Never could find Hp rating. 425 maybe? Holy Crap!

Got the news the other day, she wants a new one in 2 years, should have some of the bugs worked out by then.

Here you go, I copied and pasted so you won't have through the link.

Chicago — Chrysler Group LLC today will announce a high-output Cummins turbo diesel engine for the Dodge Ram heavy-duty pickup as well as the Ram Tradesman, billed as a value light-duty work truck.

The Ram 3500 HD with the new Cummins engine will generate 800 pound-feet of torque, up from 650, on trucks with an automatic transmission. Torque is crucial to the market that uses these trucks for towing.

The bump makes the Ram on par with Ford's F-Series heavy duties and both exceed the capability offered by General Motors Co.

Ram now claims top towing capacity at 22,700 pounds on the 3500 pickup with dual rear wheels which has a special rear axle. Ford is a close second at 22,600 pounds.

Ram engineers also worked to give the truck the strongest diesel brake for engine braking, especially useful when the truck is hauling a trailer down a hill.

The Tradesman value package is designed to compete with pickups from Ford Motor Co. and GM with a 6-cylinder engine.

With a price tag under $23,000, consumers are essentially getting the Hemi V-8, class 4 trailer hitch and few other features free. The Tradesman value package is only available on the regular cab.

Now I don't feel so bad about rebuilding my front end because I too will be getting one of these, but a Laramie and she should be the last one I ever buy.

Thanks for posting this! You've made the last month of me screwing with this truck 2 hours a day all so worth it.

I did see on the Ram site they are still claiming 350 hp.

Yup, they are claiming that the HP remains at 350 but torque goes to 800. They also upped the tow rating, changed the transmission TC and the ECU. This will create some scrambling in the Ford and GM camps!
