Now that the information from last week's press event is no longer being withheld, the EPA numbers on the new EcoDiesel won't be available until Q4 when the trucks are sold.:oops:

Advantage, eTorque.

If you're in the single digits anyway, get it to speed and get off the gas. Keeping it 8-9 for longer won't help your mileage. I also choose routes for my commute that may cover a bit more distance, but have fewer stops. Boosts the mpg and there was really no difference in commute time.

...hence my concern.

Learn about the 6 functions of eTorque and then make your decision. There are quite a few threads on the subject including links to videos.

...and if the new EcoDiesel doesn't have this, it's all academic. I hated Stop/Start on my bi-turbo V6 Mercedes. The turbo lag on restarts suuuucked. Now that FCA sold off Magneti Marelli, who knows if we'll see this in a Ram.

My biggest concern with start/stop is allowing the turbo to spin down. If the eTorque application also can electrically boost the turbo, that would alleviate that concern.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I'm spoiled with the Limited.

You don't have auto-unlocking front doors and a button on the outside handle to press and lock the door? Guidance volume can be adjusted. When she's yelling at you, turn down her volume. The dash lighting can be widely adjusted by the dimmer on the dash.

As I pointed out in the article comments, those numbers don't add up. Since when is the Hemi with eTorque $300 cheaper than the Hemi without it? $3,000 can buy a lot of gas. At $2.50/gallon, that comes out to about 1,200 gallons. That's over 36 tanks on a 33 gallon equipped truck. It will...

I have the exact same version as the OP - 17Q2. Even though you have 17Q4, that update is unavailable to me.

It may be a process of elimination. Hopefully they'll get you fixed up.

Dude, sorry to hear your truck was totaled.

Some folks post helpful info, some folks post how much fun their trucks are, and some just want to complain to anyone that will pay attention. I had a front end 'clunk' and this forum was more helpful than the Ram service network. It took multiple visits to convince them the problem was the...

There are many threads for adding LED cargo and third brake lights. Reverse lights on my Limited are LED and they work well at night. I guess I could also turn on the cargo lights if I needed more illumination, but I haven't been disappointed with night performance.

Why 4WD Auto? What had you concerned about losing traction on your drive, especially at 75mph?

Word. :LOL:

Manufacturer support is only as good as a dealer's Service Dept. and technicians (think franchise). Have you tried finding a different dealer?

Getting old is fun. Those sports injuries you played through and life experiences come back with a vengeance. ;)

I get it. Most of my lower spine is fused and I like to take road trips. Pulling that heat out that's usually trapped between your back and the seat helps quite a bit at reducing inflammation.
