Just got a 2007 RAM 2500 with the 5.9 Cummins. First two tank fulls, I averaged 19.2 - 19.3. Since then mileage has steadily gone down. Am at 17.2 - 17.4 now & falling. This is a combo of highway & around town towing nothing (yet). For some reason, the truck is holding gears longer, even when I let up on the gas, which I think is causing the mileage decrease. The trans (48RE) shifts fine otherwise, except for a bit of a clunk from 1 - 2. No mods have been made to the truck whatsoever. Currently has 2600 miles on it. Has anyone experienced this yet? Any ideas? I was told by a Dodge guy that the PCM controls the trans. So maybe it needs to be reflashed by the deealer? If so, that makes me wonder what pushed it our of whack in the first place. The only strain at all on the truck to date has been 30 minutes of wheelin' in the local sand pits just to see how it would do. (Went up a 25' sand pile no sweat that stopped an F350 Powerstroke cold. Nice.) Otherwise, that's it. Thanks in advance for your time on this.

Replying to: bandi7 (Aug 23, 2007 10:18 pm) First, it is always much more helpful when you're seeking advice or information to include the year, model, engine, transmission, 2-wheel drive or 4x4, mileage, etc., information of the vehicle. I'm really unsure of the item your trying to describe. If you have an idea of what is missing and where it goes, I would recommend that you go to a Dodge dealer. At this point they are the best bet for helping you. Good luck and best regards, Dusty |

Replying to: dieseldoug (Sep 20, 2007 12:09 pm) I'm not a mechanic, or a Cummins guru. But I do own an 06 3500 with the CID. I stop by my dealer from time to time to shoot the breeze. About a month ago I was in asking him about the 07's. He said the one problem they have had was a flash update needed to be done with regard to a "particulate burn frequency" with the new Cat-back emission control stuff on the new ones. He said they would begin dropping mileage at first (sound familiar) and some guys even had to have them towed in as they would stop running altogther. He said those were the guys who left them idling for long periods of time which clogged the cat-back. He said getting on it real good here and there has help some of them too. If you haven't visited your dealer for a flash update, it might be worth the inquiry. Good luck...Titanium29 |

| I just bought a 96 Ram 1500 SLT and have not had problem with the transmission till today. when i started driving it throught the neighborhood it shifted fine till i got the the first stop sign then when i started going it shifted hard into second gear but then it didnt do it for the rest of the day? so is it just because i should of let it idle for a couple min before i got on my way or wht.. its a 5.2 l. | |
I got a 98 dodge ram that won't shift from 1st to second gear. I tried changing sensors but nothing seems to work. Any suggesions?
