I have owned a new dodge 5.9 since labor day weekend. I love it. I get 20-21 mpg on freeway and when I pull my 20 ft. enclosed on our 1000 mile round trip for hunting with 2 wheelers, and 14 days of supplies for 5 men, and hopefully a couple of deer on the way home, I get over 16.

The 5.9 is indestructable and has been around longer than dirt. I don't know anything about the 6.7. I don't know why you would fix something that isn't broken, but they did. Make sure you get a 06 or later because of the ultra low sulfer fuel, or at least run Power Service conditioner year-round. It's well worth the effort.
