I would not by any used non DEF 6.7 Dodge/Cummins. Reason is low fuel mileage for those vintage trucks(07.5 - 12). My 2001.5 gets over 12 towing! So you buy an early 07 5.9 or older and get a 4 speed auto(I would opt for the 6 speed manual) or you buy one of the new DEF 6.7's!!!!

The 5.9 would not tow my camper. The first 6.7's did have some issues at first with the diesel exhaust particulate filters, but they have corrected the issue. I owned a 2007 and it is night and day over the 5.9. Keep the exhaust brake on and keep the oil/fuel/air filters clean and you will have zero issues.
