In the heavy-duty truck sector, the components of a 400-hp, 1000-lb-ft engine have been boosted with additional heat treating as part of the overhaul to update the company’s 6-speed automatic line and appeal to modern truck customers.
The 2019 Ram 3500 houses the first engine in the heavy-duty pickup class to reach 1,000 lb-ft of peak torque, powered by an all-new optional high-output turbo-diesel 6.7-liter Cummins inline-six-cylinder workhorse.
The new transmission benefits from stronger planetary gears and a new heat treatment system designed to significantly widen the range of optimum operating temperatures. ~ PickupTrucks.com
