    EcoDiesel Oil Change Intervals

    I strongly encourage you to look into the dpf scr issues the Cummins ram had. But more power to ya. Pun intended.

    EcoDiesel Oil Change Intervals

    That comes with it's own round of dpf recalls and issues as well as higher purchase cost and possible overall cost of ownership to sacrifice the 1/2 ton ride quality which is why most people don't just purchase HD trucks. Good luck with you Cummins to be. Just don't lie to yourself in saying...

    Eco Diesel Exhaust Filter issues

    Next time your 80% message comes up try and do a parked regeneration. Just run the engine anything beyond 1800 rpms and once it initiates it will drop about 10% per minute. All while sitting in your driveway at a high idle. This is identical to a computer forced regen by the dealer. If it...

    TonnoPro hard tri-fold

    I had a tonno pro soft trifold just because I wanted something easy to slap on in the occasion when the topper came off, it wasn't worth the money. You get what you pay for. Previously had a BAK rolling cover and it was worth every penny. Also getting a solid tri fold I would definitely get a...

    led headlight replacement

    Ed Definitely try out the enlight system for your low beams, it's awesome. Don't even use my fogs anymore and the factory halogen high works great. So it's cheaper than 3x cheap led systems!

    Bio diesel vs non bio/mpg and oil change frequency?

    I have 65 series tires and m/t's, that are 60# a piece. And my winter warm up times are 10-25 min with a block heater. I have 1500+ hours on my engine and 1/3 is idle hours. Factor that in and my MPG is entirely fair

    Who is towing what with their Ecodiesel?

    I haven't scaled it yet, I really don't know. 22.5' bayliner they tend to be pretty heavy, i'll guess 5500 or so on the trailer?

    Rolled Ram, now what?

    Curious what you ever ended up purchasing as a replacement?

    Bio diesel vs non bio/mpg and oil change frequency?

    Absolutely, the only times I saw the MPG that you do is when all of my driving was under 65MPH along with factory installed highway tires, realistic speeds and driving habits, winter warm up times, general excessive idling, aggressive tires in my particular case, evic shows lifetime MPG's of...

    Bio diesel vs non bio/mpg and oil change frequency?

    I don't feel so bad, even with my tires those are the numbers I see on the low end. I think I had one 15MPG tank over the winter but even light towing Merritt's 16-17.

    How many miles on your ecodiesel and have you had any problems?

    Ok so that's 11 of how many sold in the last 3 years? Same applies to higher mileage cam/hpfp gear failures...

    Finally Some New Shoes.

    Going to a 275/65/20 is a really good decision in my opinion if you can handle the stiffer sidewall. Tire options are nearly endless as it's been Ford super duty factory 20" size forever. And even a highway tread gets like 16/32nds opposed to 275/60/20 only getting 11-12 on the high end

    Finally Some New Shoes.

    There's just so much rubber it's crazy. Brand new sr-a is 11/32nds, these have 19. I replaced sr-a at 34k and they looked worn out for a truck Tire, and I only saw 22-24 consistent MPG. Now I'm pretty average at 17 but depends on driving habits at any given time. My father in law and...

    How many miles on your ecodiesel and have you had any problems?

    Just turned 46k over the weekend. Did an 1800 mile round trip from roseau, mn through Duluth to Springfield, IL towing an empty car trailer. Got burned on the car and drove empty both ways. 15-18MPG going 65-75

    Just signed up

    I'm with you on the offset being too much, it's a nice truck but definitely not my preference. What MPG figures do you see with the wide tires and lift?

    New to the site

    Oil changes via the book are at 10k intervals, but it states the truck is ok to run up to b20 I believe? And at which it recommends a shorter oil interval I believe 7k? Check your owners manual for verification on that.

    Finally Some New Shoes.

    Have about 8k on them now, no visible wear, still howl down the road but not too obnoxiously. Seem to be holding up really well. Worst winter MPG I've seen is 15 or so, I average out between 17 and 19 depending on speed. Not terrible from my old 22 average. And i'll probably sit closer to 19-22...
