Horsepower/Torque

[MikeKelley]

I read here quite a bit about all the bombs you guys do to these already great trucks. Does anyone have a run down of the stock horsepower/ torque levels of all the cummins/dodge trucks starting back with first gen up to the new 600 and including my 2004 SO? I would be curious to know where I stand in the list. Does the 2004 SO still have more torque than say a stock truck of an older year? I hate to think I am at the bottom of the torque spec list. If so I may catch the bomb bug soon. Has a complete list of torque specs ever been made for all the years and where can I find it?

Thanks

I'm getting these from a book so no one shoot me if the numbers I post are not correct:



1st gen cummins dodge: 160 HP 400 ft/lbs TQ



2nd gen as of 1994: auto trans equipped rated at 160 HP 400 TQ

manual trans equipped rated at 175 HP 420 TQ

* in 1995 manual trans went to a 430 TQ rating

as of 1996 auto truck 180 HP 420 TQ

manual truck 215 HP 440 TQ

2nd gen as of 1998. 5 (24 valve engine) auto truck 215 HP 420 TQ

manual truck 230 HP 450 TQ

*1999 manual rated at 235 HP 460 TQ



2nd gens in 2000 had introduction of the HO motors rated at 245 HP 505 TQ



2003 the HO went to 305/555 and then 04. 5 to 325/600... now at 325/610



So your SO has more HP and TQ than quite a few of the older trucks... I think your SO is rated at 235 (or 250?) HP 505 TQ right? That's more than all the trucks up thru 1999.

My 250 hp SO dynoed out at 212 hp virtually stock. Didn't take long before I needed more

Thanks XJSuperman. I believe mine is 235/460. I am glad to know I am not at the bottom. I do not need more power. I only tow a small 3000lb. TT. I got to keep telling myself , I do not need more power. ... . but it is so easy to have more. I may have to order one of those Bullydog gizmos. I don't need it, but it sure would be fun.

Yep, your at 235/460. Same as the 24V manuals (except for HO's) and SO autos from 2001 and up.

The buyer's guide should be updated. A lot of good info in there.

Jason,how is that new truck running?What has the mpg settled at?My truck is still box stock engine wise,added a tool box fuel tank combo.

Thanks Pawpaw for the link.

For sure needs an update. That's the best explanation of year model differences I have ever read.

It looks to me that if I choose to increase power, my limitation is going to be that nv4500. Read somewhere in there that it is at it's limit with 450 torque. Any recommendations?
