Hello everyone, I am updating my question, so please read on. I just bought a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab 4x4 with the 5.7 ltr Hemi. First question is How long is the Break in? and what type of mileage might I expect. Right now I have just over 550 miles on it. The first tank I averaged 12.8 mpg. Will it get better with more mileage on it?

Hi! Good to have you aboard with us! Mine get's between around 13-16 miles but I don't have a hemi though.

Welcome to the boards, you will be Grumpy when you see your gas mileage will not go above 14mpg (on average)

Enjoy your Truck.

 

I'm getting about 14 mpg combined city\highway.

 

Well Thanks I will take 14 and be happy because my Silverado only got 12 if I was lucky. So 14 sounds pretty good.

My '03 Hemi Ram gets mid 13's typically. If I can keep my foot out of it (which is rare) I've gotten low 14's. That's about it. Mine's a quad cab 4X4 3/4 ton- depending on what yours is, that may affect it.

 

Welcome to DF!! Hope to see you around here lots!
