Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 460414, member: 3825"] FYI, Dodge has released the specs for its 2013 Ram HD trucks. The Cummins 6.7 in the 2013s will make 385/850 when backed by the Aisin transmission. The 6.7 stays at 800 ftlbs when backed by the 68RFE. I think that says something about the 68RFE's capabilities. I'm glad I'm not using one for my swap. I think it also says something about the 6.7s strength that Dodge is willing to take it to 850 ftlbs in stock form and also speaks to what people need and want when pulling big trailers. Torque, lots of it, and down low. Its going to be interesting to see where the torque/power war ends. 850/385 is more torque and power than you can get in any class 6 MDT truck. The 2013 6.7 will also use DEF. The 2013 trucks are going to get a stronger frame, higher GVWR and GCWRs and the 3500s get a front suspension very similar to the 05+ Superduties, ie twin radius arms with coil springs. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. One really nice thing that Dodge has built into the 2013s is an air box that will either draw from behind the headlight on the passenger side when the weather is good or from along the fender near the cowl when it isn't. I've had snow plug the air filter on my 08 several times. And my '99 had the early air box that had the same problem until they retrofitted it with the new late '99 air box under warranty. For some reason Ford has great difficulty designing good air intake systems. I can't wait to ditch the 6.4 air box and filter when I do my swap. [/QUOTE]
