[QUOTE="2smoke, post: 137953, member: 563"] Rez. I own a 2006 Dodge 2500 5.9 liter 325hp 600ftlb tq. Has 130,000 + on the Odometer. Ive done all the services on it that would normally be done by the dealer. Front rear diff, and the T case. Only thing I didnt do till recently was change the Trans fluid and filter. I was forced into that. There are 2 solenoids that tell the trans when and how to shift and they started to fail. Those are the only issues with that Dodge 48RE transmission. So to the shop it went. $500 later Im back on the road with bigger and better shifting Solenoids, fresh trans fluid and filter. Ok done with story time. I know you said you wanted to buy new. But 2004 and a 1/2 through early 2007 are the most desirable Dodge trucks with the Cummins. The 6.7's have had alot of issues and arent very desirable. Let me put it this way. I get about 2 times a year for the last 3 years, letters from the local area Dodge dealers saying that my year make model truck is in high demand and very desirable. We would like to buy your truck and but you in a new 6.7 of your choice or any other blah blah blah blah. So that being said. Im not telling you to not get the 6.7 Cummins. Theyve been out now for a while and Im sure that any bugs that they did have, have been worked out. But if you can get a low mileage 5.9 in the years I mentioned thats the ticket. I use my truck for everything. I pull my 28ft heavy ass 5th wheel, and my 19ft boat at the same time with ZERO issues. It has done everything Ive asked of it except get beyond realistic fuel economy. But I still see 22-24 on the freeway empty, and about 12 pulling the double trailer set up. Thats my story and Im sticking to it. [/QUOTE]
