I don't have the GDE tune on my 2020 (yet), but I have one on my 2015. The other day I averaged 30 mpg in my 2015 running 70 mph. I've heard similar results with the 2020+ trucks. On average, you should see 1 - 2 mpg improvement over stock. But more importantly, the tune gives you a cleaner...

Green Diesel Engineering.

I can't wait to hear the rest of this story.

In my opinion, the GDE tune is worth it just for the performance alone. I installed the GDE tune at 93,000 miles (two years ago) and haven't had any issues. The truck runs great, the bump in fuel economy will eventually pay for the tune, and you are getting a much cleaner combustion. It's a...

Do you have a part number and a link of where to purchase?

GDE only sells the EPA Compliant Tune. Their old tune disabled the EGR. I have the GDE EPA Compliant tune and love it. I would highly recommend it.

Where exactly are you in southwestern Kansas? I just drove through Liberal a few days ago. If you want to keep the truck mostly stock, but with a legal tune, I highly recommend the GDE EPA Compliant Tune. Your truck will run better, cleaner, and the fuel economy will improve.

I could be wrong, but I thought the DPF sensor was covered under the 5 year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Ram isn't dropping the EcoDiesel because it has problems. The 3rd gen engine has very few problems and has proven to be a reliable platform. The CEO of Ram said they are pushing up electrification in the Ram 1500, which is why the EcoDiesel is being dropped. The full electrification isn't...

I don't disagree there's a better design, but I do believe the factory part, when manufactured correctly, will last the life of the engine. If we lived in the same town, I would probably have your shop install an oil by-pass system and fuel pressure sensor, then we can eat pizza. ;)

There are tone wheels with 400,000 miles with no issues. There are tone wheels that only lasted 70,000 miles. Clearly, there was a quality control issue (some good and some bad). I try not to worry about it too much. My next big trip will be 880 miles one way, and that's when I'll think more...

Now that I'm outside of warranty, I like to look at the cost of ownership. I financially prepared myself for $250 per month to keep the 2015 on the road. So far, the cost of ownership has been $97 per month in 2021 and $49 per month in 2022. So far, the cost to keep the truck has been below my...

How much have you spent outside of warranty? Everything you've listed has been covered under warranty.

I had the dealer install a replacement CV axle a few weeks ago. I was debating if I should replace both, but ultimately decided to only replace the bad one.

I have 105,000 miles on my 2015 Ram (stock suspension). I noticed the driver's side boot is leaking. Should I replace both CV axles, or just the one leaking? I don't see many people talking about CV axle failures.

I'm at 105,000 on my 2015 with no major issues. We enjoyed owning the 2015 so much that we bought a second EcoDiesel (2020 truck). So far, it's been great, too. I think @TC Diesel is right, you either get a Hero or a Zero. So far, I have two Hero trucks!

I would contract Ram Cares to see if you can appeal it. If your tone wheel failed, that tells me it was one of the defective parts. My 2015 has 105,000 miles on it. So far, I haven't had the failure occur and I'm covered under the recall.

The CP4.2 on the EcoDiesel is far from junk. According to internal investigations, it has a 1% failure rate. For reference, the engine has somewhere between a 10% - 15% failure rate.

I'm not looking forward to the day that mine need to be replaced. I'll be taking mine to the dealer, but I admire those of you who have the talents/skills to tackle the job yourself. (y)
