Also air ride and ram boxes....believe it or not the "aero" mode on the air ride going down the hwy makes about a 1mpg difference by dipping the nose of the truck...but does make for a bit bumper of a ride
750 mile round trip...from the valley floor through the mountains at 6k feet and driving about 200 miles on dirt roads looking at hunting spots....2015 Laramie ccsb 3.55 gears with gear ice chests and three guys
Very valid point browntruck but I know I chose mine after reading the eco boosts will average around 10 to 12 if towing any kind of decent load keeping the boost up. If I wanted speed I would have bought a hemi...I wanted cheaper fuel better mileage and higher resale value when it's time to...
Ya no kidding....we are one of the last tractor manufacturers to make the switch to OAT cat and cummins started it years ago. So far I have been less than impressed mostly due to the to catastrophic things that can happen if someone messes up and puts standard antifreeze in them....the two do...
The problem with swapping from OAT to glycol based is typically the seals in the system won't like it and shrink up and start leaking. We have had this happen in our tractors as we are now running OAT coolant in our tier 4 fiat power train engines
Sounds like FCA needs to come up with a fix for this asap...you can't have a customer service nightmare like this happening and telling people you are just going to fluch the system...that won't work!
This is one that definitely spooks me a bit this is becoming more and more prevalent as these trucks are hitting 20 to 40k miles...warranties ease the blow to some extent but you still have to drive a vehicle that isn't yours. And it's normally a hemi which gets half or less the fuel mileage.
Depends on how much money you want to spend....if your truck has the harness and everything you can pull the dash apart and install it yourself but you'll have to have the dealer flash the ecm to think it has it...normally an extra $100 for the flash
I wouldn't mess with thermostat because of the ccv/egr cool down the engine it may not be able to cook all of the stuff off. I did some research on this with my gmc and couldn't come up with a way to besides putting a manual switch in to override the fans....it is demanded on with ac pressure...
This one didn't bother me a ton it is what it is.... now when my gmc was only 3 months old and i ran my quad through the back of the cab I cried from that one....
Got a quote he said no way to fix because it's on that crease...1500 for a shell and paint...they will swap over my internals...oh well 500 deductible I guess shit happens
