It's a long sorted story, but I was in a position to buy exactly what I wanted with cash in hand. I looked at all 3. I chose the PSD because ...

I read a lot here about the changes to the 6.0s over the years and was confident in the platform.

Thats why I got mine, I lied I'm true oval blue through and through. I opened a dodge and the inside looked like it had been made in a 3rd world country. I'm just not into Chevy. As far as I'm concerned he can look at mine all he wants because I know I got the better of the deal.

My 03 had issues but so far my 07 has not missed a beat and it rides a lot better. My 03 was alot faster off the line though(when the turbo didn't stick)HA-HA.
The 07 has 3000 cash back and 1500 in customer loyalty, they don't advertise the 1500, you have to ask for it!
