Thought I'd post an update for those curious. Up until recently, I was getting ~13 cty /18 hwy, no matter what I did. Flat ground, 55mph, summer gas, and I couldn't crack 20 mpg unless I was going downhill. Then suddenly at around 15k miles, I've been consistently (and easily) been getting 20+...

For those of you curious... I had a wind noise and UConnect issue that took the dealer 3 months to figure out. During that time, I had a couple of loaner Big Horns. From my own experience, and seeing the discrepancy between what others are reporting, I really think mpg varies from truck to...

I'm jealous. I've been told by both the site and the dealer that my software is up to date, even though I've had no updates since I bought my truck ~8 months ago. Maybe when I get my truck back from the shop it will mysteriously work. I also have an 8.4 with no nav, so it's good to know that a...

I'd love it if UConnect played nicely with USB for me. 85% of the time I start my truck, it defaults to track 1 of a specific album (which happens to be something like track 2,153 according to UConnect). Interestingly, I've had different results depending on different music collections, and...

Bumping this thread. Is there an official resolution to this? I've been told numerous times by the dealer that this isn't possible to fix until Ram releases an automatic software update. I currently have my truck in for service, and the loaner has the same issue. I find it hard to believe that...

Well, here's an interesting tidbit for those of you wondering why your milage is terrible compared to others. I'm now strongly of the opinion that it's the individual truck, not the driver. My truck is in the shop to resolve a wind noise issue (which they acknowledge is definitely obnoxious, but...

That's useful to know. Maybe its a bad seal in the windshield?

I don't have the morse code sound, but I've got a high pitched whistling, like the window is down a crack (it's not). Is that normal? It drives me crazy.

69 mph, flat highway, and I get 18 mpg (4,300 miles on the engine). This truck should be rated as 13 cty/ 18 hwy. Side note, I tried to attach a video, apparently the forum does not support .mp4. What's the recommended format?

My individual tanks are close enough that the gauge is still useful for on the fly accuracy, give or take 1 mpg. The problem is that beyond 1 tank the number goes to hell. 5+mpg off from reality, and changes rapidly, more than on an individual tank. My issue, is that it isn't a matter of the...

I've tried every combination of acceleration and letting off that I can think of. Eco just seems to come on randomly. I'm not convinced there aren't software glitches that need to be addressed. After noticing how hard my truck down shifts, I wouldn't be surprised. Great truck. Poor software quality.

Any known reason for this? Two dealers told me that engines don't really break in these days and that I shouldn't expect any change. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for them to be wrong... My Eco mode doesn't seem to come on for any rhyme or reason unless I'm going downhill. Yesterday I hit 75 and...

How do you know if your truck needs a PCM or TCM update?

28 instant? Wow. What do you get like 1,000 mile range on the tank? I'd love to drive someone else's truck to get a real world comparison.

You trolling us? Do you have the 6 cylinder? I have never seen my mpg that high (regardless of speed) unless I'm going downhill and/or I'm coasting. Cruise control at 55 mph flat highway, and I'm getting maybe 20mpg, less at 65+mph. That eco light refuses to come on over 50 mph.
