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...

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.

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.

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.

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!
