Ram had the online VOT (Vehicle Order Tracker) but it's been removed since, most have not had much luck with it being accurate anyways... Most commonly, it's a month and a half wait. But, you could get lucky! :D

So far so good here!
So, how many have had multiple fill ups of DEF yet?
Sadly from my findings and other it seems like a little over a gallon per ~1000 miles. What's your findings?
