One more odd thing - the DPF filter gauge display shows 0% and has not change from 22miles to today. Truck has not ever "Regened" to my knowledge.
Thank you all for your responses. 970 miles and she feels like she's just starting to loosen up a bit, power has improved from 22 miles, I'll change the oil this week to get the breakin garbage out maybe differentials as well.
1st tow is coming up next week, 8k# 500 miles, love the RAMBOX!
The Aisian trans does make a squeak noise on 3-4 upshift 38-44mph or converter lock(not sure which) but I don't really care, and its not the smoothest shifting trans but on a HD truck its great. The tech is awesome and comfort also top notch, RAM really killed it. They did fall down on 2 things - Towing Tech group - the truck was advertised as being able to read trailer Tire pressures - it can't without additional module being installed and rear view trailer camera also needs dealer wiring install & is not available at this time. I guess they got a little ahead of themselves but hopefully they will make it right and install the stuff without charging us more- we'll see.
The only actual real issue is the terrible throttle response which is much better when rolling into the throttle vs flooring it, FYI - turn off "hill assistance", turn off "traction control" both seem to help a little.
Average mileage unloaded - 14.7
RamIT - I've only hit full throttle 2 times, I do average 75-85mph highway and the turbo is boosting a bit(8-12PSI at speed, 1800-2100rpm, 3.73rear), similar to the 7.3PSD. I always take it easy on the first 2K miles. I don't think the DEF usage is over eager throttle usage, around town I drive like an old lady. 14-15ish MPG(according to the PCM, I have not measured and have heard the computer is optimistic). I only have 50 miles since RAM did the PCM update which is supposed to help excessive DEF usage.
I am very happy with it, hope she keeps improving and again - THANK YOU ALL - its really great to have a resource like this to talk about the truck!!
