If your looking at that kind of mileage then full delete 4” or 5” FloPro TBE Exhaust and MM3 custom tunes from Ray at DRD it is and he is the best in the buisness and you’ll have to do a tuner there is no such thing as a chip on a Cummins bud :cool:Quote:

Well that's what i meant @HKBIGDADDYDIESELDAN... gexz ???? is that sorta millage alright to be looking at .. these things run forever right
Do you live in an area where you need vehicle inspections? Could ultimately impact your decision about deleting emission components. Folks run these rigs until the wheels fall off, with or without deletes.
Hello and welcome @Richard Tyler [emoji4]
Enjoy our forum !
I’ve had both the 3rd gen 5.9 (2006) and loved it, no emission crap ( I had it straight piped with a Smarty Jr tuner and all was happy [emoji4]) and I’ve owned 2 4th gen 6.7’s. If your looking for a newer truck you have options, from 2010-2012 6.7s still have emissions but NO DEF, you can delete the DPF/tune your truck and be good to go, from 2013 and up is DEF nightmare (my opinion). Like all said above, it comes down to YOUR personal preference... what it is you want down the road... most Cummins owners want longevity/reliability. with proper care and pm’s these engines can go for a very long time. I know of the 5.9’s could go an easy 500,000 miles with proper care and maintenance, I haven’t heard of any 6.7’s yet that hit that mark but I’m sure some are close ! I’m sure others will chime in and give their opinions [emoji6] GOOD LUCK on your decision and hope to see you soon with your Cummins [emoji106]

@walla2k5 /// that's what I figured .. that's how long i'll have her I just want the least amount of problems .. i.e. expensive bone rattling shop costs .. I'd hope most anything needing done I could do most myself ... or have someone in the yard that could help me out ... and yes .. i'm in Forney Texas ... we have emmisions on inspection .. but theres ways around that @cumminsbadgirl .. something around 2006 sound like my speed .. that and I know a bit about the 5.9 ... i highly doubt i'll be getting anything newer than a 2013 unless otherwise convinced .. I know there pricey .. I guess I want the least pricey and most efficient and reliable generation? If that even makes sense :/ ... is the newer 6.7 in a 2010/2012 the way to go? or scale it back to a 5.9?
If your gonna want to run a tuner you’ll have to go with the 4th gens to use the MM3 tuner from Ray of DRD as in he only tunes the 4th gens if your in the 3rd gens you can only use the Smarty tuners which are good for that gens Simple fact your looking at a Cummins the best and only Real Diesel they put in a pickup truck yes they pretty much last forever if you take care of them the 5.9 have gone to 1 million miles the 6.7 are just a little bigger bore and stroke but the same motor as the 5.9 if you get rid of all the pollution control BS they will run just as long :rockon::cool:Quote:

They said the 2006 was the last of the good year due to the 6.7’s coming out in 2007 then when I had the 2012 they said that was the last of the good year due to DEF coming out in 2013, I have a 2014 and will never get rid of her.
