The first half of the 07 model year were the last 5.9's.

07.5 is when they went to the 6.7's. Same truck, majority of the time you'll find them for sale at the same price, but you're getting all the emissions crap with it. If I hadn't found the deal I did on my 09, I would have went with an 07 5.9.

2009 was the last year of the 3rd Gens. My favorite styling, and around here there's a noticeable price increase from 2009 to 2010 for basically the same truck (options wise).

34K seems a little high... 30k sound like a good deal

So then what's wrong with the 06-08?
