Dodge News - Dodge’s new diesel debuts at Texas State Fair - true potential will soon to be seen

TSIKOT - - The Texas State Fair was the location of another big truck announcement last week when Dodge announced its new Cummins turbo-diesel engine for the 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500. Enlarged to 6.7 liters from 5.9 through increases in both bore and stroke, the new inline-six turbodiesel now boasts 350 horsepower and 650 ft-lbs. of torque, all while meeting stricter diesel emissions standards for 2007. The engine also features an optional exhaust brake function that improves braking under heavy towing situations, a common feature of big rigs and large motor coaches.

HEMISPERICAL | LA - - However, know one asked the question on what potential lies within this lil gem....as I was told, the potential will be revealed by the Banks crew soon enough but too allow the 'CAT OUT OF BAG', this engine can achieve more than 1200-lbs of TQ. Doing so is something we have to wait and see when they attempt the monster run in Salt Lake Flats.
