6.7L Cummins Specs
The 6.7L Cummins is the latest in the B-series engines, introduced mid year in 2007. With an introductory rating of 350 HP & 650 lb-ft, it is also the most powerful B-series ever offered. The 5.9L ISB was replaced by the 6.7L to meet strict new diesel emission requirements. To meet such requirements, the 6.7L is equipped with an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system, a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), and a diesel particulate fitler designed to reduce diesel particulate matter by more than 90 percent. A new, higher-pressure version of the Bosch direct injection system is used.

High Output 6.7L Cummins
Early in 2011, Cummins announced an upgraded version of the 6.7L Cummins would be released for the spring. The updated engine saw torque increase to 800 lb-ft (from 650 lb-ft). Horsepower ratings did not change, nor did output for the derated, manual transmission version of the engine.
For 2013, the 6.7L Cummins underwent further changes and was scheduled to be offered in 3 version:
• 350 hp, 660 lb-ft version coupled to the G56 manual trans.
• 370 hp, 800 lb-ft version coupled to the 68RFE automatic trans.
• H.O. 385 hp, 850 lb-ft version coupled to the Aisin AS69RC trans (High Output).
In addition to the new offerings, SCR (selective catalytic reduction) w/ DEF injection became standard on the new high output version. Ram Trucks reported an approximate 10% increase in fuel economy with the new engine lineup. To reach and safely maintain these power levels, Ram trucks received dual transmission coolers, dual radiators, a higher efficiency intercooler (charge-air-cooler), larger capacity EGR system, and a higher efficiency mechanical fan.
Additional 6.7L Cummins Info
• Manual transmission equipped 6.7L Rams have significantly less torque output than the automatic equipped 6.7L Rams.
• The 07-10 6.7L maintains peak torque between 1,500 & 2,800 RPM.
• Approximately 40% of the 5.9L Cummins' engine parts were carried over to the 6.7L Cummins.
• The 6.7 features an integrated exhaust brake direct from the factory, which improves safety and vehicle control while towing.
• Fuel injection system designed to lowers noise, vibration, and emissions while maximizing output.
• Met strict NOx emission requirements for 2010 3 years in advance.
• Standard emission equipment includes a diesel particulate filter & exhaust gas recirculation system. For 2013, DEF became standard on the H.O. version.
• Initially designed to safely run on B5 biodiesel. Later revised to run on B20 for 2011+ model years.
