Ok so Im completely confused...Here is my situation, new 2015 Tradesman PW with 2000 miles on it.
It says I have a 31 gallon fuel tank. Im averaging 12.5-13.5mpg, thats fine but what doesnt make sense is the fuel gauge and the computer fuel range and low fuel light.
Low fuel light will come on when I have about 275 miles (50 miles to empty) on my full tank and Ive run it down to saying zero miles left each time pretty much and when I fill my tank it only fills between 25-26 gallons, SO that is leaving 5-6 gallons in the tank when my computer fuel range says Im at zero miles left, low fuel light is on for a while and the fuel gauge is pegged to as empty as it will go. 5-6 gallons left seems like a lot, what the heck? So with all this being said Im only getting 285-315 miles on a full tank but averaging 12.5-13.5 mpgs, that doesnt compute with a 31 gallon tank.
So whats the deal? I should be using more gallons before the gauge is pegged to empty, low fuel light is on and range is saying I have zero miles left to go...I should be getting 350-380 miles to a full tank, right?
Is there a chance my truck has a smaller fuel tank? Window sticker says 31 gallons.
Is my computer, low fuel light and fuel gauge all way off and maybe programmed wrong?
Normally vehicles say completely empty with 2 or so gallons left in the tank not 5-6 gallons, did Ram set theres for 5+ gallons left in the tank?
Is this the same on all your guys 6.4L PW's and the norm?
Should I take it to the Dealer and have the computer reprogrammed or something?
I had a 2013 Ram 1500 Hemi I traded in for the PW and no issues with the fuel gauge, computer, etc... on that truck, Id run it to close to empty and it would fill the correct 25-26 gallons the tank was.
Anyways, sorry so long. Thanks for any feedback.
