then why are all the stickers on every pump in every state i have been to. I just moved from GA to AL, and every station in GA, and every station in Bama have those stickers on them...

Why would the stickers have to be on the pumps in those states if it were not required...Why don't the stickers in those states say 2010?

all states have gone ulsd. the 5.9 is gone december 31 2006 with the 6.7 taking its place janurary 1 2007 in all states. the dealer in georgia who says otherwise is either uninformed or just does not want to take orders and only sell what he has on his lot or what he can get quickly. sell today pay for christmas thing. and personally i would find another dealer

Already have ULSD at all the pumps here too. My dealer says the same thing...all trucks manufactured after 1/1/07 will be 6.7L. And they are a big volume dealer.

Yup, ALL states are mandated to have the ULSD after Jan 1 2007. The regular fuel will kill the emissions stuff on the new EPA Tier II engines. If they didn’t have ULSD in all states, you couldn’t drive your new truck outside of California…..LOL.

ULSD has been here in New Mexico for close to a month, or at least that's when they removed the Do Not Use in 2007 Model Stickers and added the ULSD ones. Also when my truck fuel milage dropped, started making noises, and I started with additives. That was also timely to when my local dealership put 2007 model trucks out on the lot - they had been in the back fenced area.

Dodge doesn't ever update the build and price feature until they are building the vehicle.

My zone man says ordering for 5.9's will end sometime later this month but for sure by the first of dec. 6.7 will replace 5.9 across the board on Jan-1-07. I should be able to order 6.7 in pick-ups early december, and the 6-speed auto will be available at the start of production for the pick-up. 5.9 will be gone, 48re will be gone, period.

I checked earlier today and my '07 5.9 will be here around the 20th. Got worried when I heard about the engines running out. No worries now as it is already built.
