Interview with Cummins - Let's Talk Lowliner

[TDRComm]

​

The press release for the Lowliner was Thursday, October 31. Subsequently FCA North America has distributed a video with Joe Dehner, Head of Ram and Mopar design, that talks about the truck.

The TDR audience has a unique opportunity get the story about the Cummins side of the project. I’ll have the opportunity to meet with Cummins on Wednesday, November 6 at the SEMA show.

To the point: Are there questions you would like answered about the project? Post ‘em here and I’ll add them to the interview.

I'm rarely jealous of other's vehicles..........but my goodness I've got some jealousy going on now! I've got a sweet old 66 D200 that just got on the road this summer but it's nothing like this beauty. Thanks for sharing Robert.

Glad to do it for our friends at Mopar/Ram/Cummins. The SEMA show vehicles that they do are amazing...you really have to see the show.

I look forward to bring more details as we do the interview..

I'm a little late on this but it looks like it's a Common Rail 5.9 they swapped into this vehicle?

That seems to be a bit more uncommon than typical 12V swaps...or is that just me?

Love the color and the wheels.

The norm for a while seem to be 12 valves due to simplicity and ability to make power. Now, with the availability of aftermarket conversion parts, the common rail engines are far more popular for obvious reasons.

Thanks Don,

Makes Sense. An awesome build overall.

How do I post a question

I have a 2016 2500 HD with cummins. My air brake stops working around 1200 rpm. They are working on my truck and gave me a 2019 to drive. The air brake in the 2019 stops working around 900 rpm. I like this better. Is there a way to adjust when to air brke stops. Can I adjust mine to stop at 900 prm

These trucks dont have air brakes. You must be talking about the exhaust brake? Also, you should post your question in the appropriate section of the forum for 4th gen trucks.
