2008 Changes?

[AHarris]

Has anyone of any changes as the 6. 7 heads into its second year?

 

[JRS]

A MegaCab with and 8 foot bed, I hope.

 

[betterthanstock]

I think it will stay unchanged until 2012, since it already meets emissions.

That would be nice

With the milage reports I am seeing from real world owners, there isn't one change they could make that would make me want to buy a 6. 7

I'm hoping there won't be any more increases in diesel emission requirements for awhile



I'm also hoping diesel emission controls will improve to where the system could be simplified and most of all become less costly to repair & maintain.

Who can afford these $40-50K trucks nowadays anyways?? Prices are insane! Hey Vaughn, long live our 12-valvers. Mike

There will be more changes by 2010 when new Tier III emissions go into effect. All diesels manufactured for the US market (on or off-road) will have to have urea injection for the exhaust to cut down on Nox emissions. It'll have an extra tank somewhere in the engine compartment for the urea that'll be a maintenence item like changing your oil. Yee ha.

The 6. 7L Cummins has been approved for 2010 emissions. It is the only diesel in the Big 3 that in it's current form meets those standards.

I didn't see anything wrong with the mileage numbers? In fact, I thought the Cummmins figures were much better than the two competitors...



I'd buy one. Now, my 24V gets great mileage when not towing (22+), but seriously sucks the fuel when towing(~6) but maybe its from towing a 19K Lb trailer and holding 45Lbs of boost for miles?.



Seems the 6. 7L is a little more stable, either towing or not towing. I do like the fact of 350 Flywheel HP and not a whisper of smoke...



If I were to get a new diesel truck today, I feel the Dodge would be the wisest choice.

Oh I am not trashing Dodge. I would gladly buy another dodge in a heartbeat. But I would look for a 5. 9 before I bought a 6. 7 I do like the addition of the factory exhaust brake.

 

[craiggo]

I, for one, would like to see a trailer brake controller on the '08's.

Thats why I am keeping mine.

Is this accurate, I thought the technology went down either EGR or urea injection, but not both???

I am also disappointed with the mileage on the new 6. 7. I realize that the search for more power and new emissions are creating this but it is getting harder to justify getting rid of my 97. :{

 

[JDubien]

Just bringing this back to the top, has anyone heard of any changes for 08 or 08. 5 yet?
