The gas mileage is 10 mpg city / 15 mpg hwy.
The front rotors have been replaced three times. The brake pads are worn out again. The truck shakes.
The dealer only puts 4 1/2 quarts of oil in during an oil change not 6 as required.
Large roomy truck with no power.
No offense, but if the rotors have been replaced 3 times in 14000 miles it might not be the truck it is probably operator error. (or cheap parts)
I agree. I have an 02 Ram 1500. The 5.9 yields no performance and is very thirsty (10 mpg). I have no gears in this truck. At 70 miles per hour, I do not even hit 2000 RPMs. I think 373s would only yield worse gas mileage yet.
I have 67,000 miles on the factory pads and rotors and get 20 mpg with the 4.7 l V-8 (in a 4x4). It sounds like driving style may be a contributing factor.
I have a 2002 Dodge Ram with the 225 V6, get 16 city and 21 highway, better than the rated amount for this truck. I have 50,000 miles on my truck and have had no problems. I am just now replacing the front pads, and they could last a little longer. I agree that the operator's driving habits, cheap parts, or sloppy repair work by technitians may be the cause. I feel that it is a great truck for the money.
I Have an 02 ram with the 4.7 liter and I have not had any problems with it, it gets 17 miles per a gallon. I think you should just try going to a different dealer to have any repairs done, try to find a fivstar dealer.
