Dennis,
First off........I was thinking wrong.
I just crawl under to undo the oil drain plug.:thumbsup: I pull the turbo duct from the air box to get to the filter from the top. Starting threads upside down on a filter full of oil is fun.
Now, go ahead and bring the bicycle, cause your Duramx would be wooped.
I'll put any Cummins powered pickup against all the other diesel pickup. Even if it has an Allison transmission behind it.:shocked::shocked:
2003 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty 2500/3500 - First Look & Road Test - Motor Trend
Ram's new inline-six 5.9-liter High-Output Cummins Turbo Diesel engine, which delivers 305 horsepower at 2900 rpm and 555 lb-ft of torque at only 1400 rpm when shifted by its manual six-speed transmission. Dodge rightfully boasts that this is the most powerful turbo diesel available in the 2500/3500 truck market, offering a tow rating of 23,000 pounds (Gross Combined Weight Rating). It may also be the most durable, engineered to have an average major overhaul interval of 350,000 miles and oil-change intervals of 15,000 miles instead of the customary 7500. While their displacements and cylinder counts are larger, Ford's 7.3-liter V-8 Power Stroke and General Motors' 6.6-liter Duramax turbo diesels don't quite measure up to the output of the High-Output Cummins, producing 275 hp/520 lb-ft and 300 hp/520 lb-ft, respectively.
Now Dennis..............add another 100 horsepower:shocked::shocked: for crusin' or 50 horsepower
for pulling from the programmer
..................and you might wanna bring two bicycles:2cents:..........one to ride home after the first one burn it's tires up in the flames my tires are gonna start leaving you in black smoke.:cool2: Oh well..........back to the tire shop.
Cause I really can spin all four rear tires. Don't ask me how I know this
.
You just gotta understand:melodramatic: Cummins:checkeredflag: derated:yellowflag: this engine 100s and 100s of horsepower to get it to work with a factory (cough):fever: transmission.:soapbox:
hugs, Brandi
