Thanks Steve .

And here's a picture: 2003 Cummins Turbo Diesel and 5. 7-liter HEMI Magnum V-8

For 2003, the all-new Dodge Ram Heavy Duty is aiming at the heart of the heavy-duty market with two new engine offerings and, for the first time on a Ram, a 3500 single rear wheel option.

Sweet Oo.

MASSIVE TORQUE

Awwwwwww! If I had known I could get a MASSIVE 450lb TORQUE instead of a puny 505, and gotten bad gas mileage to boot.....



..... sign me up for that V10!!!

I think I remember them saying something about the 12 valve engines going to the 300k marker on average, and the 24 valve going to 400k. What the heck is this "improved life span to 350k" BS?

 

[Cummins Corvette]

Yup, here it is. In the brochure for the 1998 24 valve trucks, improving the life from 300k to 400k. They are so full of crap.

 

[rubberneck]

WOW 555 ft/lbs that is so impressive I wonder if they know how many of us are already over a grand

 

[Rcpilotlv]

How does this compare to the new powerstroke 6 liter does any body know cant seem to find the numbers right now?

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

They had a prototype G2 6. 0 liter Powerstroke there - they are rating it at 350/600 right now .

One of my friends just went over to the darkside and bought a F**D. Claims that he heard DC and Cummins had a falling out and that Cummins was history. Hmmm, can't say as there is any credibility with that story, given all of the above info and pix from the show. Must've been talking to a F**D fan.

[CharlieMiller]

Yeah that rumor has been around for a while . The fact is the DC & Cummins have a contract at least until 2007.

 

[Barry]

Rear Axle Ratios... ..... anybody heard?????????

 

[Bill Stockard]

Just curious if Cummins is going to spec a different weight oil for the new engine as so many manufacturers are doing these days. Did you hear anything about that?

 

[bschmidt]

Too Bad its dramatically more quite! I sure hope you can still hear a Cummin's "cummin"!!!!! At least 30% of the reason I love my Cummin's so much is that great sound!
