Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel
For 2004, Cummins and Dodge raise the bar with the re-engineered
Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel, available in the Dodge Ram Heavy Duty
Pickups. The Cummins 600 Turbo diesel delivers a class-leading 600
ft.-lbs of torque, starting at only 1600 rpm, along with an unbeatable
325 horsepower. And now it's available in all 50 states, making
Cummins the choice of over 70% of Dodge Ram Heavy Duty buyers.
Based on this kind of performance and further noise refinement
Ward's AutoWorld Magazine named the Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel one
of its "Ten Best Engines" for 2004.
For 2004, the Dodge Ram Heavy Duty with the Cummins 600 offers
best-in-class:
- 600 ft.-lbs. torque starting at only 1600 rpm
- Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Gross Combination Weight Rating
- 15,000 mile oil change interval (Schedule A), 7,500 mile oil
change interval (Schedule B)
The
Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel is the latest generation of the legendary
Cummins B series engine. Cummins has manufactured over millions
of B engines to power trucks, buses, boats, agricultural equipment
and industrial equipment around the world.
In these commercial applications, reliability, durability, and
efficiency are essential. The Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel has 30% fewer
parts than competitive V8 diesel engines. With over 1,000,000 Dodge
engines built since 1988, the Cummins Turbo Diesel has earned its
reputation for durability and quality. We often hear from customers
with over 500,000 and even 1,000,000 miles on their Cummins-powered
Dodge Rams.
Cleaner Emissions
The Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel is not only more powerful, it's also
cleaner. Particulates and nitrogen oxides have been reduced to meet
the 2004 emission standards. Now the Cummins 600 meets all US federal
and state emission requirements.
To meet the new emission standards, Cummins applied its technology
to provide an in-cylinder solution along with a diesel oxidation
catalyst. Cummins developed a new piston combustion bowl and a high
flow electronically-controlled wastegated turbocharger to better
match boost pressure to engine needs to reduce emissions. This solution
does not require exhaust gas recirculation, saving over 50 components.
