No More 5.9's Anymore?

 

They are still around on the lots.

 

The age of the 5.9 is over. Now it is the 6.7's turn to rule the diesel world. hahaha

 

I hope they didnt mess up..... At least its still an Inline 6.......

 

That makes two of us. I hope it upholds to our standards.

 

I heard that the 6.7 is a 5.9 with a longer stroke. I could be wrong, I have before.

 

It's hard for me to get use to the emissions standard each year. I just wonder when it will get to the point they start making us like my truck, that all it has is a stock muffler, retrofit with particulate traps and such. I hope never. Also I think I read somewhere they re-engineered the fuel filter on the 6.7 and made it harder to change filters now. They had a good thing with the set up they got now, I thought.

Good bye old friend, hello particulate traps.

 

I know , glad I bought mine when I did ,or I'd be burning more fuel to make cleaner exhaust.

 

i hear that sprinter!

 

and it has a EGR valve which is death to a diesel be carefull i would stick with a 5.9

 

Just picked up my 5.9 yesterday last of a generation

 

The EGR systems I deal with on the OTR Cummins and Volvo engines are a nightmare. I hope the systems they designed for the pickup market work better. If not, the future EGR threads will be reminiscent of the infamous VP-44 lift pump debacle.

 

Yep the emissions stuff is why I bought my truck back in Feb.
It was built 12/06, so no '07 emission stuff. So performance mods are planned for when the warranty expires!

 

i got one of the last 5.9's in the 2007 ,,,im glad i did too ,,,dont have to deal with all the sensors in the new 6.7
