I am new to this forum and would appreciate any advice. I am looking into purchasing CTD as I am tired of my gutless gasser for towing. I know the 5.9 CTD has very reliable history but have not been able to locate a really nice one with low miles. I have come across a very nice 07 with the 6.7 CTD with a build date of 05/07. It currently has 40k miles. My big question is when were the first 6.7's built and are there any issues with the early ones. I will be using it to tow a 6500 lb travel trailer but would like to be able to upgrade to a large 5th wheel in the future. I have never owned a diesel so I am open to advice. Are there any specific things that I need to look at on this vehicle before purchasing it? Thanks in advance for everyones help.

 

i know 3 guys that own or owned them 1 is happy other has problems due to mods and the last had so much trouble with it he traded it off for an 06 he had no mods

 

Certain things need to fall off of them to run correctly...

Don't be afraid of a late model 5.9 with some miles on it...

Or get the newest 6.7 you can find...

 

I'm glad you took my advise over on that other site and at least your researching. An informed consumer is a wise consumer. What ever generation you decide to go with good luck in your endeavor.

 

Every website has a 6.7 forum section. Check/post there for better results.

 

Only complaint I've heard is decreased fuel milage.
