Best year for 3rd Gen.

I sold the truck in my sig. about 3 months ago and I drove my sister inlaws 07 5.9 auto last night and I didn't sleep worth a hoot, withdrawl! What are the best 3rd gen. years? I came from puttin up with several lift and injection pumps, no suspension woes, I was very kind to my truck.

07 5.9 because it has the 610 and you can possibly get the updated 6 speed and non faux wood on the dash.

It's also the newest and I own one!

I owned an 07' QC Hemi 1/2 ton and now own a 05' QC Cummins. The differences in the interior quality and materials used between these two trucks is almost shocking.


The 05' reminds me of my old ladies new VW GTI. Thick and looks sdoft to the touch with some type of graininess pressed into it. The 07' was quite simply the worst example of interior materials I have had in a vehicle. Didnt keep me from owning one but it sure was a "Decontenting" issue between the years!!!
