2006 specifications

[AH64ID]

I want to say all C&C's (auto/manual) are 305/610.

 

[RVTRKN]

Again, HSmartass, your wrong. That was told to me by the Fleet manager when I was researching my truck and I confirmed it with my tech who said he would do the program for free, but I had to buy the hardware. Furthermore the 06 C&C 07 MY was cheaper than the C&C manufactured after Dec 06, I know because mine was ordered in Jan 07, and built sometime in feb/mar. The extra cost was for the CTD from $5600. 00 to $6100. 00 but to add to the price, I paid an additional amount of $995. 00 for "Ultra-Clean Diesel System" that was not a cost on the earlier C&C.

The reason I waited, was the rumor that the HP was increasing with the 07. 5 6. 7 from 305 to 350 HP. No one could tell me, not even the Factory rep. I found out the true HP when I saw the truck I eventually bought at the Rodeo in Vegas in late 06 and was told by the Dodge rep it was remaining 305HP for the C&C. And he was correct when the numbers were finally published. The extra cost was not the EB, HSmartass, it was the extra Diesel cost and emissions.

So I ordered the newer version and would never have told anybody otherwise, so you better go back and re-read the posts again.

On EDIT: I need this to be clear for HSmartass, I did not pay extra for the EB

OH ya, STRIKE FOUR :-laf

If your talking about a 6. 7 exhaust brake, it was an option on the 07 MY in 06 with the C&C only, and had to be activated by the dealer, and there was a charge for the option. The 5. 9 had an option for the Jacobs exhaust brake which was operated by vacuum and the vacuum pumps are prone to failure. The PacBrake is an after market EB and is operated by compressed air and has a better reputation. The 48re's were not EB compatible until MY 06.

Hmmmm. In your earlier post right here you said it was an extra cost option, the same strange claim you've been making for years.

 

[HBarlow]

If we give HB 3 tries at it do ya think he can hit the ball? :-laf

325 HP 610 TQ is what the 06 5. 9 engine is rated at for all 50 states. The blurb about Cali Emissions means it has a CARB sticker under the hood becuase it was sold in a state that subscribed to the CARB standards.

IIRC, the 305 derated version was in the CC's for the 6. 7's. I believe all the pickup engines got the same rating, manual or auto.

If you'd allowed one more guess I might have got it right . . . but maybe not.

On one of those daytime television game shows for dimwits I would have been eliminated and forced to pay for my own transportation home.

I had an '06 Ram brochure in my file cabinet in the file folder for my old '06 but forgot I had it. The rating was 325/610 for either transmission as you posted.

Oh well.

 

[RVTRKN]

Ya thats correct, the EB was an option on the early 6. 7 C&C built before 07, when the cutoff from option to being included, I can't tell you. I know what I was told, you had to to buy the hardware (activation button) and have it activated through the ECM. It is also correct the Jacobs EB was an option on the 5. 9 from MY 06 to MY 07, mainly due to the Auto trans being EB compatible in 06. So that meant that a 5. 9 with the 48re was EB compatible in a MY 06 07.



Check out the link, BTW you better take off those riding gloves when using your keyboard, maybe you can find more of these, for that was my first attempt at a Google search. Your the one claiming it was never an option and was included from the very first C&C, so you do the searching.

RVPOSER,

I've seen you post that strange story many times before for many years. I always thought it was weird but never gave it a lot of thought. Seeing it posted again here today made me curious so I asked someone who bought a new '07 cab and chassis well before you did.

Guess what! His 2007 Ram 3500 cab and chassis came factory equipped with the standard variable nozzle turbocharger/exhaust brake function, fully wired, programmed, and activated as standard equipment at no extra charge. Just like my '08 which was ordered in late '07 and received in early '08. The exhaust brake function is a standard part of every 6. 7 liter Cummins engine.

I wonder why you had to pay for an extra cost option?

Can you say sucker? Looks like your selling dealer was familiar with that old P T Barnum line.

Facts don't change but some people's stories do.

What's that supposed to prove, how do you know if a dealer optioned it with the truck. WOW, give up the ghost, I've never claimed I paid for the EB as an option, it was included, with the purchase of all 6. 7 do after the cutoff date. I also never claimed the turbo was not a variable vane turbo. THE EB WAS AN OPTION IN EARLY C&C TRUCKS.



