Default Is there a 2008 5.9 CTD?

Hi all,

Was the 5.9 diesel available in 2008? I found a low mileage Ram3500 Quadcab from 2008 and the ad says its the 5.9 blue-tec

Im from Europe, so I dont really have a big choice of real trucks

Thanks for any help

My brother-in-law is the manager of a Dodge dealership, and he told me that the last Dodge Ram with a 5.9L Cummins rolled through the assembly line in December 2006. All of them since then use the 6.7L Cummins.

unless he did and engine swap but that would be blue-tec? Sounds likes he doesn't know what hes selling.

2007, you could get 5.9L or 6.7L. All 2008's are 6.7Ls

the 6.7 cummins turbo diesel have more recalls than the 5.9 liters... if i were you, i would go for 5.9l and lot of people on this dodge forum would always go for 5.9l than the 6.7l..
