Still stock with all the original equipment. I would buy the same truck I have again if I had to do it over.

If my new orders put me in California, Id have to say I wish I kept my 5.9. But other than that, I love my 6.7 and wouldnt trade it for anything.

It depends on what criteria that one is using to judge really. I love my 6.7, but hate the emmissions. However, at this time, the emmissions have been handled easily and I would say no contest as I love my 6.7. Without the emmissions, I think the 6.7 just does everything just as good and better. Otherwise, it is a give and take between the two comparing the emmisions ladden 6.7 with the 5.9.

Those 4th gens are sweet! I would certainly buy another 6.7!

I like my 6.7. Its hard to compare to anything else as its totally different to my 97. The creature comforts and the engine extras like the exhaust brake make it much more enjoyable to drive. It would take a lot for me to ever switch brands with all the issues I see with the V8 crowd.

iv'e had both a 02 5.9.and an 09 6.7.i'm very happy with the 6.7,although i have to say i think the fit and finish of the interior were better on the 02.less rattles and wind noise than the 09.however,power and exhaust brake in the 09 give it a hands down advantage.the 02 got better milage.and yes,i would buy again.

i have had 3 5.9 and this 6.7 ... this 6.7 is my dream truck ... everything i have ever wanted ...

I want the 5.9 ... sadly ... constant SES lights, turbo replacements, dropped an injector yesterday hauling a u-haul from florida to texas ... i beat the crud out of my 5.9s ... programmers, lifts, big tires, pulling skid steers out of the mud ... NEVER a single issue ... this 6.7 is nothing but issues it seems. makes me sad ... i love the truck immensely !!!
