Hello all,
I just picked up a 2014 Tradesman ED and look forward to learning more about it. Rolling the dice a bit, as it has high (182k) miles, but is in excellent condition and one owner. I am not new to diesels but this is my first EcoDiesel.

That's good to hear, this truck runs excellent, but I do understand now what people were talking about regarding the turbo lag and overall performance. I would like to find a shop that specializes or is familiar with these engines locally as I am not. Hopefully this forum will be of use in finding one.

Try and contact a former member of this forum named "VernDiesel"' He lives in the Dayton, Ohio area and tows Airstream Travel Trailers from the plant around the country to various dealers. He owned a 2014 and put 300K on his first engine then another 300K+ on the second before he just recently switched to a RAM 2500 with a Cummins. He is very helpful and had many contacts in the area for diesel eng maintenance.

Good Luck

I was born and raised in Dayton and West Carrollton. Graduated from Wright State back in the late '80s. Great place to be from!

You're to young!! :)
My wife and I were both born at Miami Valley Hosp and graduated from Beavercreek HS back in the early 60's.
Raised a family in Kettering, Ohio; went to Wright State when is was still just a DAY CARE center (no dorms had been built in 1967).
If you have any challenge getting in touch with Vern, let me know and I'll see if I can locate a contact method for you.
Next time I get to Dayton from South Carolina, as we have family up there, I'll look you up!

Best

I don't feel young...! I was at WSU '81-'85 but spent too much time in the Rathskeller! :) I found him on another Ram site, but he hasn't responded to my message (it was just yesterday though). Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

Well, we were there (WSU) at the same time, and probably shared some time together at the Rathskeller!
