I will give you an update after the emissions update on truck is reprogrammed. Massive recall due to emissions standards lawsuit against RAM. When I dropped it off yesterday for a 3-hour hey here's your rental car cuz it's an all day process, the only thing they said was plan on your mileage going down. Such BS. Then fix it and then adjust your tune to maintain same mileage. I'll tell ya what, if it plummets I'll be looking for a new vehicle. This was primary reason I bought the truck was for getter mileage. I just signed up for mine today, will have to see what I hear. I wouldn't be too worried about the mileage, we will be getting the same tune that the 2017 and 2018 trucks are running, they are reporting the same fuel mileage numbers the 2014-2016 trucks were. There have been little to no changes in the drive line of these trucks, it should be fine.

Something similar happened with Fords 6.7 in 2012, they reprogrammed mine to regen more often and it look about 1.5 mpg off my truck. I knew I shouldnt have let them do it, but I was hoping for the best.

Grout, if they wouldn't be offering an extended warranty and $3,000+ I wouldn't be getting the update but they are.... so I am.
Did ford pay you anything in 2012?

Did ford pay you anything in 2012? Hell NO! Lol I think Fords was a voluntary thing, or might have been voluntary so that the EPA wouldnt bust them up, I dont know. I just know this dang truck has been almost flawless with shop time, 1 sensor went out and it was covered by warranty. Really horrible fuel mileage, but the truck just keeps running flawlessly. I almost wish I had an excuse to get rid of it because of the fuel mileage being so bad.

Mine is still running like a champ. Taking the travel trailer to tennessee a week from today. Couldn't be happier with it.
I get 28-29 mpg going to work and back. 11-13 mpg towing the trailer, 18-21 mpg towing the bass boat

Gotta have it re-flashed before they will mail you a check, thats the incentive to get it done. From everthing I've heard your fuel mileage will go anywhere from staying the same to getting 1-2 mpg worse and the turbo lag in the pedal gets quite a bit worse, other than that AEM reprogram seems to be working fine.

I called dealer back and the pedal lags for sure. They said never had anyone complain about it. If it continues I will tell them to fix it.

San Antonio area Ram Diesel owners. Just bought a 2015 Ecodiesel. Got a 24K mile dealershipr warranty with it. What Dodge dealership in the San Antonio area have you had the best experience with?
