new truck 2013

[fossum99]

just bought a 2013 dodge ram 2500 Cummins Laramie Longhorn edition with 31,000 miles and 1100 total engine hours. Took over my dads loan from him just passing away last month. I hope this truck will serve me in the long run and keeping it stock tell warranty is off  . Will be selling my 1999 dodge ram 2500 if anyone is interested in it.

Sorry to hear you lost your father.

 

Have fun with the new to you rig.

 

We still need to meet up one of these days.

Biggest thing to remember is to avoid idleing, use your exhaust brake all the time, and to use the manual high idle if you have to idle. Your miles to idle hours is a little high (28 miles for every hour) so try to work on cutting that down

For a farm rig in ND that is actually pretty good. I like to check these numbers a lot too and find that usual daily drivers that do see a bit of road time run in the low to mid 30's. My 2010 Hemi was right on 40 last time I checked a couple months ago which is the highest I have seen on rigs I have figured miles to run time in my area.

Ya and that actually doesnt take in to account high idle enabled times. The only way to find that is with a star scan and look at load percentages

Oh I forgot, efilive just released tuning for the 2010-2015s today. It could get interesting

high idle is engaged to 1100 but can go higher if needed to be up to 1500 it says. and exhaust brake only works tell 40 mph when slowing down with no trailer.

Actually when you idle the vanes shut putting a load on the engine. Its hard to hear until you do an emissions delete then you can really hear it

[fossum99]

ah ok I will have to do that then at idle.

well got to messing around with loans last week we decided as a family to sell the 2013 to make more money and then I got free rein to buy a different vehicle and bought a gasser and keep the old 99 for fun. got a 2006 gmc 1500 sle with 4 in lift and tire and rims. will post pics in the gmc/chevy section this week.
