Does the lifetime warranty cover the Cummins? If you're not worried about warranty. You can always delete the DPF and get a tuner so you don't have any codes
No the Dodge lifetime warranty does not come on Cummins equipped vehicles. Cummins has a 100K warranty on all motor components.
The DPF issues will not be a problem for you because you will be running this rig under load. So it wont clog on you. Your EGT's will be high enough to keep it from needing to go into active re-gen.
The '10 6.7 CTD's come w/ an exhaust brake and an integrated trailer brake controller ... BOTH of which are a MUST on that large of a trailer. While tossing in a trailer controller aint a tough job ... those exhaust brakes for the VGT's are a pretty penny and a PITA to install. (the Jacobs for my 5.9 weighs over 40 lbs alone ~ now balance that w/ one hand and hold the turbo housing and the down tube)
Other good points on the '10 CTD (yeah I'm bias...get over it
) larger brakes, stiffer frame, both 4 & 7 pin trailer plugs...all upgrades from earlier Dodges. All of make towing a better game for this rig. Dodge really brought it to the table with the new interior so it's not a lost ride like in the previous body styles.
What ever you buy ... please please put an EGT gauge & a boost gauge on it. That much weight your going to run all sorts of problems w/o proper maintenance and care.
