I have GDE Hottune which helps and 10 ply 17'' tires which hurts. Last week drove 200mi one way on the interstate at 75-80, turned around and came back on the same path at about adv 74 MPH. adv 27.7 MPG hand calculated at theses speeds.
Today the CEL came on and remained on for two different trips into town. It disappeared on my second return trip. It was on a total of about 15 miles. Any ideas? Don't really want to take it in If I don't have to, dealer is 1 hour away.
80 or so miles running around in Ohio, I decided to head back to NE Oklahoma thinking I'd need fuel for sure on the way back, as I adved about 28.3 on the way down. But to my great surprise, I pulled into my hometown gas station with 740 miles on the tank and the EVIC claiming 31.5MPG which...
Folks. I know nothing about watts and amps. I'd like to put an inverter on the truck to run a couple of bigger things that the 100 watt stock one will not run. How big of one can the truck's charging system handle without draining the battery? Also, is there a way to hook it into the stock...
Ok. Here is the first report for MPGs with the high rise Topper. 621 miles on 22.4 gal. worked out to be 27.7 MPG hand calculated. This included about 1hr total of idling, 20 percent of short trips back and forth to town with adv. speed of 30 mpg. The rest was a 500 mile round trip past OKC...
Is it just me, or is it possible that many of the problems are related to the sooooooot in the engine. I love the GDE hot tune that shuts off the EGR. Oil is pretty clean even at 5k
I'll try almost anything for more MPGs, but really, with the GDE tune, I'm pushing at least 28 MPG empty and around 18-19 towing a cattle trailer. The heat is the issue for me. I've been hitting 239ish while towing and am a little worried. It seems to go down if I DON'T use the powerservice...
Sorry folks. Been a while since I've posted. I've been looking at truck toppers for my 2015 Eco diesel. A.R.E. maintains that the hi caps will actually help MPGs while towing large trailers like my cattle trailer. Problem is, they wanted almost 2k for one. Well, lo and behold, I was...
2015 RAM 1500 Ecodiesel Bighorn with 17'' Rims and 10ply tires. This is my second fillup with DEF (at the pump) and first fillup of DEF with the entire mileage on the GDE Hottune.
First fillup I went 8166 Miles on 5.91 Gal of DEF for a MPG of 1381.
2nd fillup was 8221 miles later and...
I just ordered two 2.5 gal jugs of diesel kleen from the link below. I began using this product when the truck was new, and I really like it. It is much cheaper bulk. One of these jugs will do me over 97000 miles so I split the purchase with a friend.
What I like about the product is that...
received this email today. Anyone heard of it? it came from carcomplaints.com
