Ram 5500 Municipality
Unlike the In house Powerstroke 6.7L V8 the Cummins 6.7L is an inline 6 cylinder engine. Just like the later 5.9L cummins the 6.7 is a 24 valve as well, and put out in 2007 when it was released 350 horse power and 650 foot lb of torque. At its current update the 6.7 produces 385 horsepower and 865 foot pounds of torque. The main reason for the construction of this engine was in 2007 when all of the new emission laws came out and caused all diesel engines to comply with the new laws, therefore creating all new motors. It would have cost more to modify the old motors compared to building a more powerful and efficent new one. Another incorporation to this motor was a fuel injected system that reduces noise, vibration, and emissions, but at the same time maximizing performance.
The 6.7L cummins can be found in Dodge ram 2500 and 3500 series trucks, as well as the dodge ram cab and chassis series. However there are many other trucks that can support this motor. An example is a Ford f650 cab and chassis have come equipped with this engine. One small drawback for the 6.7 when equipped with a manual transmission there is a significant reduction in the torque output.
