Acceptable Oil Consuption

Dodge Ram 2500 6.4 engine - At 1,000 miles, I notice that the oil was about 1/2 a quart low, checked again at 2,000 miles - full 1 quart low. I put a quart of 0-40w synthetic oil. Again at 3,000 miles - 1/2 quate low and at 4,000 mile had to add another quart. Dealers tell you the recommended oil change interval is 6000 miles between oil changes however, they do not tell you about oil consumption (based on Ram's "Acceptable Oil Consumption" maintenance notification - one quarter every 2,000 miles at over $10.00 per quart is within their accepable level). That only applies if you have less that 50,000 miles, after that, it's one quated for every 750miles. Love the truck - hate the oil consumption. Buyer beware - ask about any Dodge or Ram models there maintenance flier regarding "ACCEPTABLE Oil Consumption" - its the same.

Firestone about these tires these tires absolutely sucked they were out at 10,000 miles my back tires are actually down to wear bars at 10,000 miles do you have this problem with your new truck if you do Firestone does not back them up they send you to the dealer and put it off on them telling people prop that it's the problem of a dealer not them this is a very expensive truck at work very hard to pay for it and I should not be having these Tire problems at 10000 MI and let the dealer know cuz Firestone does not back their products up

Why you should not buy a ram heavy duty pickup

Bought a 2016 ram 2500 diesel brans new. This was my first ram after owning ford heavy dutys for years. Will never buy another one. Only got 22k miles out of tires. At 40k had to put new rotor, caliper, and pads on front. Cruise contol stopped working after 40k. I understand things wear out but you pay over 50k for a truck and this is all you get. When the breaks stated making noise at 30k the service guy tells me it a ram and sometimes they squeak! So i let it go, now I’m out 800 bucks because the driver caliper hung up and I’m out of warranty on the brakes. I will never own another Ram product, ever!!!!!!
