Does anyone really know what type of DPF system Ram is using? And does anyone really know how often you need to change the oil on one, or how many qts it takes? How often do fuel filters need changed?
A lot of pre disposed negative comments on the assumed higher maintenance cost for the Ram 1500 diesel. Until the owners manual comes out and someone reads it to figure out the maintenance schedule maybe we should wait to drop the hammer on another supposedly expensive diesel truck.
The fact that people buy VW's, Jeeps, Audi's, BMW's and Chevy Cruze diesels it's my guess that they're not used for heavy towing, but mostly everyday use.
Seems as though Ram would build a LD diesel truck that can preform everyday chores and not have exorbitantly high maintenance cost.
Rams putting a commonly used diesel motor in the Ram. Same one that the Jeep uses. I guess the Jeep won't be able to just be driven around town either.