I'd like to see you prove in my own threads/posts that I paid for the option. I have talked to you in person before and you were closed minded then as well, so don't try and quote me because I've never claimed it in person or on any web site.

 

[RVTRKN]

Prove it, dumbash.

Your post #25 is still there, in your own words. It's strange the way you deny it.

 

[RVTRKN]

WTF IS THAT, read it C A R F U L L Y, Dumbash.

 

[Prairie Dog]

Your wasting your time on him RVTRKN. He's a just a big mouth and willing to say anything be it truthful or otherwise. Through various PM's I've gotten it's clear he's just a joke on here anyway so I blocked him and it's made the TDR a nicer place. It was rare that he ever had anything constructive to add anyway.

 

[mfurrh55]

I've got an 07 with 6 speed manual and it is H. O. 5. 9, It's rated 325/610

 

[RVTRKN]

Yes, the TQ went from 600 to 610 on the 05 thru 07 MY, auto or manual and that was for both the NV5600 or G56.

Yeah, you began to dislike me real strongly when I posted all the old posts in the thread about the exhaust brake application with automatic transmissions. I exposed all your lies and embarrassed you but at least you stopped whining and blaming Dodge, Cummins, and Jacobs. Lies are embarrassing when exposed.

 

[Prairie Dog]

LOL, you don't learn quick either. Rant on dumbash!

 

[RVTRKN]

HSmartash, I'll except your apology, but your so closed minded you'll have some excuse, even though its in Black and white.



Dodge brochure from 06, when I was looking into the C&C. Notice the language used and the last picture is worth a thousand wor----, oh ya HSmartash, a thousand apologies. 

 

[Mark31]

I don't have a dog in this fight, but this kinda reminds me of the Dodge brochure in 03 that led me to believe that a 5 speed auto trans would be available with the diesel.

 

[RVTRKN]

What sucked was I waited for the newer HP, that was rumored to be 350HP and indeed it did, but not for the C&C, so it cost more for the Diesel option and an extra cost for the smog that was not there prior to my ordering the C&C in Jan. I was not happy when the pricing came through. But WOW the EB was now free, but which now has a $1400. 00 extra cost I wouldn't have had to pay if I was just smart enough to order in November. Damn rumors



Mark31, the difference is that the C&C's were already out and available on the Dealer lots that had the EB as an option, but only ST's (the work truck edition). I had to travel to Las Vegas just to see one with what I wanted, an SLT with NAV SAT and U-Connect, look at sig, even though it was a Laramie, it did have what I wanted.

 

[HBarlow]

RVPOSER,

I spoke with a friend who owns one who told me his new C&C early production model was standard OEM when he bought his very early in the model year. I believe him.

If you had to pay an additional price for yours why did you deny it was an option in three or four preceding posts? Please decide if it was an option as you claimed in post 25 or not an option as you backtracked later.

 

[HBarlow]

RVPOSER,

After having coffee and awakening a few brain cells I thought of a solution to your great dilemma. Rather than spend another day or two spewing hatred and profanity why don't you post a copy of your truck's MSRP window decal? That will clearly show if the VGT exhaust brake function was an option on your truck.

As posted earlier, I think it was nothing more than a case of an error in an early pre-production brochure and a slick dealer who charged you for it.

If you put your venom aside and consider the issue logically, it makes no sense to call the exhaust brake an extra cost option. Every Cummins 6. 7 engine has/had a VGT installed. Every VGT has the capability to close and create exhaust braking.

Late model Rams, like all newer cars and trucks, have a maze of wiring harnesses installed at the factory during assembly. I would bet the wires to the dash exhaust brake control switch are part of a larger wiring harness installed in the dash during assembly.

The dash is standard among all trucks so your '07 C&C didn't have an optional hole in the dash for the switch.

The ECM is responsible for activating or deactivating exhaust braking. I'm confident all ECMs were standard from the factory as well. If a truck manufactured, delivered, and sold months before your truck had a standard exhaust brake is seems odd that yours would have an optional exhaust brake.

Post the MSRP sticker. If it proves your truck had an optional exhaust brake or some optional feature I will apologize here in bold print.
