Favorite thing about your ecodiesel?

[ecodiesel1]

so, whats your favorite feature about your ecodiesel, or ram truck in general?

Mine is interior, I think its years ahead of GM and look better than Ford.

It's hard for me to say a "favorite" thing. Interior is pretty high on my list though. They are nice!

I'd have to go with just how smooth it is. From the suspension to the transmission to the purring of the diesel, it's just flat out seamless. Love it.

Thus far I would have to say the air ride and the power train combo...runs and rides so smooth, one thing I have noticed is a pretty significant pause from hitting the pedal to actually going.....not sure if it's normal but the TPS system seems a bit delayed

Welcome to the turbo lag....

It doesn't feel like turbo lag it seems more electronic because it's as though the signal is delayed...because it's as though your not hitting the pedal at all....

Hmm. Could be worth getting checked out?

Yea, I had a new Duramax in 2011 and it was the same. The manufactures do that to help with fuel economy... basically making you "ease" into it.

well said, took the words right out of my mouth!

good stuff so far. I would like for it to setup a little taller but I do not want to loose any mileage doing it.

I would too. And I think a simple level of the front end (UCAs & bilstein 5100s) will do the trick. Keeping OEM size tires & wheels with a level shouldn't hurt much in the MPG category if at all. It is on my to do list.

FUEL MILEAGE!!!

FUEL MILEAGE!!!

That is one of my favorites as well

Same here.

Also learned... turn the traction control off before you try and race a buddy or you look like a fool off the line

I love many things about my new ED. I did just discover one thing that's really nice. I'm driving a diesel and didn't have to shut my truck off to place my order at a drive through. The a/c is very cold. I just came out of an 06 mega cab cummins. A/c was horrible in those trucks. So far love everything except for the turbo lag. But that's no biggie for the outstanding mpg.

My favorite thing about my truck is how nice it rides out on the open road, And of course, the fuel mileage.
