I live in the Southwest, but I still drive like a grandpa. I can get 28 mpg in our diesel Rubicon Gladiator if I keep the speed under 72 mph on the highway. In my opinion, I wouldn't want to drive the Gladiator much faster than 72 mph. The stock suspension gets squirrely when hitting a rough...

The weight difference between the 1500 and 2500/3500 can be nearly 2,000 lbs. It's one reason why the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is rated for up to 32 mpg on the highway. Unlike the Cummins (medium duty engine), the EcoDiesel is just a light duty engine. It's not designed or intended to have a long...

Yes, 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel.

The crazy part is having to replace the battery pack in 8 - 10 years which could cost $$$$$$. It's not a vehicle you would want to keep for 10+ years. There's a growing number of complaints already about battery packs needing replaced on the early 4xe models. Quite a few have already...

As far as I know, you're the first to report these types of problems. It means they are waiting for more feedback from Stellantis on how to proceed. It doesn't sound like you have an engine problem. I would say there's something wrong electronically. If you had a bottom end failure, for...

That's correct. My response was in regard to Mopar covering the turbo under warranty. Mopar doesn't sell the actuator by itself which is why they replace the entire turbo under warranty.

Tyler just turned 582,000 on his 2015 EcoDiesel. He's on track to turn 600,000 by the end of the year.

I don't know how many EcoDiesels are impacted, but we've seen this issue on a handful of Gen 3 engines. The turbo itself is fine. The issue is the actuator. For some reason, some actuators are defective. Owners/operators typically experience this issue within the first 50,000 miles, or when...

Even in stock form, the EcoDiesel is pretty reliable. All three of my EcoDiesels are bone stock. In 10 years, I've only been broke down twice while traveling. Both times I was still able to drive the truck (limp mode) to the nearest dealer for a repair. The first was a MAP sensor and the...

@Breadman, here's more data that shows things are turning around! Slowly but surely! FCA US Total Sales Rise 6% Year Over Year in US Third-quarter Report Jeep®, Chrysler, Ram and FIAT brands all see sales growth Jeep brand total sales increase 11% led by Wrangler, Gladiator and Wagoneer, up...

I try to do as much preventive maintenance as possible, but eventually I may have a costly repair when I'm out on the road traveling.

$285 might seem outrageous, but it boils down to supply and demand. There's not a lot of diesel techs that work on these types of applications. The folks that are paying $400 for an oil change will pay $285 an hour for diesel work. It's kind of like the folks in California that pay $900,000...

Their website says starting under $60,000. I assume that means $59,900. I also thought it mentioned a 2027 release date. That could also mean a 2028 model released in November/December of 2027.

I didn't have any updates for my 2020 Ram or 2023 Jeep, but I had an update for my 2015 Ram. I'll see if I can download it this weekend.

They do look nice. I have the factory Rubicon rock rails, but I'd like to have more coverage to help keep mud off the truck. I'll have to keep these in mind.

I'm not happy that the federal government gave Rivian $6.6 billion dollars. Some are predicting that Rivian will be bankrupt in 2 years. I'm pretty sure the government won't see that $6.6 billion. With that said, we went to the grocery store on Sunday and noticed that Rivian had installed 6...

From my understanding, he's now working with someone in Pennsylvania on the Jeep. Oh, you fell victim to the P00AF! Yes, get that turbo swapped out and you'll be back in business. 👍

Mat has been working on that for two years. Here's a sneak peak of what the oil filter adapter cap will look like.

The oils that are CK-4 rated low ash. For example, we have a guy on the Ram forum that is about to turn 300,000 miles on his Gen 3 EcoDiesel using Rotella T6.

That piece would be too big to show up in a UOA. I would take oil samples going forward.
