bigger cummins in 2007???

[JBrookshire]

A good friend of mine is a tech at a chrysler dealer and he had some schooling and the engeneer at the school was telling him that in 07 the cab and chassies will have a 6. 7 cummins and in late 07 the regular trucks will have them under the hood too. He said like 350hp and 700fpt??? Has any one else heard this????? Justin

Yes but the numbers aren't announced yet for the 2500 and 3500 series.

A few weeks ago, I ran into an old friend of mine who works for a company that tests new production vehicles etc. and thats what he was telling me, about the new 6. 7litre ctd. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I've heard that. There have also been rumors of Cummins developing a V8 for Dodge. While the 6. 7 would be very nice, I would hope Dodge and Cummins don't do the V8 thing. Why play a game where you're third out ya know? It seems to me that if Dodge/Cummins REALLY (which they have a way of doing!) wanted to stir things up with a new engine design other than an inline 6, they'd build a V12 of about the same displacement. It would be ultra smooth, more powerful with a wider spread of horsepower and torque and would sound AWESOME! Those Powerstrokes and D'maxes just sound sick by comparison!

I would think Dodge/Cummins would stick with a inline six, just because that is one of there claims to fame. 30% fewer moving parts than the competition. Less parts is less to brake.

If you read THIS article, you will know the story on the 6. 7 CTD. There is NO information on the 2500 or 3500 trucks at this time!
