'08 or '09 is what I'm holding out for.

 

Heck yeah if my truck will hold out till '08 I will be ready for one of those. Just need to get some real world testing on those 6.7 to see how they really are!

 

Was by the local dealer and they had a 2500 Quad Cab Short bed 4X4. Drove it some 6/7 miles and played with both shift & exhaust break some, all I can tell you is it is sweet.
Had a salesman print out a 3500 Laramie Quad Cab 4X2 order that I would like and here are some the numbers,

6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine $6.100
6-Spd Automatic 68RFE Transmission $1,575
BLUETEC Diesel System $995

 

any rumors on when they are going to change the body style completely?

 

What is the bluetec diesel system?

I think the reports indicate 2009 model year.

 

The only thing I can think of is it is part of the exhaust system to help Cummins to meet the new exhaust standards put out by the EPA, and Cummins and/or Dodge are passing some of or all the cost on to the customer.

 

More than you probably want to know

Bluetec diesel system: http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006...rchrysler.html

 

Prices from Dodge site

6.7-Liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel Engine $6,100.00
5.9-Liter HO Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine $5,605.00

Sorry its 495.00 more not 500.00

 

Yes, but, then they add the $995 Bluetec Clean Diesel system surcharge at the bottom of the sticker.

 

Don't forget the new tranny is more too......

 

Don't for get the Turbo with Jake

 

Isnt the turbo and exhaust brake a part of the new motor cost??

 

I believe you would have had to pay that even if they kept the 5.9 for all of 07.

 

Bluetec means nothing to Cummins.

Bluetec is a Mercedes marketing scheme (joint venture with VW or Audi or ?) that was attached to the 6.7L just to milk off the fact that the 6.7L is emissions compliant to 2010 standards.

Sorry if this was already posted (I didn't read the first few pages).
