The 5.9 doesn't tow what the 6.x (sorry can't remember ( can, and when you jumo to that engine the fuel economy drops significantly. Don't get me wrong, for a daily driver, a diesel truck is not a wise choice, I agree with you there. I'm looking at diesel primarily due to towing needs or...
You're lucky it only took 2 weeks. My truck has been at the dealership for.....? 6-7 weeks now and no word on an engine.. just that they would expedite it. RAM customer care was/is a joke.
Me personally? As soon as this truck is back it is getting traded in. I'm not going through this again.
Still don't have a truck ... Last I talked to the joke of a "case manager" she couldn't tell me where an Engine was, how long it would take to get here etc. She said she would call the following week. She did not, and that would have been last week. I need to call someone tomorrow. I requested a...
I don't agree with this statement. I'm not in love with Diesels. They're more of a pain in the a$$. But if you compare the tow capacity of a 2022-2024 Chevy or GMC diesel to their gas engine tow capacity, it is significantly different. Then to get the tow capacity even close you have to go with...
Thank you for the replies everyone. I haven't heard from the dealership so I need to call today. I was hoping to pick the damn thing up this week.
The tow capacity and fuel economy is what keeps me wanting a diesel. I mean really the gas engines that have any tow capacity get 14/18mog highway...
So, update.
They say it needs a new engine. Half inch hole in the block. She's hoping they can get the order placed by noon tomorrow and then have it by mid next week. They are in stock but coming from down south.
They say they will now reimburse a loaner but here loaners are 60/day and...
So I'm a single mom driving my two kids on a spring break vacation in my 2018 EcoDiesel with only 48-49k when we left. Drove from Montana down to Monterey CA, up to San Fran, then up to wine country.
On way home I start hearing what I thought was a Jake break but going up hill so that didn't...
Great news! Threw 2 horses in a heavy steel trailer and towed it up a mountain pass. It towed it like it was nothing! And fuel econ on my to my parents house was horrible, but it was into a strong headwind.(30mph gusts). But on the way home when wind had died down we averaged 28.3 mpg including...
Yes agree and that was the point of keeping the caliber, it's just currently new. I will see how it does when I visit my parents today, they're 58 miles away lol. But running around in town has not reached 19mpg, nor has it reached 23combined considering some is highway/back roads with no stops...
In it's defense I have been driving short trips to my boyfriends house and into town. But I'm 10 mins from town so driving 65-70mph on flat I was seeing 32 in the actual/current mpg, but then when I was headed home at same speeds was seeing 22.... So now I'm wondering if I had let up on the...
Thank you! So far I love it except I don't think the fuel economy everyone swears by is there and the water leak. I haven't driven it enough to say for sure on fuel economy. I'm probably stuck with it even if it gets 18/22 but I will be pretty upset if it does.
Fair, I bought the truck, not knowing about the eco diesel issues, and wasn't concerned with the service department. This service department at this dealership is not good. Nothing but issues for my family and friends. Even the salesman said their service department sucked.
Laramie, 4x4, 6,185 miles, sun roof, 3.92 rear wheel ratio.
BUT (and it is a huge but!) I am not seeing the fuel economy so far, we are sitting around 18.1 combined and that is BS considering I could pay less for fuel and less for an engine if I wanted to get that kind of economy, and two I...
