Welcome to the site and be sure to keep us updated! Aside from the new problem glad to hear you are overall happy with the truck!

Yeah you can get the mopar oil filter from diesel Filters online but it's really tricky to find as they haven't structured the site for ram ecodiesel even remotely well. But if you know your part numbers it's pretty easy to find. And their sales keep Filters around 30$ and shipping isn't much...

Still just the two strays in town a see once every few months and I rarely see one or two when going into bigger cities. I guess the sales haven't picked up in Minnesota here! Too bad! Those hemi guys don't know what they're missing.

That's a pretty good deal I've heard pennzoil to be extremely cheap on Amazon. But I've used champion syngold my first two changes and been happy. Will be turning 19k tomorrow. Somewhere out there there is an Ecodiesel oil change kit that has a mopar filter then base price of about 80-100 to...

Welcome and I think You will really enjoy it in the future.

I keep my truck plugged in all of the time and never noticed a difference in electric usage that I can attribute solely to the truck. It's ok. And when it's single digits if my block heater can keep my coolant at ~60 degrees which is also ran through my DEF tank it's got to be keeping it from...

Mine has come up black or super dark and grainy a time or two but that's all the problems I've ever had

Well except you could've gotten a Taurus SHO

But I've seen early 90s 2.2L I-4 s10s with fresh rebuilds have damn near pegged oil needles all the time. A family member has a 98 3/4 ton 454 that still runs at 60 when it's at operating temp and driving normal. And I've seen the same on the 350s for many many other old Chevs. I guess I'm not...

I guess I did. I had parts shipped to my door before I ever took delivery and had the truck home. Crazy

80 during driving rpms isn't that high. All old gm trucks anywhere from I4's to v8's small blocks and big blocks see those oil pressures especially when cold. I guess I've never noticed near 80s on my truck but it could've been overlooked

He means the wheel speed sensor for ABS/ESC/TC not referencing it as the actual speedometer sensor

Haha my commute is almost exactly the same and in the north western plains of Minnesota my truck idles as much as Shawn's does warming up etc. And 1 mile commute by air driving is about the same as your ~1.2m So I understand what you mean about driving styles not being nice to it. But I just...

But you're right in that situation a dealer should be more than sure especially during R&I when they find damage so who knows really without the physical hands on and in your face diagnosis

That's why I referenced a possible damaged wiring section or similar in the beginning. I understand there's a lot more preventative measures towards water resistance on wiring but there's still things that could happen; i.e. over torquing the wheel sensor or misaligned sensor during the...

I'm getting awful close to 20k myself so we'll see the fate of my truck very soon. But thus far I've had no issues regarding my own oil cooler

I don't know about that being a complete failure. I'd think if ABS light came on it'd be wayyy too late. And he seemed to have a reoccurring issue whenever moisture was present. But we haven't gotten an update so who knows..?

Yeah but that is what 5-10% at resale when it's a $20k value? But it was a $60k truck? That's still a 100k mile 60% depreciation to hold an extra 5 or 10 percent. Vs a $40-45k Big Horn or SLT that depreciates the same but it's a $20k loss to depreciation vs a $40k loss. Minus the 5-10%...

This is true because the Laramie and higher end submodels of the vehicle experience heavy depreciation as a luxury vehicle just as all high end luxury vehicles do, and you're left with the bare bones value of a basic truck with "XX,XXX" amount of miles. Look at depreciation on Mercedes and...
