Drove new 6.7/68RFE today
It was a 3500 SRW with the 350/650 6.7 and 68RFE-noticed the manual shifter on the automatic and drove shifting it-I didnt even think to let it shift itself. The exhaust brake held well going down hill and slowed it down enough that I could manually downshift it to slow more. I gotta say that I was impressed with the shifting of the trans and the exhaust brake. I kinda wish I had waited, but I wanted to get the 5.9 because I know I can throw a programmer on and there isn't all the emissions stuff. But when I get a MegaCab dually it'll for sure be the 6.7/68RFE combo. Y'all with these trucks are gonna love them!

Yea I drove on yesterday and I was impressed. That is a heck of a truck. I got the boost up a little at a stop light and let it go. It boiled the tires sideways for fifty feet. That jake was awsome to. That will be my truck real soon.

I drove a Mega Cab Laramie 6.7/6sp Auto 4x4 yesterday.
Came out of the dealership, and it spun the tires, which caught me off guard. The exhaust brake is a very nice addition to the package.
Its like others have said, it seems that the 5.9 is a tad bit more responsive, but the 6.7L has a wider power band, probably mostly due to the 6 gears now instead of the 4 of before.
But at 52K..........will not budge off price....and wanting to give me 14K for a mine.....eh, its not that nice of a truck.

OUCH !!!
Man, my paid off 2004.5 is looking better and better every day. I think I'm going to go give it a bath. Maybe even vacuum out the inside.

No, because the 0% is only on the 2006's.
Dodge has 5.9% on 60 months, but anything over that is at "bank rates", and as for rebates its $2500 bucks.
Gonna stop by Towbin tomorrow (ya know the "King Of Cars"
), and see what they story is.

In my area it is also crazy. They want a ton of money for one. I'll keep the one I have thank you!!!!!!! Just makes mine worth more money but they won't give in to that.
