Cummins 600 --

[BBerends]

I just picked up my new 2500 Ram. The sticker says it is an HO but my son thinks it is not the new 325/600 engine. How can I tell if I have the new 600 engine that I ordered?

I believe that it says Cummins 600 or something like that on the window sticker. Also you could check the data plate on the engine and see if it says 325 or 305 hp.

Open the hood.

Look on the engine cover (the one that says Cummins 24v),

you will see an 8" long sticker with all the engine information.

Look for the hp rating, it will either say 305 or 325 both are HO's.

But the 325hp is the 600torque engine.



Congrats on the Cummins!

ANY of these giveaways:



The window sticker will say Cummins 600, also the valve cover will say 325 hp. Check the build date on the door jam; any trucks built in 2004 will be the 600, and it will have a HUGE catalytic converter.



Oh yeah, it'll run like a big-block gasser!

My 04. 5 was built the 1st week of January. It did not say anything about being a 600 on the window sticker, so don't depend on that to tell if it's a 600.

They must have chnaged the stickers soon after that. Mine is a January 19th build, and the sticker says "Cummins 600 Turbodiesel".



They must not have wanted dealers to get confused!

Gentlemen:



Thank you for your help, and according to the engine data sticker on the engine cover I indeed do have the 325/600 Cummins engine. Again, thank you so much for putting my mind to rest.



Best regards,

For a while, until you complain about the fuel mileage.

If you can watch the fuel gauge drop as you drive then indeed you have the new and improved 600

Mine was built first week of March. Engine build date 3-4-04. Window sticker says nothing about 600. Maybe it is only dealer stock that has 600 on it. I ordered mine.

 

[swexlin]

Mine was built in Jan, and was a special order for someone. Sticker has his name on it.



Look on the right side of the sticker, where it lists options. You should see Cummins 600.
