I spent over $1000 and alot of work and research getting the stuff off, but decided the voided warranty and risk of getting caught wasn't worth it.
If it wasn't for that I would still have that truck instead of this one. That engine could pick up the hemi and throw it!

I would stay with the truck you got picked out with preferably 3.92 but 3.55's alright. Your not going to tow it much and you will get better gas mileage.

i've always driven either a powerstroke or cummins, i went through the same ordeal in 2006 with a new cummins and ended up returning it because of the horrible mpg, amount of problems i had caused by the emission regulating equipment, and other problems. If you're not too caught up with a new truck, find yourself a 7.3l Powerstroke or a 5.9L Cummins, they can still be found in excellent condition
