I talked to a sales rep at a dealership "up here" today. Asked him if he'd heard anything about the cummins for "07. He said he was at a show recently, and they're upping the HP to compete with the competition. I said "6.7?" He just shook his head and said "uh huh." I asked about the 6 speed auto, and he said he hadn't heard antything about that. So again I said "but they mentioned the 6.7?" Again he shook in the affirmative, and said"uh huh!"

 

Are they gonna up the hp and tq on the current 5.9 until they come out with the 6.7?

 

From what I've read the 6.7 is a definite. There is no question. Cummins is moving the to the 6.7 for on road application to meet emissions, this is directly from Cummins and is public information. If DC wants a Cummins in the 2007, it will be the 6.7. The 68RFE may be only going into the 4500/5500 series trucks but I would be surprised if they don't offer it in the 1 tons as well to keep up with the competition.

 

Where did you read about it Berak?

 

i never listen to "experts" at dealerships...these are the same guys that tell u u need to change ur spark plugs and u have a piston slap that u should look into

 

I fully agree T. (This rumor seems to be coming at us from more than 1 place.)If you think about it, rumors usually do!

 

KC Jackson over on the TDR posted about it in the general section. It was a notice from Cummins.

 

I read, I believe on the TDR, that at a dealer show in Vegas , they had a truck with the new 6.7 Cummins with a 6-speed Aisin/Warner automatic, behind it.

Whether this was just a test mule, or not, I don't know.

There was a cab and chassis at the show in Vegas. It was a 4500 and had the bigger Cummins. This was from a dealer but it was from a dealer that just spent 3 million dollars upgrading their facility to handle Dodge's expanding commercial line of trucks.
