Good info Max. So far the cold isn't affecting the #EcoDiesel at all. Although, most modern diesels handle the cold well now. The block heater makes a huge difference. I need to get a timer to kick on about 3 or 4 hours before I leave so it doesn't burn as much electricity.

Enjoying this Sunday!

I used a spreadsheet but found the app called fuely. It's based online and offers a cool way to report your mileage over time.

Well that's good news considering the situation. Sticking with the EcoDiesel?

If you plan on towing moderately "heavy", then I would say go with the 3.92, if you the occasional tower, I would stick with the 3.55 for better MPG.

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

Sorry to hear this Nicholas, I had a similar problem with GM on a new truck. The part was on backorder for 3 weeks and the dealer could do nothing for me they said. I called GM Customer service and they had me one in two days. I see you've went that far with Ram's customer service, hopefully...

With the DPF going bad on some trucks, others haven't been so lucky. Ram does provide a rental, but still... you give 40K for a truck you shouldn't have to park it for a month because of back-ordered parts.

Yea, good point.. :D I've caught myself doing the same thing.

Good numbers David, seems to be about right from my findings. Some others just aren't getting that much out of the DEF fluid.

Either way Kurt, keep us updated on the situation. You're MPG numbers directly correlate with the DPF problems. If it's not burning efficiently or clean, it will hurt you. Perhaps another EcoDiesel would treat you better.

Good luck to both of you guys, I'm not sure why some are having these problems and some aren't?

Ram added a new fuel economy package to the #EcoDiesel 1500 picked that boosts highway fuel economy by 1 MPG per the EPA testing. The new HFE package, short for "High Fuel Economy" was achieved through better aerodynamics. The city and combined remained the same at 20 MPG city and 23 MPG...
