Hmmm, we're a Dodge dealer and we sell 80% trucks, most of those being diesel. We're not seeing many problems with the 6.7 at all. What problems are you seeing at the dodge dealership you work at?

I gather my data on the problems the 6.7L is having by reading other diesel truck websites and apparently the problems are quite widespread.

Here's where I got my information from:

6.7L Cummins (2008+) - The Diesel Garage Forums

If you take the time to read, there is NOTHING wrong with the engine, it's the emissions system that is causing the issues, thank your elected officials for that.

When I refer to a 6.7L Dodge, I refer to a truck powered by a Cummins 6.7L diesel, not an engine on a stand. The emissions system that is directly connected to the 6.7L Cummins powered trucks is an integral part of the truck. Anyone who buys a 6.7L powered Dodge Cummins is succeptable to the numerous emissions system problems that are all over the internet.

thank your elected officials for that.

No, you would thank Dodge for that. They built or bought the emissions system for these trucks, not the Fed gov't. I do not see GM or Ford having nearly as many issues, so it's apparent that it's a quality control problem at Dodge.

As much as I hate the new diesel regs mandated from the Fed gov't, the responsibility is still on Dodge to build a reliable emissions control system. So far, their emissions system has been plagued with quality issues.

Whatever you say, you're right, I'm wrong

OK MOVING ON..Ihad to buy a new longer L shaped receiver thingy for my weight distribution hitch,on my tundra today,Ihad no more adjustment i had the head in the bottom holes,and the trailer was still two or three inches higher in the front than the back,even before the bars were hooked up. once in a while with a heavy load ,going down hill the tandem trailer would start to sway .I believe it was riding hard on the rear axle,which was causing this. Ive trailered alot this summer and i noticed the rear tires wearing faster than the fronts on the trailer.It never swayed before with my jeep,but the tundra is so much higher,i didnt have enough adjustment to level the trailer.What really shocked me was this little say 20#peice of steel was 120 bucks!!

I don't know where you are getting your facts and figures, I think you are wrong, way wrong!! I have a 6.7 Dodge with the DPF system and there is not a problem one,, My FOrd and GM friends are having constant problems, particularly Ford and excessive heat,, Dodge being plaqued by quality issues must be a mid atlantic thing because here in new england and other areas they are not having problems

We aren't in the mid atlantic either.

The problem is a few people that DO have problems spam many internet forums, I see it time and time again. Just like the Ford 6.0, it's not as bad as people think, just those with problems have busy little fingers and loud mouthes on the internet, hitting every forum they can find.

Kind of like the NH tractors breaking in half, that was pretty much perpetuated by ONE person

There are longer Weight distrubition hitches axailable to bring the trailer closer to the ground.
