The 6.7 has been around long before it was put into a Ram truck, correct?

I heard it was in use in Europe for a few years before it was used in our trucks. I believe it was used in some class 6 & 7 OTR trucks as well.

"The 6.7-liter QSB, rated 135-275 hp (101-205 kW), began limited production in June 2005, a full six months ahead of the emissions regulations..."

Taken from a Cummins Press Release.

This is as far back as I've been able to trace it so far.

That' farther back than I remember.. Good stuff. But I think that was a different version of the engine IIRC with and agricultural package. Different valve train I think too.

It was ran over sea for 2 years before it came here. We do not know how Long it was tested before it was put out to be sold.
