    Anyone switch to K&N filter and notice a mileage increase? Wondering if it’s worth the little extra.

  6. RAM 1500 Diesel Purchasing
    So my car is wearing out (a 2004 Hyundai Elantra with 210K on it. I am in process of selling my house and moving to a more rural area with more property, so I have decided that I need to replace it with a truck. . Initially I was looking at Toyota Tacoma's because I don't really need to tow...
  7. RAM 1500 Diesel General Discussion
    Hey Everyone, I'm looking for a few users of GDE to provide some basic info and data on their fuel economy results. Ultimately I'm hoping to gather up some real world data to influence my decision on buying the GDE tune and report back to the forum so others can make a more informed decision...

  9. RAM 1500 Diesel Tuning
    I drive highways a LOT for work. Whether I'm doing 80 or 65, the truck just does not wanna stay in 8th, and only stays about 20% of the time when doing 80 if I'm lucky, on very flat roads or downhill. When I'm doing 65 it is a lot better, but SOON as I start going up a hill, or need to give it...
  10. RAM 1500 Diesel Tuning
    How do I do this? I do not want to have to order anything crazy expensive. Also, dealerships will only change it to a factory spec size tire. Mine are larger than anything they offer from the factory. Guess it's saving miles on my truck, thanks Ram! Also, how would I figure my gas mileage...
  11. RAM 1500 Diesel Towing & Hauling
    I recently towed my 31' Travel Trailer (~8400 LBS) back and forth between New Brunswick, Canada and Florida. It was quite a trip, 3800 MI Round Trip. The truck worked great, rolling at 60-65 MPH. Anything more than that got a little scary with swaying. Averaged around 12.7MPG. Used cruise...
  12. RAM 1500 Diesel Tuning
    Aloha, Just installed GDE tune. Thank you for the clear instructions and all the valuable information posted on this Forum. It went in quite easily without issue given its somewhat cramped. I think that I will hang on to the ECM for a couple days to ensure it is running as it should prior to...
  13. RAM 1500 Diesel General Discussion
    I am a new owner and forum member. I have to ask, every single mod I read about claims more MPG....If I did them all, I should be getting 50MPG. Are there any legit ones or must do out there? Specifically, highest return for the $ invested and preferably those that wont potentially void a...

    So I have only had my truck for a few weeks. 2015 1500 crew Last weekend we took our first trip towing our 17foot Casita camper. about 3500 pounds. The route was pretty hilly and one 20 mile sections of small very steep driving up and down. Truck performed amazingly well. The entire trip was...
  15. RAM 1500 Diesel General Discussion
    Hi all, I have been following the real time mpg readout on the EVIC for the last several tanks. Turns into a fun game trying to improve my mpg on my commute. I realize the avg MPG on the EVIC is a compilation of the last several hundred miles. However, I've also been tracking my mpg on Trip...

    Over the weekend, Ive had to make some trips into Winnipeg, to the RBC Convention Centre, all on the same tank of Fuel. My truck was packed...full of people. 2x adults, and 3x kids aged 6-12. This is our first road trip for 2015 that 4WD Auto was Not on, and 2wd was. Saturday, I filled up in...
  17. RAM 1500 Diesel Battlefield
    So, this morning, I'm mixed. I just dumped a "whopping" 18.5 gallons of gasoline in my 08 tundra that has, by and large, treated me pretty good and done what I've asked it to do...faithfully. MPG's and Toyota being behind the ball on new technologies to improve fuel consumption have me trading...
