Dad's 03 5.9 was way badder ass than his 06 6.7 same stage 2 turbo and everything

What stage 2 crap? Turbo specs and tuner?

Do any of you fellers have experience with the 06 to early 07 Dodges with the last run of the CR 5.9 Cummins? I'm looking at a built one which may replace m,y 7.3 truck... I know the mechanicals pretty well, but am looking more for first-hand pros/cons. I won't buy a 6.4 Powerstroke and right now I think the jury's still out on the longevity (beyond 150K mileage) of the 6.7 Fords and Dodges... Most of the Duramaxes (owners) are just too darn high for me to consider them... Looking at an '07 with 235 on the body, but 40K on a built 5.9 and matching tranny + T-case, A.M cam, slightly bigger injectors, studs, etc... Looks and runs good for $16K. It's a bit higher price than I want to pay but right now, between emissions issues, market demand, inflation and the fallout from cash-for-clunkers, it's largely a seller's market...

Right now a new(er) 5500 Ram is a bit out of the budget as I'm shooting in the 15-20k range, preferably on the lower side.
Feel free to PM me if you want.

My company has or had Dodge diesels 03 06 07 08 13 13 14 17 94 95 98 90. Our 06 D3500 with 5.9 just died with 240,000. Was worked hard pulling trailers every day. Front ball joints always bad. New owner is having it rebuilt.

I don't remember lol the programmer is a black maxx

It wasn't a crappy turbo it was 3k

ATS Aurora? Too small really. I bought one that was labeled by stages. Over speed and blown head gasket was the result on the test drive after putting it on. If they won't give me specs I won't buy now.

Stick with the ford...

But right nonetheless.

I've had a bunch of the dodge/Cummins. The Ford is the better chassis.

 

[cobey]

I have never had a deisel truck
Yet, a bunch of beat up gas trucks.

DT 360 swap..

 

[mdavlee]

DT 360 swap..

Easier than a Cummins swap for the most part.

 

[Homelite410]

Easier than a Cummins swap for the most part.

And way more original.

Dad had all the specs and everything he knows what he's doing lol the 03 has been chopped since the day he bought it and never had a single engine failure until 250k miles. That was just injectors

Morning midlanders!

I had a '53 F100. Drug it out of a corn field in Millstadt, Il. spring of '70. Dropped in the hemi out of my '57 Desoto. Sold it twice and bought it back. Replaced the 'fat women on the front bumper' with a 318 eventually. Steered much easier.[emoji6]

Built that Plymouth engine out of the Sears, Wards and Penny's catalogs.

Does that show my age?

 

[67L36Driver]

Third time was the charm. I haven't seen it since.[emoji848]

A lot of that stage 1,2,3,4 and so on is just to make people think they're getting more. A S300 62/68 would make more power and drive great and even tow. The last 07 I did that was real hot was using a 64/71 turbo with 175 HP F1 injectors with a modded pump. It would still push the exhaust valves open even after upgrading them with Hamilton diesel ones. I don't know where it maxed out on boost or EGT. Only had a 60 lb boost gauge and 1600 pyro. It was a fun truck on dry roads. Wet roads were touchy. It did kill a 3850 lever South Bend clutch in 28k miles.
