    How heavy/big of a 5th wheel? Generally 3500 SRW are much better for 5th wheels vs 2500's.

  • As has been stated, no DEF and the older style frame. Be aware that pre DEF 6.7 Cummins has a lower MPG than the DEF versions... usually 2-3 MPG worse. Lower HP and torque than a newer model as well. For the right price its a great truck, but don't overpay because of the Cummins name...
  • My only concern is with knowing whether or not it's been tuned and driven to near death.

    Those years are also candidates for death wobble. There is a 200 ish dollar kit that resolves the issue though.
  • No Def on that year. They have a dpf system. Great truck as long as no one has deleted it and run it to death.
