Glad to hear it! It's great to see someone posting something positive about the new 6.7. Far too often, it's only the negatives that get talked about and that can lead one to think that there are more owners who are having problems than there are those who are enjoying trouble free service from their rig (which common sense would indicate is NOT the case).

Personally, I just crossed the 10,000 mile mark with no problems to report. I do empathize with those who are having issues however. In some cases, the ******* is not being as helpful as they should be to their customers while in others, it's just a bad unit from Day 1 and doomed to the lemon law. Hopefully more owners will post their positive experiences here as well.

Thank you, with all the negative posts and problems on here I was starting to get a little worried since my folks are going to be looking at a 6.7 here fairly soon.

I am at 5,000 miles and so far so good. I am itching bad to get it chipped though, but I am holding out a little longer. I think S&B is calling my name though.

Great to hear. I'm jealous of the setup your trucks have for sure. I stuck with a 5.9 for a few reasons.
Lets see some pics of your rig. It looks friggin sweet!

A little over 5000 miles lots of mods for a 6.7 not one trip to the dealer. I think all of the flashes have changed the problems with the emmissions. You shouldnt expect to by a new truck with a new engine and emmissions and expect to have no problems at. But it is nice when it happens.

With all the bad out there, you'd think these trucks were lemons. I think that the ones whose trucks do run just fine don't say a whole lot about it. It sounds like this new emissions stuff is having some teething problems, but it's still a Dodge with a Cummins, and mine runs great.
