Hi: I have had mine new since Nov of 2016 and use it hard. After purchase the sending unit went out before delivery, after that no further problems until about 30k miles. Found that dealer replaced the sending unit but used same pump. Of course at a very busy intersection the truck died, literally. Found at a different dealership about what the selling Chrysler dealership had done. Cost Chrysler past the $25k mark when the fuel pump came apart and sent metal filings through out the fuel system. Everything had to be replaced in the fuel system and with special ordering (getting some of the parts off the assy line) the truck was down for a month. It was great that the 2nd dealership gave me a loaner the entire time. Since then have had no more major problems and have more than 76k miles on it now. Fuel mileage is ok, average about 25mpg. Towing about a 9k pound trailer getting between 19 and 21mpg driving around town and 70 to 80 on the road. Great truck, change the oil (Shell Rotella T6, 5w40) every 8k miles.

Good to hear Dodge took care of everything 
. I am new owner of my 2015 LoneStar 1500. Am going to upgrade oil at this change coming due In roughly 200 miles at 52000. Is 8000 miles between changes a good idea??

If using diesel 5% or less bio 10k is ok, if using 6% plus to 20% bio at times recommended to change it at 8k miles.Good to hear Dodge took care of everything

I am sold on Amsoil diesel engine oil, I have been using it for years with great results. I did what I call the oil finger test. I poured some Shell Rotella T6 in my hand and rubbed my fingers together and then I took some Amsoil Diesel engine oil and poured it in my hand and rubbed it in between my fingers. The Amsoil had more sticky feel to it than the Shell Rotella T6. Before everyone try to shoot me I know that this not a scientific test.Good to hear Dodge took care of everything
