Thank you all for the constructive posts. Just to clarify, this ISN'T a what truck is best kind of post. I'd simply like to know about the common issues to each model and what to watch for. And thank you all for telling me about this.
So the 2013+ Cummins 6.7's went to a DEF system and that seems to be more reliable and get better mileage. Were the 2007-2012 problematic? 2008-2010 they all had emission related issues. 2011 MY forward is what you what to shop for. Even then Ram waited till 2013 to use DEF or SCR emissions.
I've found a few 2011-2012 6.7 PSD's around me for a good price, but the mention of the high pressure pump issues spook me out a bit. Are the issues random? Yes pretty much a small percentage for Ford and GM. But the earlier 2011-2012 I would avoid as those seem to have a higher ratio fail rate than the newer MY's.
Thanks again.
