in Ram 2500 up to Ram 5500 Chassis Cabs, the Cummins has total capability with 650 lb-ft* of torque and best-in-class low-end torque.
powering more than 1.6 million Dodge Rams also addresses the future. The Cummins 6.7-liter now ranks among the cleanest of any full-size pickup diesel engine.
emissions are so low, they currently meet 2010 emissions regulations. For more, visit dodge.com/ram_hd

cooling mechanisms are designed to come together
to offer decades of use.

electronic solenoid injectors are capable of multiple
injections per cycle at pressures up to 23,000 psi.
Result? Precise noise and emissions control with
maximum performance.

factory-installed, ensuring quality. The engine brake
contributes to longer brake life, faster cab warm-up,
and greater vehicle control.
4 lEAn, MEAn — AnD vERy clEAn. Fewer moving
parts than comparable gas engines reduces
complexity — and consequent costs. And this Cummins
is super-clean, making it the cleanest full-size pickup
diesel out there.
5 ultRA-cOOl pERfORMAncE. The gallery-cooled
pistons receive a constant stream of oil for cooler
operation — while the oil itself is simultaneously
cooled by a system of constantly circulating water.

duty commercial-grade connecting rods are forged from
a single mold — a process that adds to strength —
and then fracture-split, for exacting tolerances.
7 built-in EcOnOMiEs. The focus on longevity
translates into reduced costs-over-lifetime. The
hardened nickel-chromium exhaust valves also
contribute to long life-to-overhaul range.

Below 1,500 rpm.
8 vARiAblE GEOMEtRy tuRbOchARGER (vGt).
Highly sophisticated, the VGT here differs radically
from Ford and GM engineering — which both place
the turbo on top of the engine. Side-mounting of the
turbocharger on this inline six-cylinder simplifies the
design and helps alleviate under-the-hood heat
buildup that can occur with V8 engines.

The large piston bowl is another engineering technique
used to ensure good power and clean emissions.
•  common-rail architecture. Plus. The common-
rail architecture plus sophisticated electronics equals
significant advantages: multiple injection pulses and
independent control of injection pressures. The result
is noticeably quieter operation and outstanding cold
starting capability — down to -20° F, unaided.
•  the  fuel  filter:  efficiency  by  design. With
fuel properties and emissions standards rapidly
changing, the fuel filter offers higher efficiency —
along with the capability to handle ultralow sulfur
diesel (ULSD).

Warranty coverage is for 5 years or 100,000 miles.
