Yep. The 6.7 Cummins will over-torque the transfer case. It has to be torque protected or the engine torque-limited.Hay Dude - there were rumblings that Ram would be putting a diesel in the Power Wagon. I haven't checked lately but I don't think it's reality yet.
One thing folks have to understand about the new Power Wagon. It's a completely different suspension setup from the standard Ram 2500. The PW suspension is totally designed for off road adventure. The MAX payload for my 2018 PW is 1800 pounds. It IS NOT designed to be a work truck. My PW rides like a Cadillac in all but the most severe off road conditions. Suspension is doing its job.
I remember the old Dodge Power Wagons. I worked for the Forrest Service - JR & SR summers in high school. We had PW's for fire suppression. They rode like a COB and would carry weight - like a mule. Not the case with the new Power Wagons.
Thats why I like the Eco-diesel for the PW. Its diesel, so you get great fuel economy, but you also get good, low RPM torque for off roading.
20+ MPG and a wicked off-roader with an 8’ bed.
Ill take one.
