I'm curios about the 6.7.

Been sitting here in my 5th wheel today while it's raining outside.

I've been seeing some 2007 Dodge trucks for sale. Some have the 5.9 and some have the 6.7. If you were buying one, which would it be? The 5.9 or the6.7? Have you heard of any consistent problems with either one?

Not that I would ever consider changing brands.:W

    I ordered my 2007 at end of 2006 so I could get the 5.9L as it was a proven reliable platform......never want to be 1st year guinea pig for new engine/controls.
    We were going FT and I didn't need that worry or headache.....same reason I didn't go with a FORD at that time

    The 6.7L went thru some 'learning curves' (software programing) and some turbo/variable vane exhaust braking issues. Replacements and cleaning ports installed along with operating procedure changes (leaving EB ON all time)
    Were among issues I heard/read about.

    In time the 6.7L has gained in popularity and reliability.

    Still would go with my 5.9L :B
