Looking at picking up a new 11' Dodge 2500 4x4 diesel and curious if anyone had any hookups before I went out and purchased one?

Thanks guys

Thanks guys
Traded my 07 with the 5.9 and 3.73 gears for a 2010 6.7 with 4.10 gears. The 5.9 was snappier off the line but the 6.7 feels stronger once the turbo spools up. Also lost about 4mpg with the new truck (17 mpg vs. 13mpg). Probably a combination of the bigger engine with the lower gears. All said and done: the 5.9 with the 3.73 gears was more than sufficient enough (pulling 11,000lbs) vs. the little power gain but big drop in mpg (should have stayed with the 5.9)

The diesel particulate filter is responsible for at least half your mpg loss. The 2010 is a better truck though. Better looking too IMO.

get rid of the DPF and the EGR system , the egr will cause major internal palution , also watch the oil level rise within a couple thousand miles with this stuff left on ! regenerations cause a big mess. you will gain 2-4 miles per gallon, the engine will be alot happier !
