Hi Everyone-
Just got a 2023 2500 CTD two days ago. I absolutely love this truck. Have about 300 miles on it mixed highway and in town. Today while I was driving, I felt like the engine got a tad quiet, lost a bit of power, and my mpg dropped from 16.5 to about 13-14.
I took it to the dealership and they initially said it might sound a bit quiet, but was normal after checking everything out and test driving.
After driving for a while more on highway home the engine’s sound came back closer to normal, but still seems a tiny amount quieter than driving it off the lot. MPG hasn’t come back to what it was yet.
Was this the truck trying to go through regen? I didn’t see any light indicating it.
This truck will be my daily driver, I currently commute to work on highway about 25 miles a day. It will also haul a 30’ TT on some weekends in spring and summer, and take us up to the mountains year round.
Honestly I’ve always wanted an HD diesel and thought I would give it a go. I’ve read a ton of forum posts but want to get some more advice on keeping this truck running well. Prepared to do all the necessary maintenance. I plan to get it going hot on longer highway trips every weekend or so when not towing, take the wife on a day trip or something.
Thanks for the help!
