RAM 1500 Ecodiesel, anybody seen one in the wild?

It seems like they went underground or something. The few places I've found that actually chat about them seem to be questioning some of those great numbers. They are reporting good mileage compared...

Peak HP numbers and peak torque on gassers, are pie in the sky numbers, unless you run the motor full throttle. That is not the case with the Eco diesel, the torque is there far from full throttle, all the time, if you want it from 1750 to 2750 rpm.


It doesn't matter if it's gas or diesel. The lines you see on the power graph are for wide open throttle. If you want to match the graph output at any rpm the pedal has to be to the metal.
