HELP! Should I buy an 08?
I just walked out of the dealership... I can't decide if I really want an 08. I have an 06 with th 5.9 and I am happy with it but I want a dually.
What is really keeping me from deciding is the DPF and the regeneration cycles!
Can someone help me decide if I could live with the biggest flaw in the new truck...

I had the sales guy clarify the "lifetime power train"; turns out diesels are excluded so I told them I wasn't going to buy. Too much risk with the emissions on the 6.7...

I shopped carefully before buying mine. I could see absolutly no reason to jump into a 6.7. The bigger engine doesn't make the same increase in power, and certainly costs more in fuel. All those fancy emissions controls are going to be a lot of trouble. You never want to buy the first 2-3 years of anything new.

mine won't be my last, but i will not buy a new diesel. when mine goes, i will look till i find another low mileage CR 5.9. there are always those older guys that buy these trucks just cause they can. in a few years you will still most likely be able to find a low mileage 06 that's almost new.

I may not be looking to buy a new 6.7 now but I still need a dually.
If I convert mine with the stock bolt on DRW parts, I wonder what warranties
I will void...
