Adding DEF, Breaking Down the Cost - 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Long-Term Road Test


Our long-term 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel needs diesel exhaust fluid from time to time and finally we found a pump to fill it up from.

You are correct. All parts, from what I read, were covered by the warranty. However, this instills very little confidence in owning this truck long term. My neighbor has 2 Dodge Rams; much older than this one but both are utterly falling apart. There are a litany of issues ranging from transmission failures, wrinkling chrome foil on the grill, to IPs disintegrating.
Don't get me wrong the EcoDiesel intrigues me but true long term ownership is still a mystery.
BTW-seems like VW had/has the same issue with their fuel delivery systems in the TDI models. There have been many instances were the entire fuel system was replaced (sometimes at owner expense) due to HPFP failures. Seems more durability testing is needed!
