Who would be interested in a Cummins 6.7 gas if it made 450 hp at 2800 rpm and 850 lbs torque at 1800 rpm. Finally a motor without too much emmisions crap.
You mean like the big turbo they have on it….850 lb/ft in a gasser is never going to happen in this decade. Not without forced induction. Those are diesel numbers.

Good for you. It still has a turbo and is the same engine basically from the head down…Even you can understand this; you're not getting those numbers without a turbo and I for one don't want a turbo gasser.

Sure if you want high fuel bills and ok power the 7.3 is not bad… displacement is good but no matter the displacement forced induction makes it better.Ford has the right idea. Nothing better than a big N/A old-skool pushrod v8.

And when you talk about “old - skool” you mean back when we used to put blowers on the big blocks for more power?
The OP started a thread regarding the potential 6.7 gas engine.... Which has a turbo.... Your very first post reads like you had no idea it will have a turbo.... He was just correcting you. Calm down.I love to talk trucks, but you need to drop the smug condescension. I'm just going to move on from this thread as clearly you're more interesting in pretending to be special then actually having a real conversation.
No, I meant when they were big N/A old-skool pushrod v8's.
If you think N/A fuel bills are high, you clearly haven't owned a gas turbo in a truck and worked it hard.

since there has never been a production gas/turbo HD truck before how can you say it wont be as good?
Not trying to fight with anyone tbh he just choses to take it as such i was actually trying to have a discussion about it with the last 2 posts.You two need to put each other on ignore. FFS, every convo turns into a caulk fight.
You really think that 1.6billion is any more than pocket change for Cummins? They have plenty of resources and money besides anything they would be developing would have started years agoOne thing is that Cummins has released the gasoline powered 6.7, called the B6.7 Octane https://mart.cummins.com/imagelibrary/data/assetfiles/0072230.pdf
One wonders that in light of GM potentially developing a rumored 8.3L 600hp/1200lbft duramax and the emissions fines against cummins... That cummins has lost the resources (money in fines) to develop new competitive engines, and RAM may have to move to another engine provider to compete with GM/Ford. The 6.7 Cummins High output at 420hp/1075lb-ft, will not be terribly competitive in the world of 500-600hp diesels in ford/chevy with more than 1200lbft. Also ram hasn't upgraded the transmission either... A larger displacement diesel makes sense in my mind for emissions and future power upgrades Lager displacement/lower boost could potentially mean lower combustion temps and less NOx. Maybe the 3500+ will move to the X10?
