I finally got my own truck!!!

I'll be brief because I want to go for another drive, I HAVE MY OWN DIESEL!
It's a 2007 5.9L Quadcab longbox 3500, single rear wheels. Everything is stock but it does have a Jake brake. Had 79899 kms on it. Runs great and milage seems really good so far. Gotta go DRIVE

Congrtatulations!!!! There is no substitute for driving your own truck, listening to that Cummins purr and grinning from ear to ear!!


Now you better hang on to your wallet, because if you hang out around here very long you will become addicted to "modifying" your truck like us other junkies...

Answers to your questions: Yes, it's a Canadian truck. (I'm living in Canada now). No D.P.F. delete required as it has the 5.9 not the 6.7. The truck has the 48RE automatic and I think that will be my first up-grade.

On a side note, the intercooler on this truck seems much bigger than on the newer 6.7's. I wonder why?

Congrats. You lucked out getting an 07 5.9... last of the great motors.

What's on the list for mods?

After doing some towing with it yesterday, I would really like to improve the transmission. It seems the engine needs to rev pretty high to get a heavy load moving, but once the torque converter locks up, it really pulls well. I'm really happy with everything else.
