Good Morning To all, im a new Member i Own a 2019 2500 Larmie, My First Diesel.

I have a question what kind of miles are you getting out of your Def tank? i have 4300 miles and i've gone through 5 gallons. i don't tow. and i drive about 100 miles a day 1/3 of those stop and go traffic. I talked to a fella over the weekend who siad hes getting like 9,000 miles out of his tank. His comment made me wonder if there is an issue with my truck

Holy smokes! That's incredible. On my 19 I go through roughly 5-gallons every 4 or 5 fill ups.
You must be towing frequently. Assuming 25-30 gals per fill up, that's about 4-5 percent DEF to fuel consumed. I'm only ever at that usage rate while towing. Unloaded about one percent DEF to fuel burned.

I have 3.2k miles on my '19 Laramie. I've filled it once with 2.5 gal when I got a about half empty and am about to hit half empty again in about another 600 miles, so ill fill it again for a total of 5 gallons in about 4k miles. I'm in the same boat as the OP, I drive about 100 miles per day and about 1/3 of that in stop and go traffic, and not towing.

Something has to be wrong. Or your towing all the time. That’s a lot of def. I have 5000 miles on my 2018 2500 and prob 1/3 of that was towing. I haven’t used that much def. not even close.

My first trip thru the mountains i got 435 miles per gallon.
1/2 of that was hauling the camper.
Thats about 3% def to fuel

I did not measure usage on my eco-diesel but it was MUCH less
