Welcome to Cummins Ownerz.com
I want to welcome you to a site for 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Owners built, owned and ran by a 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel Owner.
I purchased my 07,5 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4, 6.7L Cummins with the 6 speed Auto on September 21 2007 and I'm looking forward to sharing everything I learn with all of you and hope to hear from other 6.7L Cummins Diesel owners and those just interested in the complexities of Diesel ownership.

 Dealer Invalidates Warranty - Illegal |
|

Hi All,
I may be at risk of repeating a message or thread that has already been passed along. However, having read thru some of the strings I see that there is an ongoing concern over whether any modification to a vehicle will invalidate your warranty. (Deleting the EGR is not included in this discussion as it is mandated in many States by other laws)
I found this article after having read the original text. This provides some good examples for guidance on how this is applied to you and how you can effectively combat dealerships that are trying to scam you...
Here is how the act reads as per the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) website (Specialty Equipment Market Association ). See also the link at the bottom.
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Title 1, __101-112, 15 U.S.C. __2301 et seq. This act, effective July 4, 1975, is designed to "improve the adequacy of information available to... [Read More]

 Ram Cummins 6.7L High Output package |
|
Oct 04, 2011 - 5:14 PM - by Squid

Since the introduction of the high output package for the Cummins 6.7L engine in our beloved Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks earlier this year which boost Torque to 800 FTLBS while still putting out only 350 HP (650 FTLBS otherwise), I've been curious bout the details.
What I've found out is they've upped the torque through a recalibration of the ECM and couple the engine to the transmission through a new converter. In order to help the 68RFe transmission deal with this larger load it now implements an ATF to water cooler.
The next thing they've done is added a Max Tow Package which gives the 3500 4x4 a towing capacity of 29,000 LBS. The upgrades include a stronger 4:10 AAM 1150 rear axle with larger bearings and stronger Limited Slip Differential or LSD. They've even added a cast aluminum differential cover that's said to reduce the gear lube temperature by 20 to 30 degrees. (Hell we've been doing that for years!)
The last thing the Max Tow Package includes... [Read More]

2012 Ram 2500/3500 Heavy Duty Changes |
|
Aug 10, 2011 - 10:29 PM - by Squid
|
Just got my Automotive News in the mail and they say that a couple of the changes for 2012 is that the 5.7L Hemi powered Heavy Duty trucks will be getting a new 6 speed transmission. The second thing and most important to us is Cummins owners that already have a 6 speed transmission is an air-spring suspension system that is planned. (Can't wait to find out more)
It also said that the Ram Dakota will no longer produced after August and that the Ram 1500 is scheduled for a Major Modification according to the companies 2009 five year plan.
Likely changes will be new powertrains which would include the Chrysler Pentastar V-6 along with a new designed ZF-designed eight speed automatic transmission with the transmission not being available until 2014 since Chrysler isn't planning to start production of the transmissions until 2013 in Indiana.

My new 800 ft lb Cummins-wow |
|
Jun 18, 2011 - 10:38 PM - by neely

I ordered a 2011 3500 about 6 weeks ago, pimped out Mega cab 4w, it came in this week and there was a
sticker on the tailgate that said, " High Output ", the salesman told me it was the 1st 800 ft lber they had seen. I said 800 ft lb, what the heck, sounds good to me.
I have had a 7.3 Power Stroke, just traded a 06 Duramax, but this new Cummins is in it's own class.
Wife and I took it for a 300 mile break in run today and it averaged 16.5 mpg in South Texas 107F heat, the hottest day I have seen in many a year.
The AC operated great!
