towing capacity of 23,100 pounds, the paper said. To tow the massive amount, Ram
says the truck will have a new high-strength steel frame, but it also gets more power - an

Cummins and RAM hit 2 million!

Chrysler Group has today announced that Cummins has produced the 2-millionth diesel engine for Ram Trucks, a 6.7-liter straight-six turbo diesel rated at 350 hp and distinguished by its “Cummins Red” rocker cover and breather.

This landmark engine will not be put into service, as instead they will use it for display, touring the US.

“The Ram Truck-Cummins diesel partnership is one of the industry’s most enduring and certainly fitting of such a tribute,” says Fred Diaz, President and CEO – Ram Truck Brand and Chrysler de Mexico. “Both companies have benefited greatly, but Ram diesel customers are the real beneficiaries. Every day they experience the toughness and capability a Cummins-powered Ram can deliver.”

“I am immensely proud of our association with Cummins,” says Bob Lee, Chrysler Group Vice President and Head of Engine and Electrified Propulsion Engineering. “And I have no qualms matching our truck diesels against those of any competitor for performance and durability.”

New Cummins-powered Rams boast capabilities and features that include:

• Best-in-class torque and a 10 percent fuel-economy improvement
• Exclusive dual-inlet “Ram Active Air” that adjusts induction according to driving conditions for optimal performance
• “Smart” exhaust brake for smoother driving characteristics
• Best-in-class 15,000-mile oil-change interval
• A new cooling system for improved performance and durability
• B20 fuel capability
• Next-generation Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and diesel exhaust fluid system with range of up to 4,000 miles between refills
• Dual fuel filtration system for enhanced reliability and durability in virtually every climate and environment
• Unsurpassed powertrain warranty – 5 years/100,000 miles

Chrysler Brings New Jobs to Michigan

Last week, Chrysler announced that CEO Sergio Marchionne, Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and other officials, UAW representatives and company employees will gather just before lunchtime on Thursday, November 15, at the Mack I Engine Plant to announce new investments and jobs in Southeast Michigan.

The Detroit News is speculating the announcement will be the confirmation of statements the company made last July about upgrading the engine plant to accommodate production of the Pentastar V-6. Mack I currently employs 144 hourly workers who assemble the 4.7-liter V-8 used in the Ram 1500 pickup.

While exact details of the amount to be invested and potential new hiring are not available at this time, Allpar can confirm the Mack I Plant will be getting the Pentastar engine. In addition, Chrysler will be in-sourcing parts currently made by a supplier in Mexico. According to our sources, the moves will help Chrysler resolve quality issues and save money. Under the plan, it will actually cost less to produce the engines in Detroit than it does in Mexico.
