Cummins 5.9L vs 6.7L
I'm considering buying an 08 Mega Cab, 4x4, w/ 6.7L Cummins. The only guy I know that owns a Cummins has 2 3500 quad cabs w/ 5.9L. He says to stay away from the 6.7L because it has lots of problems. I'm wondering what others thing of the 6.7L. I'd be using for pulling my tractors and RV around not for real work. Does/Will it have the duribility of the 5.9L.
