Rumor has it that they will be releasing info and taking orders for the new improved higher H.P./Torque cummins and a transmission change.(thought to be 600 ft lbs of torque and an Eaton Automatic).

: Dodge going Eaton Automatic? Big Russ 12-03-2003, 12:05 AM Wouldnt that be the cats meow... What would make more sense though is for them to import some of those medium duty Mercedes Truck autos.... It's all the same company.. hoot 12-03-2003, 12:07 AM Wouldnt that be the cats meow... What would make more sense though is for them to import some of those medium duty Mercedes Truck autos.... It's all the same company.. They might not have a high enough rating. MB AGS (Automated Gear Shift) Two ratings.... 170/520 250/600 k1xv 12-04-2003, 10:13 AM See this link. Lots of info. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/031203/dew013_1.html MonteCarlo31 12-04-2003, 10:45 AM Hoot, If there is one trans that is UNDER rated it's MB. We have a ML430 with their 5 speed auto. If you look at it's as big as a Allison and doesn't miss a beat. If you ever see one apart man is it big over built clutch packs and a perfect converter. My friend has a 240D not exactly a power house but does have 350K miles on it. I really think MB diesel tranny would be moving me to the dodge side. They are sweet vehicles. Lenny Dodge Salesman 12-05-2003, 04:47 PM You can place orders for the new cummings and they will be in about the beginning of February. The new specs are 325 HP 600 lb ft of torque Havent heard about the transmission yet. it will be a $135 increase in the price of the diesel package(not bad!) Ray403Dmax 12-05-2003, 06:26 PM We all keep pulling for Dodge to make a significant tranny change and it never happens. Maybe one of these times a tranny rumor will be true. Kinze 12-08-2003, 10:41 PM Just a little tip Dodge Salemsman: It is Cummins not cummingshttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif There is no "g" in Cummins. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif Dodge Salesman 12-11-2003, 01:05 PM Lol, ya I know,sorry, I am a northern so i tend to add letters to my words, like instead of wash I say warsh. Damn Yankees Ray403Dmax 12-11-2003, 02:23 PM The 10th has come and gone and still no official word on the Dodge tranny. mikeyb 12-14-2003, 11:43 PM The Cummins "600" will use the current NV5600 6spd manual and the 4spd R48 auto. MikeyB Ray403Dmax 12-15-2003, 01:16 PM Thanks for the update. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif | ||
