Buying an 07 2500 this Weekend

Any suggestions? I'm going with the 5.7 vs the 6.7. mainly because they don't have any in white and I have been hearing of some problems with the 6.7. Any other things I need to look for?

make sure you know what incentives are available to you.

right now in the northeast we have $3500 cash or 0% for up to 48 months, then i think 5.9 % for 60 months.

I'm buying from Dave Smith in Kellog ID. Whole sale dealer. So far I'm down to a little over 28K before trade-in or down payment. I'm shooting for an 84 month so I can keep my payments down

I suggest going with a 5.9 instead of a 5.7!

the 5.9 has no annual smog requirement, no regen crap and uses the standard motor oil, the 6.7s use a different type. The 6.7s have big coffee can/collectors hanging below the frame rails.


Can anyone verify?

What are the specs on your truck for 28K? I looked at some tonight and didn't see anything that cheap.

Do you mean the 5.9?????? I hope so. I can't imagine picking a 5.7 mainly because they don't have a 6.7 or a 5.9 in white. Wow, that cracks me up! Good luck with your new rig.
