I recently had to replace my motor in my 2013 dodge ram 1500 sport. they put in a rebuilt motor and i have noticed I am having a hard time with fuel mileage, on my motor that came with the ram I could keep the fuel consumption at 13L per 100km, with the new rebuilt motor I am having a hard time getting it below 18L per 100km. No idea whats going on. does anyone have any ideas?

  • Welcome to the site! Was the replacement engine the exact same as the original in specification? Did they put the same transmission back in?

    Has the engine been run in? And had an oil change/ service since being refitted?

  • Did you change tire size about then as well or anything else on the drive train?

  • lots of parts on the engine have probably not been replaced with new ones,like the injectors and other external parts on the engine.

  • no the engine has not had time to be run in yet... and it is all a rebuilt motor to the same as my previous motor, no tire size change and everything stayed the same except my motor being replaced by a exact rebuilt engine as to my old one. im clueless on why its costing more in gas
