Here it is 6 years and 11 months and 96,280 miles since I bought it or got it and I did get it, MY SETTLEMENT CHECK. After many phone calls, e-mails, faxes (if you can believe they still want faxes) and a 4" thick folder full of papers, but I got it. There is a note on the check to "cash...

Here it is 6 years and 5 months and 86,000 miles since I bought it or got it. Have heard most of the problems they have had with it but I haven't had a problem one, except for recalls and of course the finger caught in the pie scenario on the emissions, which took my fuel economy from a steady...

Bob I bought and installed a set of AMP power steps, with the OSB port plug in connection wire, on my 2015 Eco Diesel as soon as I got it home from the dealer. Right from the start I had trouble not only with the junction box on the driver side floor but with the connector on the drive motor...

That was what I was getting until I hit the 10,000 mile mark. Right now today, 17.8 is the best for the last tank of fuel- highway and city driving, having 31,000+ miles on the vehicle today. Fuel dilution is still a problem but they are taking care of that with 3,000 mile oil changes on their...

Not familar wtih any of the tunes they are doing out there. Have you seen the GDE tune in operation?

The day I picked it up from the dealer is the first time I've seen the message on the instrument panel that it was in regeneration. Never seen that until then. Again I make a weekly run of 240 miles round trip with a 3 hour stop in the middle, rest of the time it is 60-85 mph.

Here is the latest update as to my Ram fuel/oil dilution and poor mileage problem as of 5-25-016. After months of the dealer downloading information off my 2015 Ram 4x4 crew cab Laramie Eco Diesel, my self-taking oil samples and supplying the results to local dealer, the local dealer took two...

Thanks, I'll let you know what I do and how it turns out. Big Blue

I woulod appreciate the information if it's not to much trouble to gather. Thanks Big Blue

Tony Do you have any part numbers to go with the items you have bought? Looking at the web sites there is still more options that could fit into the discription you gave on the items you bought and I don't want to get something different that what you have installed and tried. Have you had any...

Yes, but because of cost and FMC not responding to any of them I kept the sample but haven't sent it in as of yet. They sent there's in from the same oil change, but don't want to share the results with me.

Here is the running of all my oil samples so far.

The lowest mileage I have taken a sample on is 5,000, it was %5, 7,500 miles-5% and 10,000 miles 4.8%. Oil manufactures and different engine manufactures have told me anthing above 3% at 10,000 is trouble and that is allowing for a +-1% margin. Having diesels all my life and been around them...

Enjoy. I have enjoyed mine but still have trouble with diesel fuel in the oil. 1 quart in 5,000 consistantly since the 10,000 mile oil change, 28,000 presently. Taking oil samples at 5,000 miles- change oil at 7,500. Dealer called and said they wanted to change the oil to the new 5-40 spec at my...

Asking of those who have used leveling kits on the 2015 Ram, EcoDiesel,1500 crew cab, 4x4 without air supspension, what have you installed and what has been the results since installation? Been told not to use anything that raises more than 1.75 inches without changing the UCA's. Raising the...
