New Dodge Ram Diesel Engine
 

As of 01/01/07 new regs went into effect for diesel motors. Does anyone have any word on the new Dodge Ram 2500/3500 with the 6.9L motor w/6 speed automatic trans?

Not sure what information you are looking for, but I doubt you will find anywere with more information than the TDR

It will be a 6.7L cummins....same inline 6 design. I think 350hp and 650lbft of torque. The new restrictions obviuosly make it harder to pull easy power out of the 5.9(that has plenty to spare,) thus more displacement. Im excited. The cummins is the most reliable, proven, light truck diesel you can currently get. 30% fewer moving parts than a comparable v8 diesel....and a real big rig sound. It is afterall a detuned medium duty truck motor.

cat in the ram 2500 and 3500 it makes 350 eather tanny the new c&c make 310 .. robbie

ahh yes.....im not too quick today. :cool:

It's supposed to have a 52 gallon fuel tank as well. I don't know why they all don't go to the bigger fuel tank. My old powerstroke only had like a 24 gallon tank. My current Dodge has a 35 gallon tank I am looking forward to getting a new one in the next year or two.

sweet!

If diesel holds true to the 7lbs per gal weight...thats 525lbs of fuel.....that, you would feel

the problem with an OEM tank replacement is that is throws off the trip computer (distance to empty, MPG, etc)

Yeah, that would be the truck to do it. I would love being able to fill up with 75 gallons of #2.....every two-three weeks
