"Getting 13.5 to 14 MPG out of a 3 liter motor is punishing. My crystal ball says your motor and drive train will be junk with compression problems in the cylinders, or a blown turbo, before 120 to 150k miles.
You just can't and shouldn't run a 3.0 liter motor that hard, not in southern heat, most of the time, towing. You are asking a boy to do a man sized job. Severe overload. JMHO and YMMV... but I wouldn't blame RAM for warranty denial for you, they log everything, parameter wise, in that truck."
and this rebuke coming from someone dragging a travel trailer around the country with a volkswagen!?! hilarious!!!:)
