The 6.7, at least the first version if it was total crap. Melissa and I went to a dealership in Oct-Nov '08 and they had one there with a sticker of $48+k and it was marked down to $24k or something and after reading all of the reviews and talking to a lot of people, it turned out the design of the 6.7 was garbage. The EGR system was over restrictive and was causing the turbo to grenade as well as causing catastrophic engine failure. It wasn't recalled (at least in the first year that I know of) because Dodge didnt have a fix for it. Instead, they would replace the broken parts. The problem was that if you were using it to haul cargo across country and you died in the middle of nowhere, you were on the hook for the massive towing cost to get you and your trailer to a dealership, then hang out in a hotel until it got fixed. For commercial purposes, it was no longer a viable option. Word got out and nobody was buying them, which is why the one we looked at sat there forever and they couldnt even sell it for 50% off. You could remove the EGR system yourself to fix the problem, but then the truck wouldnt pass emissions and it would void your warranty on a brand new truck. The 5.9 was amazing, but the 6.7 set Dodge way back.
