How Many Miles On Your 2025+ Diesel?

Just curious what kind of miles are being accrued on the new engine, and what type of driving to get those miles..
 
I only have 2600 miles on the 2025 Ram at this time. This is my 5th Ram Cummins truck since 1999--I have owned 1996, 2003, 2010, 2017 model years. This 2025 is the smoothest and most "refined" truck. My prayer is that it is also going to be the most reliable!
 
Today, I have 14,357 miles on my truck, and I would estimate that approximately 11,000 of those miles are from towing my fifth-wheel RV. The trips have taken me from Miami to Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Washington State, and Oregon. I’ve been very impressed with this truck. I’ve owned Cummins trucks since 2001, and this one is by far the best I’ve ever had. If I maintain a speed of 67 miles per hour, I can average between 10 to 13 miles per gallon. With gas prices in Washington, every bit helps!
 
9kish. Only issues are the speed sensor intermittent causing multiple safety systems to be disabled. Some towing...made a 650 mile trip woth the cow trailer. Was 28400 for half the trip. Averaged 10.37 mpg for entire trip.
 
1400 as of July 5th.

Been broken at the dealer ever since and “I don’t know” is the only answer corporate can give regarding parts availability.


Atleast Ramcares calls to tell me what the dealer already talked to me about.

What a waste.
 
Just about 2k on odo but put the 37s on at like 1100 miles so it's higher than 2k. No towing yet. Solid mix of city and highway. Trans and exhaust brake have been awesome, power is great. Love it!

It's keeping the DPF in check just fine with my driving.

Truck wouldn’t go into park, couldn’t shut it off without pulling ecm relay. Also wouldn’t move in forward or reverse. Was diagnosed as being a faulty TCM.

Replacement TCM showed up 2weeks ago and was also faulty and no one knows anything above dealer level when asked about another TCM.

Love the truck but hating this customer experience.IMG_3267.jpegIMG_3268.jpegIMG_3269.jpeg

Any noticeable driving difference with 37’s? Are you using Tow/Haul mode?

I don't use tow haul, don't feel a need to. Truck accelerates basically the same, it will still light them up from a stop.

Only thing I noticed was braking. I could really tell at first how much heavier they are than the stock tiny ones I had. But once I got used to the pedal feel, the truck still stops fine.

Solid feedback. Thank you.

If you’re not using exhaust brake at all times, I would do so.
 
Anything worth noting, while the miles rack up?? Good? Bad?

I always use the green one. I like the passive ability to slow down. I'll turn it off sometimes in bumper to bumper traffic though.

I leave mine on even in bumper to bumper traffic and if its bad enough I will switch it over to full for max stopping power.

When I'm in bumper to bumper here it's cause lanes are ending and MFers are trying to cut in to a known exit last second. I can't have the brake kicking in and leaving too much space for degenerates.
