service electronic brake system
Hello all
This is my first diesel truck. I have worked on big diesel engines but nothing this small. I bought this truck a month ago and I have driven it from Ga to Va (466 mi), Va to Ga (475 mi) had a detour. I burned a half tank of diesel fuel one way. It is safe to say the millage is ok. I got 24 miles on the highway and 22 miles in the city, no towing. A lot better mileage than the charger srt8 I was driving and no stopping to fill up. I arrived in VA and got the "service electronic brake system". The truck handles very well and the ride is extremely comfortable. I took the truck back to the dealership and it was diagnosed with a defective vacuum pump. It will be installed tomorrow. I will give you the 411 on the results. So far I am happy with the truck. It has good passing power but I ran against a tundra and lost. I will need more hp and speed. Sense I am new to diesel trucks, I now torque is KING when it comes to diesel engines. As for the Def system, I am in the learning process. I used a half tank of Def in 3130 miles. Dodge a.k.a. Ram is going in the right direction in setting the standard for diesel trucks. The truck needs a few upgrades such as a locking fuel door, once piece aluminum wheels, DVD player, cb radio. In the meantime, this will be my daily driver.
