Alright guys .... lets talk it up.

Whats great about the Cummins
What sucks about the Cummins --- and be honest all vehicles these days have a suck factor or two at least.
Will the 06 rear lenses fit .. I hate those 07 lenses.
What would you pay for this truck ? 31k is kinda high in my book .. was thinking more like 25k

all input welcome.

I think it's a little overpriced. There's an 07 Dually 3500 with 30k miles on my dealers lot right now with $29,500 on the window....

Dodge front suspensions are not the strongest around. and that trans isn't the best out there either. it's not exactly a problem per say, but it's no alison.

there are some interior issues, like the HVAC blend door crapping out, which is either a very expensive or very time consuming repair. seat might lose cusion, but we have fixes for that in the FAQ.

from my understanding, the lights from an 04-05 will not wire right into an 07. the 06 might just work. but you can do some wire splicing and get them on there if its not a straight job. might as well go aftermarket anyway.

The 48re is probably the only real weak point in the 5.9's. The 5.9's and 6.7's each have there own quirks. Are the new 6.7's fixed up yet? I think the best way to fix em is DPF Delete

Different truck wiring for the 02-06 vs 07/08. The 02-06 use 2 red bulbs for parking, turn and brake lamps, 07/08 only have one bulb that does all 3.

Might be a little over priced, but like said before, that 5.9 engine is tough as nails..It's worked great for like 20 years or so, the 6.7 isn't my choice, but its still ok.
