    found a set of Aluminum 17" stock rims w/ sensors for 300.00

    Yes tire options for the 17s are limitless compared to the 20s and $50 or better less per tire. And if you want 10ply tires on 20s you're damn near SOL ALTHOUGH I did discover that going from a 60 series tire to a 65 gives you tons of options as it's actually a common size 20. It's a 1/2"-1"...

    Truck Stop DEF

    And back to the beginning, @BoostN. I don't know how you're doing it; maybe you're over tightening the pour spout? But after learning to pinch open the breather before putting it on (learned from the idiots trying to fill the DEF at delivery how not to do it) I get absolutely no spillage or any...

    Truck Stop DEF

    Just had myself a bad experience putting the DEF in at the truck stop; it was -30F and I figured I'd throw in $10 as I was around 1/4; had just gotten my truck back from the deer and the pump at flying j decided to try super speed and blew DEF back out of the nozzle and all down the truck which...

    FUEL MILEAGE DECREASE

    I'd attribute it mainly to winter; warm up times; and I don't know about your particulars of current driving but they're very sensitive to wind on the highway. And the jet stream has been all over the Country as of late

    About to buy 2016 ED

    Welcome. You would be pretty comfortable pulling only a 7k trailer in the ecodiesel. And unless parkability or overall vehicle length are a concern the crew is really worth having the extra room. And the only possible way if you'll ever have a carseat for grandchildren or other family. Just as...

    And kerosene isn't very far from #1 diesel

    2016 ram 1500 ed

    Exactly; we all bought diesel's for the fuel mileage and characteristics of a diesel engine. And lubricity of the fuel. Low engine temps and longevity. (Sorry I just had a huge rant about this all) And nobody should be crying about a little higher fuel costs

    shutters & DIY winter front

    The recall is based on the assumption that anyone in cold climate ordered their truck with a factory installed block heater cord. Not referencing that the engine has a heating element regardless. So it's completely dependant on the build sheet if it were to come with a factor installed block...

    2016 ram 1500 ed

    I get hit at the pump either way but the diesel doesn't hurt quite so bad. Gas is 1.79, premium for the BMW is 2.39 and is lucky to see 20MPG highway so it stays in town sucking up premium. And winter blend diesel is 2.24/2.29 now. But it's barely moved since I got the truck in may at 2.59. Gas...

    What exterior accessories have you added?

    Have you seen the one from Geno's garage? Requires drill install and the torsion bar already in our tailgates doesn't completely let it down without applying pressure, BUT it also features lift assist so 2 finger tailgate closing

    Reported problems on the EcoDiesel

    Dealer couldn't get it in, even though I called ahead. 20 some odd codes mostly from the deer hit but we'll see. They'll take it in after the body work is all done I guess. 2 weeks or so

    average MPG towing with the ecodiesel

    I'm with you I get shit mileage. Maybe it's Minnesota roads. Maybe 10-12 towing a 16' enclosed tandem axle trailer. Loaded or empty. Pickup box trailer with a Topper, ~12MPG Hell I'm driving completely empty on I-29 right now; cruise at 76 in 8th gear with a 10-14MPH headwind and I can't break...

    Reported problems on the EcoDiesel

    So bringing the truck out of town to the body shop this morning I get blessed with a check engine light on top of everything. Just turned 20k And of course truck is going to the body shop for 2-3 weeks so I took most personal items out including my scanner and I left it at home instead of just...

    Wow I guess sales really must've been high that yours delayed so much only a month later. I'll be honest I would've been completely pissed

    When to use the tow haul button?

    the truck has power to keep up speeds on grades just as well as any other. And the air suspension is a great feature.
