Just to be clear there is no special diesel only oil here. It just is oil that meets manufacturer spec for handling the soot and ash of diesel. Still gasoline compatible.

It's more so regarding ecu mapping. FCA is sitting on a 32+MPG ecu mapping for the ecodiesel but right now no other Truck on the market can come close to what the ecodiesel is capable of. And without competition there's no need for improvement. It will take a good while before we see more from...

I don't know that the amsoil actually meets the spec because they tend to write their own qualifications vs subjecting to manufacturer testing. Champion syngold meets spec. Everyone here is or damn well should be aware of exactly what oils to run in our trucks and that it's not just anything.

I don't like gremlins

Here's hand calculated total anyways when I did stop and fill. Though I squeezed 24 gallons in the evic said I had range of almost 4 gallons remaining. I was at a little shy of a quarter anyways. I really won't complain about giving up an hour round trip having slowed down

So I had a lot more errands in the cities and short commutes though it was warm and I did not have to idle near as much as at home which is about 30 degrees cooler and then got hit with rush hour leaving Minneapolis a headwind on the way home but I still made it to bemidji before my evic was...

At 63+ with available air suspension or the limited model the truck lowers about 1 inch to help break the wind as long as you do not have a 7 pin trailer connected or are in tow/haul mode then it bypasses it. Or if you have over 2500# or so payload it overloads and will only maintain standard...

I've got 355 miles on the clock on this tank of fuel so far. I've driven from Roseau MN (10 miles from Canadian Border) to the Mall of America Bloomington, MN Pretty damn good. 3 persons and some light luggage. Been driving 56-60MPH only surpassing that to 63MPH to hit Aero then backing off...

Here's an insight into gas station additives from my local fill. Holiday station stores.

Agree. Before winter and after winter. $50 annual maintenance to your fuel system. People spend that in a couple of months on additives so what's the big deal

I was seriously considering going to the 65 series tire also but in the Cooper atw It's an all season but winter siped version of at3's. You're MPG calculations aren't considering that you're actually traveling more MPH and more miles than your Odo is reading because of the larger tire. I'm...

Replace maybe; but is it working? Is it actually engaging after replacement or just a new one thrown in and assumed it's ok? What pieces of that puzzle were the ones replaced?

I don't know about anyone else but my drain pans are far from clean. Gear oil, transmission fluid, oil, coolant. You can't just pour that oil into your rig. Oil touches that drain pan and it's garbage

Neat trick with the ez valve, if you recycle your oil and save the containers from your previous oil change you can drain it quart by quart with no mess at all back into containers to bring in. No oil pans, no mess at all. And if anything happens and you need to redo an oil change same thing...

I still do not understand the topsider method of oil changes. Even on my old Mercedes Clk where I had to remove the entire splash pan to drain the oil that was still my choice. At least you know what's going on under your engine. And the ram works great with the ez drain valve

For now this is still my choice and was my 3rd round of oil. Considering the Mobil ESP though. I am a fan of Mobil1 synthetic and have run it in all of my other (mostly German) gas vehicles for years.

If it's any consolation you're the only person I've ever heard of having this issue. But a day late and a dollar short I guess

Unfortunate scenario and I can't believe the dealers would leave you in that position. What about your purchasing dealer at home? Will they after the fact provide a loaner or won't they touch you without them physically doing the warranty Work?

I'd have flipped beyond your current state. Filing lemon law at this point and notifying Chrysler of doing so is definitely your best bet right now.

At least someone's seeing snow this winter
