Well went to Devine to my dealer to pick the LEMON, they replaced under warranty the converter, sensor, sensor exhaust, bypass, reflashed it and modified the tailpipe (no charge). If out of warranty over $3000, I had to pay nada.

Earlier in this thread you said you had 221K on your truck. How can a truck that lasts that long on a RANCH be considered a "lemon"?

guess the best thing that could have happened was that Dodge was allowed to die and be sold off in pieces. Can you imagine the resell value i have lost due to the 6.7 first year version being such a turd?? I bet instead of adding for the 6.7 in the Blue book they will deduct for the 6.7!!!LOL

Not sure where you get your news from, but Dodge is not dead yet. Dodge trucks and Jeeps will be the last thing that Fiat gets rid of as it restructures Chrysler...these product lines are the only profitable ones in the Chrysler portfolio.
After 2 years and 20,000 miles on my "turd" I couldn't be more pleased...100% reliable, ZERO problems, ever! 40% of that is towing a large travel trailer and about 60% is daily driver usage. My secret is I follow the advice I read from the knowledgeable folks in this forum, avoid aftermarket stuff, keep up with the latest flashes, use the EB all the time to keep the turbo clean, and follow the Dodge service intervals. Performance, reliability and a great driving truck--Sierra Hotel!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend an 07.5 6.7L Dodge Cummins, DPF and all.

Like I said, beware if you have a 6.7 and drive it on a ranch and idle it at all, beware if you drive it in normal mud, the tailpipe gets so hot it will bake the mud solid and close the opening and about kill you with fumes, sad parts availability as well continues.

Hot tailpipes are not unique to the 6.7L Cummins. Ford and Chevy have the same hot DPFs and heat issues under the truck. Blame the LSD EPA, not Dodge, for enacting ridiculous regulations that require manufacturers to choke these engines with all this emissions crapola.
Like other posters have already mentioned: if you think Dodge sucks so much, maybe its time for you to try a different truck from Obama Motors or Ford.
