in sporadically now.

I got mine done last fall. I took the dealer many months to get the part in. It has about 10k on it with no problems.

Yes full delete. Although I don’t think anyone needs to go full delete unless they have emissions parts fail where it is more expensive to fix than to go full delete.

your 2014 ED has 830k? did you do your delete immediately when you got the truck or after a period of time?

 

[James Privette]

On my 2015 I have right at 125k.

FCA sent me a letter this month, stating

This letter is to inform you that the warranty period on your vehicles 3.0L Diesel Crankshaft Tone Wheel has been extended from 5 years or 100,000 miles to 8 years / Unlimited miles

It applies to 2014 - 2018 Ram 1500 pickup (DS) vehicles

2017 just hit 62k, towed a 5k trailer to Anchorage, moving back up there next summer with another one!

 

[VernDiesel]

I did the basic egr off tune at 30k miles and due to an issue the full delete at 260k.

that's incredible and encouraging! Do you do a lot of towing?

 

[VernDiesel]

I’m a transporter contracted with Airstream, Forrest River, Gladiator boats, & a few others. So pretty much all day every day like a big truck. I bought the ED prior to falling into this business so yo speak. I would have bought a 3/4 diesel for the business but since I already had the ED & Airstream & Gladiator boats are not that big I appreciate the better mileage especially now with the crazy fuel prices with this administration & socialist government movement in power.

Just over 20,000 since February 1 on my 2021. Been towing travel trailer all over the country and back twice. Had the first oil and fuel filters change at 8,000 and the second at 17,000 or so. As of last week the 4 OEM Goodyear Wranglers (265/75/18) and crappy donut spare are gone. Replaced with 5 Michelins. The spare is now an identical tire on an identical matching alloy rim.

NEW RAMers: WARNING!!!!!!!
That "Full Size Spare on a Steel Wheel" is NOT what you expect. Its a narrower, lower profile donut. Don't be surprised by it out in the middle of nowhere. Especially towing off road. RAM's idea of a "full size spare on steel rim" is a crime. The spare is not only narrower and lower profile, the tread pattern is nothing you want out there in the rain or even on hard dry dirt. Its got practically no tread. What is criminal to me is that this tire was put on a $60,000 truck with a full trailer tow package.... Something like A 245/55R20. "Full size" my ares!
