Ram 3500 MPG test
The Ram MPG test video. Wasn't expecting that big a difference.

Wish I had a couple of the pics of the trucks I had up on the slope.
Mine had the least hours of any because it basically only got used by me, single shift and more office time than most.
When I turned it in, it had just over 2000 miles on it and right at 1000 hours. Of those 1000, only a little over 100 hours WASN'T idle time.
The 5500 crew trucks had between 3000-4000 hours and also averaged about 1 mile per hour overall with 90%+ being idle hours.
And FWIW, never replaced 1 DPF or SCR. Did have 1 of the 5500s so plugged up though that I ran out of manual regen attempts in the software and had to re-program it as if it had received a new dpf and then several more regens before it cleared up! That and a bunch of cracked def injectors. Think they'd not clear out and freeze, because it was a semi common occurrence. You'd pull up and there'd be a truck idling, literally with a p!ss-cicle hanging off the tailpipe and a frozen puddle of def on the ground.
