So far I love the truck! Averaged 4.5 L/100 KMS better on the way home compared to driving my 2014 Hemi up to trade in. The air suspension is very smooth, and pretty cool! I like the limited interior more than I thought I would, coming from the Cattle Tan Longhorn leather.

Here's my first tank of fuel. This was stop and go/city driving for 30 mins, then 120 km/h on the 407 leaving Toronto, then 90-100 km/h from the end of the 407 for the next hour to home. Pretty impressive so far, considering what my mileage used to be lol. It used to cost around 80-90 to fill up from a round trip to Toronto. I filled this morning at $20 lol! So it looks like it'll be $40 to do a round trip!

I assume the 4.5L / 100 is a misprint, otherwise that would be 62.9 Imp mpg? The 29.59 imp mpg is great and the truck isn't even broke in yet. If you do a lot of highway km's you probably won't need the GDE tune. If lots of short trips tho, I would recommend it.
Could you take a side pic of your truck and post it. I would like to see the wheels. The dealer here always orders the optional cast aluminum wheels on the Limiteds. I would like to see what the stock wheels look like.
Have you considered removing the RAM letters on the tailgate? Thats the only thing I don't like about the 2016 Limited. I suspect the boys at Ram got tired of everyone referring to their truck as a Dodge and wanted everyone to know it is not a Dodge, but a RAM! I'm surprised I haven't seen a "thread" on deleting/removing the back letters.

 

Congrats! Look forward to the mods.

 

Welcome on over man! Glad to see you take the plunge on the diesel.

 

Thanks guys!

Just in time for the GTA GDE tune day.

 

Congrats on the new ride.

 

Awesome looking ride! Congrats and enjoy!

 

Thanks! As for the tune, I'm thinking I'll hold off. I was on the fence for a bit, but I decided against it for now.

I've been searching for a SPDT (On-Off-On) switch to use when my light bar arrives. Finally found the exact one I wanted on Superbright LED's website, problem was they wanted $13.50 for $4 worth of switches that could fit in a regular letter sized envelope. This prompted me to purchase a whole set of Canbus LED's for the exterior of my truck, lol. I've purchased from these guys before, even with the canbus my last Ram was picky about them, and would give "Bulb out" messages. Hopefully they've changed something so I won't have that problem again!

 

Windows 10 desktop computer. That's what I also used to upload my avatar picture and it worked fine but for some reason it rotated this one.

 

I found that when uploading from a computer it would rotate if it was a portrait picture. Landscape seems to always be fine though.

I flipped it

Thanks for that! And that makes sense since my avatar is landscape and the tire pic was portrait.

 

Installed some LED's from Super Bright LED's today! They're all canbus and so far no bulb out messages. I did the third brake lights, reverse lights, and license plate lights.

Here's what I ordered:

I didn't take any before pics, but here are all the lights in except for one reverse light. I'll take some better pics in the dark!

I also put the truck in OR2 mode for some pics. Love the look! I think some adjustable links, or home made are in my future!

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

 

Truck looks good! I want to get an adjustable hitch like yours.

 

Thanks! I love the Anderson hitch! It's so convenient to change levels for different trailers or switch from 2" to 2 5/16th.

My CTS-2 came in the mail today. This thing is so cool!

For temperatures I'm monitoring the turbo inlet temp and DPF inlet temp. Are those the two most important?

You will love the suspension. It is amazing after driving the 2016 RAM with air suspension when you get in another truck. Love my diesel but find it runs best and gives slightly better mileage on a little higher cetane rating. Love the little diesel.

Nice looking truck I like the matching painted bumpers instead of the chrome like mine

Btw did you buy it from peel dodge ? Also where did you buy that hitch
Thanks

 

Yeah I did buy at Peel, this is my second truck from them. They give amazing deals!

I bought the hitch off Amazon.ca. It's a hear old now, I love not having any rust!

Xrsman, what did the cts-2 cost you? What was the model number for that unit?

Thxs nice truck!

Picked up some 275/60R/20 Goodyear Duratracs today! I had them in 325/60/20 on my 2014 and loved them! Fantastic tire in the winter!

They are on sale at Canadian Tire 25% off. I was $1280 out the door with them. Plus since today is 20x the Canadian tire points, I got $90 back for buying the tires!

Not sure how they'll impact my mileage. My dad's truck (almost identical to mine) has them, and one night coming home he followed me. He actually got 0.1 L/100 KMS better than I did. (7.9 vs 8.0)

They look good anyway! The truck is in OR1 suspension mode.

...your gonna cost me $$$...why does that have to look so good.

 

Been thinking about peeling the RAM and 1500 off my doors. Still trying to find some fishing line. Will have to hit up the local fishing sites and check out the trees haha

 

Lol!!

like to see if the mileage stays low with those boots. Was thinkin the same route but driving long commutes, wanna keep it economical.

 

Well I was going to test that out today, but when I went to fill the tank it wouldn't let me! It's at the dealer now, so hopefully they fix it and tonight I'll be able to fill the tank!

From what I can tell so far there is little to no difference in mileage.

Truck looks great!

Sometimes I wish I stuck to the stock size tires instead of going up to a 285/65r20. But I also like the extra little lift I have (Bilsteins at 2.8", 1.5" coil spacers in the back and TLC air bags at 5psi give another inch or so) and the stock 33's looked way too small. Between the level/lift and the tires I lost about 1.5 L/100km so I average around 10.5 L/100km now. Still 4L better than my hemi got!

 

Thanks man! That's not a bad loss for a level and bigger tires!

What was wrong with the tank ?

Which dealer do you take yours to ?

 

I took it to Peterborough Chrysler. There wasn't anything wrong with the tank. What I'm assuming happened is that the second valve in the filler neck closed up while it was filling. I had the pump filling on its own while I was cleaning the windshield. The valve closing must have pushed the nozzle up a bit, because I got 24 litres in before it closed. No issues since though!
