Cummins Turbo Diesel: The Cleanest Meanest Engine Around

January 26th, 2010 | Ram Zone

2010 Ram 3500 6.7L Cummins turbo dieselA true workhorse with best-in-class low-end torque, the Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel comes standard on all Ram 3500s. (In fact, it’s the only truck in its class to offer a diesel engine standard.) A truly peerless power train, the Cummins was a key reason that the Ram HD was named Motor Trend’s 2010 Truck of the Year.

But did you know it’s also one of the cleanest, quietest, most eco-friendly motors available? To put it in perspective, the Cummins Turbo Diesel met 2010 emission requirements way back in 2007 — leading the way for the innovations achieved in this year’s incarnation. Cummins used a High Pressure Common Rail fuel system and cooled exhaust gas recirculation to lower emissions. And they didn’t forget noise pollution in the process: the NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) dampening features in the 2010 model have led to a 50 percent quieter engine and all-around reduction in cabin noise levels. Wouldn’t you know it: The Ram Heavy Duty is the strong, silent type.

    If dodge really wants to improve sales market share the really need to offer a light duty diesel in the 1500

    I hope Dodge improves its market share,best trucks around !!! Also,I really would want a new SRT Dodge Ram Quad Cab,lets say with a 6.4 Hemi …? Ford is rumored to have a 411 hp 6.2,C’mon Dodge..500+h.p to stay ahead of the game…..

    But….I always loved Diesel Dodge’s…Dually,Diesel in Black for some odd reason I love them as much as SRT-10 Dodge Rams….

    What is the real word on mileage from the “new” Cummins diesel? Auto transmission with 3:7 rear gears???
    No one wants to put a number out there, at least when I have looked.
    Thanks,
    John

    I agree with MZ. Dodge should be working 24/7 to bring the 1/2 ton Dodge pickup with Cummins diesel to market! It would take market share from the others . . . . guaranteed.

    DakotaT….Imagine the loss if the diesel 1500 line were to flop. The big three already have their diesels lined up and ready for their half-ton line of trucks. If it wasnt for the economy flopping like it did, we would be seeing diesels in half-ton trucks. But the big three knew, since millions of people were losing their jobs due to the economy, that launching the half-ton diesel line would have been a huge loss to revenue and possibly would have been the demise of the big three. This would have been a HUGE hit to the american job market and who knows what else.
