Hey fellas,

I have an '08 RAM 1500 4x4 with the Hemi. It's been a very good truck with very few problems.

I use it for work and may need to replace it for a new business write off.

I also have a 2013 VW Jetta sportwagen TDI. The fuel economy is spectacular at 50 mph on the highway.

I've seen the ads on TV and the truck sounds interesting. A friend who follows auto forums told me that there are reported problems with the how the diesel vapors are recirculated and utilized. I believe it has something to do with problems with the emissions systems. He said there are reports that there are known problems with this engine.

I don't know anything about it. What can you fellas tell me about your experiences with this ecodiesel engine. And how many miles have you put on it?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies

I also keep my vehicles for a
Long time. The Hemi Ram 1500 has been very good. I can nurse it to almost 20 mpg on flat Long Island highways. But whenever I tow a 3 position loaded Atv aluminum trailer upstate my gas mileage is terrible @ 10 or 11 mpg.

How much are the 1500 RAM ecodiesels going for loaded? 4 door w/ 6' bed. Just trying to get a basic idea.
Thanks for all the helpful information
