Dodge 6.7 owners ???
 

I'm curious as to how you've found these new powerplants power output and the MPG.
I had a motor grenade in my truck yesterday and have to get a new truck immediately.
I always buy the cheapest strippy diesel dually w/ AC as the only option because I use it for work building swimming pools and a little on the side for me.
The local Ford and GMC dealers only had loaded out units but the Dodge dealer has a 6 speed manual 6.7 with built in brake controller and cruise/tilt too. It was after work today and I didn't want to dick with them so I passed on the test drive and asked for the best price.
Their out the door price at 34,500 will be more than I've ever spent before but I'd guess the price to be fair as it MSRP'd at over 39 window sticker.
Thanks for any feedback you owners may have.

See ya,
Kelly

were they 2011 or 2012?? mopar uped the hp and tq ratings on the 2012,,supposed to be a rocket over the 2011's..a friend builds tow trucks we see that the dodges have far less problems then the fords and chevys,,with a tow bed on the 2011's customers average 16 mpg around town and the trucks are rarely shut off..i see allot of his customers switching from the fords to the dodges because of the better reliability and more mpg..you wont be sorry you made the change....Btw thease trucks are the 4500 series..

Goto Spring Dodge and talk to Al Heggs, he is the owner and will hook you up an anything new or used. We have 1500 5.7's we use daily and 3 6.7's as workhorses. One is a 3500 DRW 4x4 and the other 2 are 2500 SLT 4x4's, no problems at all with any and the diesels are worked hard on a daily basis.

It's a 2011 model.
My needs really don't require a rocket just good old fashioned power, I'm always pulling a trailer with large skid loaders, mid sized trackhoes, pallets of rock/brick, bundles of rebar etc..
My last Dodge was an 03, it wasn't that powerful compared to the Ford's I used to run, but my last Ford was unreliable. It was the first of a new generation of their powerstroke.
My problem is that I don't like to purchase first gen powerplants since that experience and this 6.7 by Dodge is IMO another 1st gen powerplant.
Thanks for your input.

See ya,

the 6.7 has been out since late 07? 08..the 2012 has a new program...dodge is the only one that you dont have to put that new DFE fluid in at 11-19$ a gallon in a 5 gallon tank every 5k miles to meet the diesel emissions.

Spring Dodge is the dealership I drove into this afternoon. I interacted with Billy, the salesman, and his sales manager but I don't remember his name.
I figured I'd call the fleet sales mgr Monday at the dealership I bought the last one from for a quote and do a price comparison. It sure couldn't hurt my chances of getting a better price.
Thanks for the heads up, they seemed like a nice group.

See ya,

I thought this engine came out in late 09 for the 2010's. Do you know if this program is something that the dealership can come and flash over the original, I remember my Ford getting a reprogram 5 or 6 years ago.
Thanks again, I really appreciate the insight.

See ya,

Billy Vincent? I bought a Sport 1500 and a Jeep Liberty from him in June, he will do you right. Just tell him Larry with the :boat: and he will know who I am :coolcowboy:

The 800 ft/lb CTD has the power to pull whatever you need:drink:

Kelly...come by and drive mine......

FYI, I Plan to sell, 2007, 3500, 5.9, auto, DRW, loaded Laramie w/6600 miles. I, purchased new, no scratches, stored inside.

The P/U can be seen @ "35 Motion, Udderly Fantastic/Cat Can Do Restoration", post # 147.

The 5.9 is said to be desirable, because of Fuel Mileage, Minimum Emission components, Durability and Residual Value.

Yes, it is my understanding DFE is not used in 2011/12 Dodge. However, the particulates are flush burned by "over fueling". The amount of fuel required is said to force fuel past the rings and impact bearing and oil life.

Therefore, though we have been loyal to Dodge, owned many, have excellent dealer re-pore, a 3,500 Denali has been put in service. The Duramax is uncharted durability, because of higher torque/horsepower. Fuel mileage and DFE are annoyances.

Send me a pm with your asking price or post it here on the thread. My purchase will be a cash purchase by my pool construction company.
My biggest fear is that it'll be to well appointed for a work truck. I get into my trucks wet and muddy all the time due to the rains we used to enjoy here in SE Texas.
I've always liked rubber floors and naugahyde seats 'cause I can put duct tape over the speakers and rinse the seat/floorboard with a gardenhose and sponge when washing the truck.
Is 6600 miles correct or is it 66000???

Thanks, for the right price I'd certainly be interested regardless of the interior. I've had some trucks where I put a plastic seat cover over the cloth and big rubber floormats over the carpet.

See ya,

$35 K, Yes, the mileage is 6,600....Tinted windows, Sun Shades, Flip over Goose-neck Ball, Factory Bed Liner, Plus, 1/2" rubber mat, Trailer Control, Factory vinyl Bed rail Protector, Complete Laramie package (Leather, carpet, etc.) NEVER A SCRATCH.....This is the smoothest shifting Dodge automatic transmission I have driven.....There was a minor converter tremor starting the boat up the ramp. The Dealer and Dodge collaborated, installed a new part number modulator valve, precisely set all pressures and fine calibrated the shift body valves.( Dodge Dealer work order is included.)

Low mileage is because we have several vehicles and this one was dedicated to the boat. Engineering work load has allowed limited time for the boats, on top of the heat.

The P/U was reserved for another application that never developed.

Huskyrider,

If I were you I would just come up here and buy CcanDo's truck sight unseen. It's a 2007 5.9 and they are VERY rare as Ram came out with the 6.7 midyear 2007 and ain't NOBODY selling theirs. This is the first one I remember seeing for sale. And you just can't turn down a four year old Cummins with only 6600 miles on it. :eek:

Yes it's got leather but I would think water would run off that better than cloth...

BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
