**Richard Tyler** · 03-08-2018

Hello all, brand new to "Diesels" .. at least this version .. I have a CDL A been driving for years .. but never personally owned my own pick up ... I think it's about time .. i'm a die hard Dodge/Cummins fan ... so i'm most certain this is the direction i'm gonna go .. but with there being so many generations .. what generation is the best to go for .. i'd like a newer year models, it'll be a family truck so must have quad cab and can tell you for a fact I will be getting rid of that DEF or whatever it is .. prolly a chip intake and exhaust ... that'll prolly be about it .. mostly just a nice truck .. I may get into more mods if you guys talk me into something that is worth having .. can anyone help or at least point me towards the post that's already been started that will help me??

Welcome to the forum @Richard Tyler! I'm new to owning one myself, been driving dump truck for too many years to count. Personally, I wanted a 4th generation. I had a second generation gas V10 and loved the pickup, but engine parts were getting difficult to find. The 6.7 engine, larger cab, overall appearance and comforts of the 4th gen sold me.

thank you for the response @walla2k5 ... idk if i tagged you the right way ... I do like the 4th gen .. i'm just worried about getting into the generation that has issues .. when I almost got one before i learned all about the 5.9 24v and was happy with it .. but those are old now .. any issues with you 6.7?

The only issue with the 3rd and 4th gen Cummins is the BS pollution control crapola delete that crap put in MM3 tuner from Ray at DRD best in the buisness you can run his EGRless tuning or do full delete

You got the tag right

I'm sure you've read about the recalls Dodge has had lately, but you get those with any make.

Thanks @HKBIGDADDYDIESELDAN .. so 3rd or 4th gen are both good just get rid off the emmusion control ... I'm sure it's cheaper to just run the chip .. but is full delete best? I hear if you get rid of that junk you mph gains significantly

Full delete is definitely the way to go bud but if you buy a new truck a lot of guys are worried about there warranty being null and void if you delete that’s why Ray from DRD and MM3 came out with the EGRless tuning you don’t have to remove anything you just end up turning it off but from what I understand that if you buy one with significant mileage on it your only going to be able to go to 50,000 miles is cut off point for the most part
