5.9 vs 6.7 3rd Gen Cummins | Which Is Best and Why

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Stuck between a 5.9 and a 6.7 third gen and not sure what to get? In this video I break down a detailed comparison of both trucks, and the pros and cons of each.
Third gen Cummins trucks are a favorite for making big power, smashing off road, and towing without the complexity of a new, modern truck. Let’s figure out which one is right for you.

    Yeah because you aren't destroying the engine and putting out more nox gas because the epa doesn't like it there like anti gun activists don't have the faintest clue what they're talking about but will write laws against it law makers do one thing and one thing only and that is make laws to stay relevant it matters not if they make sense if it did half the laws we have would not even exist (Edit sorry if no one could read half way through this comment this new update KZread has here has been doing nothing but fucking me everytime I wish to speak in the comments I just went over this right now sorry

Another avenue if you have the mechanic recourses is getting a blown 6.0 f250 super cheap and swaping 5.9/6.7 mated to a 5r110 trans. I'm currently working on a 06 f250 fummins.

    I have an 07 5.9, absolutely love it. I'm a PA state inspection licensed mechanic and I purposely got the 5.9 to stay away from the emissions that do more harm than good in more ways than one. That said, my 5.9 averages 17mpg with a tuner. You wont get anywhere near that fuel economy with Emmisions, which is ironic because the EPAs solution to reduced emissions, is to use more fuel to create more emissions.

    I’m around farmers, who use the Dodge to tow farm equipment, with that being said they ALL wish they had the 5.9 over the 6.7, they are more dependable, and get better mileage. Emissions is the killer for the diesels, and that’s coming from a technician that works at Dodge, To solidify this theory look no further than newer tractors with emissions, they are always in the shop because of emissions system failures (look at the statistics). As for the Transmission, I own an 05, and the transmission went out at 135000 miles. I took it to Browns Diesel in Riverdale Ca. And they rebuilt it with Goerend transmission parts (billet flexplate, triple disc billet torque converter, billet input, intermediate shaft, billet high pressure Valve Body, and all internal components replaced with Goerend parts). It cost me $7000.00 and Browns guarantees it for life, and it’s good up to a 1000 hp. I have had zero problems with this truck after the transmission was rebuilt. I put a AFE intercooler, and tubes, AFE cold air intake, and replaced the transmission cooler, AC condenser and radiator with all aluminum parts for increased cooling. I live in California in the Sierra Nevada foothills and it’s hot here. I have owned my truck for 14 years, and I pull my tractor and other farm equipment plus my 30 ft toyhauler, and I can pull any grade including the 58 through Tehachapi, and Pacheco Pass with no issues. That 5.9 is a beast, and I wouldn’t choose a different truck. STAY AWAY FROM THE NEWER DIESELS, THE EMISSION SYSTEMS ARE THE DOWNFALL FOR THESE TRUCKS AND ANYTHING ELSE WITH A DIESEL ENGINE. DO THE RESEARCH!

I will say when it comes to towing, the exhaust brakes on the 6.7 from the factory are really nice, along with the 6 speed transmission. I still will choose my dads 5.9 over mine because of its simplicity

Having put 22k miles mostly towing all over this country I absolutely love it. The biggest things that sold me were the VGT and the exhaust brake. I knew I was intending it to be basically a towing vehicle so both of those are major helps. I came from a VW TDI that sold be on the VNT/ VGT idea awesome technology.

Before 100,000 miles he had to put it in the shop at least 4 times due to the dpf clogging up which killed the turbo. After the delete, he never had an issue.

    Some other important differences to note about the 03-04 third gen 5.9 Cummins vs the 04.5-07 third gen 5.9 Cummins. The 03-04 has two injection events, a different spray angle on the injector nozzles, different pistons, and the non-California 03-04 had no catalytic converter, just a muffler. All changes after the 03-04 Cummins engines had to do with stricter federal emissions laws and compliance with them. The 04.5-07 5.9s have three injection events, the third of which has to do with emissions reductions, as well as different piston bowls and spray angles on the injectors for emissions control. The 6.7 Cummins engines were designed completely around the need for stricter emissions standards, including having five injection events. The best combination for power would be early third gen electronics/injectors paired with the larger displacement of a 6.7.

    I live in CA and have been looking at getting a 2006. Banks has enough legal aftermarket parts to give a reasonable boost. ATS performance has the best transmission upgrades available. If you want an allison swap on a 6.7, ATS Sells the allson with horse power ratings up to 1100 horse power. They also manufacture a bell housing that matches up with the Cummins so you do not need adapter plates and can use the stock starter. They have an electronics package which allows all the accessories to work also.

    I pull a 40’ Alliance 5’er with my SRW ‘09 quad cab , 3.42 gears 4x4 w/ G56 and I love the truck. I have gone through the truck and upgraded to a Fass, Fleece coolant bypass and filter delete, rear airbags, etc. It’s been super reliable and it gets 26mpg on the highway. Towing varies too much due to terrain and wind. It’s the best truck (vehicle) I’ve ever owned. 230K and it keeps going! I don’t regret passing on the 2006.

    One random interesting fact. A buddy of mine worked in auto auctions a while back and told me something interesting. If you live in a state with out inspections and you delete a trucks DEF system, then get in an accident where the truck is declared total loss by insurance and take the check like you normally would. When the rebuilder purchases the truck at auction and finds out the deletes have been done. They actually have recourse against you because they will never be able to get that truck to pass the inspection that changes the title from salvage to rebuilt. It's similar to odometer discrepancy cases where you essentially sold something to someone which you knew it was worth significantly less. The only way to truly protect yourself if you own a deleted truck and it gets totaled is to buy it back from insurance and sell it to a scrap yard yourself. But you're going to take a financial hit there because the scrap price is going to be less than the offer you have to make to insurance. Just something I thought you all might find interesting.

    6.7 into earlier trucks is the move, the EPA is seriously cracking down on shops who offer the deletion as a service, I've heard of several instances in the last few years, most notably the diesel brothers getting fined 850k lol, that starts making the swap seem like a lot less effort.

    I really miss my 2005 with the 5.9. And that also had the G56 transmission which was a pleasure to drive. In my opinion the biggest weakness with these is fuel filtration system. Thats basically what destroyed my injectors. Go with a 2 micron filtration system and also beef up your ball joints.

    Just finished a complete rebuild of my 03 5.9 truck. Being in the rust belt, swapped to an 08 frame. Cleaned primed and undercoated the complete frame. New 4” down pipe. New Stage 1 turbo still on factory tune. Upped the hp to 370 and about 525 torque. Went from stock tire to 35” with a 3” suspension lift. Ride is a little rougher for now with only 400 miles on it. But expecting it to settle in within the year. Had a 2014 6.7 and was not overly impressed with the performance with the emissions. Just picked up a used bed from the south. Will be addressing the interior and the remaining body work in the near future.
