Show me all the windowed cummins blocks.

Are you saying it didn't happen?

SR

What is the % of all produced Cummins inlines??

Wow in other News GM truck owners get screwed, in GM lawsuit being "decertified" concerning the 8 speed, and the 10 speed may be next.

Nate lets them have it.

It is being made for the medium duty truck market, not PU's.

Uh, UIAM ALL ISB Inline 6 Cummins are considered Medium Duty Engines already.

New reports RAM HD's will get the New B7.2 Cummins inline 6 in 2027 Not sure about going with OHC on either but the Octanes numbers are impressive and hard to argue with for low end torque...

7.2 Cummins Engine Information & Updates (B7.2)

Developing information on the 7.2 liter Cummins B7.2 engine, an inline 6 turbodiesel that will ultimately serve as a replacement for the 6.7 Cummins in Ram truck and medium duty applications beginning in 2027.

So is the 5.9/6.7 Cummins, but they put them in light duty trucks anyway.

99% of truck buyers would be happier buying a light duty truck with a medium duty rated engine than a light duty engine.

I didn’t know Cummins bought the Jacobs Engine Brake Company (Jake Brake) in 2022.
That’s a huge move.

Drat! I was already drooling over buying one.

Just because it's Medium duty, it doesn't mean it won't be in a Ram.
Ram already has a medium duty diesel in its Ram 2500-5500

The Dealer just completed the recall on the L87 6.2L engine in my 2022 GMC Sierra 1500, and it checked out ok. They replaced the oil fill cap & filter, Changed the oil to a heavier weight and listened to the engine with a fancy type of stethoscope. Pretty much what the recall notice said.

Still a bit nervous driving it though, listening for any unusual engine sounds. The good news is, I'm covered if there should be a future failure specific to the recall. It's important to keep records proving you used the right oil type though if you change your own oil.

Only a 3% failure rate though so the numbers are on my side. Too bad about the hit on the trade in value.

Medium duty, as in: It makes no sense to put a cast iron lugger in a half ton. It doesnt give high horsepower but it will deliver longevity and torque in a towing truck.

Man suffers most from what he fears (but never happens)

I have a very quiet whine in the transmission, which only i hear. I can worry about it grenading the bearing rollers through the front wall, into the bellhousing, bending the clutch bolts while being pushed through that sidewall too, like i had 21 years ago, but thats an unrealistic expectation...

When did I say “half ton”? I said 2500-5500.
Read much?
