RE: CTD 5.9 -vs- 6.7, 3.73 or 4.10 ?
To all that replied to my post,, THANKS...
Today I traded my 06 2500 Power Wagon for an 07 3500 Laramie with 5.9, 4speed-auto w/3.73 gears. Why becausemy Power Wagonwould not tow a fifth wheel down the HWY at 70 MPH without down shifting for every little bump in the road. Not to mention the 4.56 gears made for a high RPM poor gas mileage situation.
My decision to go with the 5.9 -vs- the 6.7was not so much that I was swayed by any onereply. But mostly because my local dealer was offering a substantial discount on thefew 5.9's left on the lot. And they also offered me a fair price for my trade according to KBB. After doing much checking around I have decided I can't go to far wrong with the 5.9. I also feel the problems if any with the 6.7 will not be long lived. If I could have got the same discount on one my decision would have been much more difficult. My research does show that there are currently many more after market parts available for the 5.9. That will be short lived I'm sure...
Cheers!!
