Fuel Economy Update for March - 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Long-Term Road Test
With nearly 30,000 miles on the odometer, our long-term 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is still surpassing its combined EPA estimate of 22 miles per gallon.

If there were some compelling reason to post out of chronological order, like in order to set up a particular storyline, etc., I could understand it. But this is just confusing...why hold a post about March fuel economy, especially one that was apparently composed BEFORE March even ended (as evidenced by the odometer readings above), until April 14?
The post about adding DEF? That was on 4/13...with the odometer showing 27,941 miles...so that actually occurred on maybe March 27 or 28...? That was held for over 2 weeks because...who knows?
For the verdict on the clicking noise, they said on March 31 that the vehicle was due for service "soon" (probably @ 30k miles) and they would report on it at that time. And even if they write that post in realtime, when they get the truck back from the dealer, they may not post it in realtime.
I wrote the fuel economy update based on all the miles driven in the month of March -- publishing date basically has nothing to do with that. There were a few other updates ready to go up before the fuel economy post was written.
We haven't had the clicking noise addressed yet but we'll update as soon as we take it in to the dealer for service. Hopefully that helps clear things up.
