2025 Ram 2500 3500 8 speed transmission with a new Cummins gas and Diesel engine? Ram has a surprise 

If Cummins makes a gas turbo straight 6 I’ll be first in line to order one. Forget diesel, the gooberment messed that all up.

68RFE I believe was a good transmission. The problem is Cummins owners think their truck are Freightliner’s and beat the hell out of them.

My 13 Ram is the best truck I’ve ever owned. 68 RFE and 300,000 on it. Still towing heavy and pulling strong. Exceptional engine. Will never replace my Cummins diesel with a gasser. Truck has never been in the shop except to change the transmission fluid and filter.

I sure hope so. 2025 needs a new cab but a new Cummins gas/diesel engine would be epic!

The inline cummins gas engine would bridge the gap between diesel engines and the currently available gas engines. A lot of diesel guys like myself will probably make the switch. I really hope they do this because i would love to have capable truck without emissions.

Love how ram does the HD trucks

If they do gas it really needs twin turbos. Build the engine to accept good boost numbers and build the turbos to create more torque than horsepower.

Graphite engines from 2019s and up with the Cummins are bound for many internal issues. They need to rethink that one.

Love the options, totally pro choice when it comes to what’s under the hood. We need to collectively fight against the EPA tho and regain our freedom of choice with destructive emission controls that do more harm than good.

That is great news. I have 2023 Ram 3500 Limited HO 6.7 DRW and only thing that is lacking is the mpg with 6 speed. I get around 15.5 mpg driving empty and some payloads. i would be happy with about 17 mpg

There sure is a lot of SPECULATION going on here!!

Its a sin to have a automatic behind a Cummins!!!! Bring back the stick shift Cummins!!!

Was really hoping for a diesel based hybrid.

I think the 2nd and 5th Gens are the best looking. I'd love to see a hybrid 5th and 2nd gen look 😍

I like what I have seen in the new ZF video and it was in a RAM truck

My guess is that Ram will release a hybrid 2500 with a gas 6.7. The PowerLine 8AT transmission was designed to have an integrated electric motor and stelantis already has a partnership with Samsung batteries so I think the possibility is there. Just a guess, would love to hear everyone's opinions

My 68rfe was fine. Sold the truck at 120,000 miles. All worked fine. Great truck but all stock.

I just read that Cummins will only have an HO engine in 2025 and offer one transmission. There is a little talk about a 7.1L for size.

140k and only 1 issue and it was my fault from when I changed the fluid and filter. As long as you change the fluid and filter every 50k you should get a lot of miles out of the transmission.

What about the cummins block issues have they went back to old design or still using that new one that stretches

Cummins makes great engines for big trucks and agriculture and industrial equipment. It will be cool to see a gas engine by cummins since their using a ZF transmission, I would Definitly consider a Ram but for now im sticking with my 2000 Dodge Dakota with the 3.9 Magnum V6.

The problem with the new cab is they don’t have a single cab configuration for it, and many companies buying them for fleet vehicles want a single cab. It’s the same reason the 1500 classic is still being built, to provide a single cab option to fleet buyers. So unless they come up with a single cab version of the new cab, or come out with an entirely new cab altogether, I don’t see the current cab going away anytime soon

In my opinion, beings that stellantis is focusing extensively on CAFE numbers and pretty much nothing but inline 6 engines now. It would make sense to me if they put the HD ZF behind one single high output Cummins Diesel and the already outgoing ZF behind a gas Cummins. Main reason for that is because the smaller ZF is made to handle a lot more RPMs than what the big one can

Ram day on top is coming if they get these 8 speed zf8s in the diesels and with a 6.7 gas Cummins they will take over

My thoughts - Cummins Gas and/or Diesel engines married to a ten speed Allison transmission - same tranny regardless of engine selection. Build them in the US to last ten years, without nickel and dime defects and need for constant repair.

If ram put gas Cummins in their truck. Ford will loses my business.

I don't know where that picture of that 6.7 gas engine is from but that is an X series engine that will not fit in the Ram pick up truck. That engine is designed for the big trucks. The torque output ranges from 1450 - 2050 lb ft. That amount of torque would destroy the Ram chassis. Also when you search Cummins website for a 6.7 gas engine nothing pulls up. Plus I work at Cummins and there has been no talk of a gas engine floating around but I will poke around and see what I can find. I'll update this comment if I find anything out.

I would like Cummins to make an opposing piston engine for pickup trucks.

New trans will have “auto park”, dash mounted shifter switch, and a “start stop” transmissions that shifts to neutral at every stoplight. Then no dipstick, hard to check fluid, “lifetime fluid gimmick”. New 8 speed is garbage. I’ll keep the 68rfe…

173k miles flawless miles on my 68rfe trans. Towing 30 foot fifth wheel with a 21 foot ski boat behind it all over west side of US. Tows like a dream. The thing i love most about the 68 is i can pull it rebuild it and have it back in the truck in a day. I have been a ram diesel mechanic for 10 years and have seen more Aisain transmissions fall apart than the 68. Usually 68 issues are valve body related most the time. People have given it a bad name but with minor changes it can be pretty bullet proof. Also i run a 200 horse tune with stage 1 80 horse injectors. Truck runs and drives amazing and pulls hills like it's unloaded. Had it 6 years now. Always starts and is always ready to pull anything ( and j do mean anything) without issues. Been a super reliable truck.

My guess on why they keep the gen 4 body is beause of the Megacab, where I live that is a big seller & at a time when Stellantis is putting a ton of money into EV's, my guess is that they do not want to spend the money on a new Megacab & chassis for that cab?

The docs on the ZF Powerline have it listed for 1000lbft of torque capacity, less than the current Cummins HO. It would be a hard sell to only give customers 1000lbft going forward, though GM buyers don't seem to care. I really doubt we'll see the Cummins agnostic engine as a gasser in the HD Ram. It's just too expensive.

It’s nice to see ram catching up to the competition

I think Ram will ditch the aisin and make it all 8 speeds. Ho and So, sadly i dont think the cab will get changed yet. After all, the mega cab option is still as good as the competition. As far as the cummins gas engine, i think we are still at least 3 years away from that being a possibility. This zf trans has been getting tested in the ram HD for at least 5 years already. The rumor of the cummins gas engine only circulated a year or so ago, so I'd say it needs more time yet. Just my opinion.

Will than new ZF 8 transmission fit on my 6.7 Cummins?

...I think that the cab changes drag a little over the 1500's is that guys buying the HD's are working them and are less concerned with cab specs....I know that I would be, whereas guys buying the 1500 tend to be more as a family rig and are more concerned with creature comforts etc. I don't know if a new gas six would be a thing as they currently have one in the Hurricane that has decent numbers...as far as reliability, if the Cummins gas thing is new as well then the Hurricane has more miles under it's belt and unless there are major issues with it I don't see spending money on re-tooling for an engine that may not have a big following...sure diesels have to deal with emissions junk ...but it's still an inline 6.7L...and that's a tough hill to climb.

if they do the gas with the new tranny and we see the 325 hp and 660 tq to start i think the skys the limit for this engine a little boost and more fuel can push it to 1000 lb ft easy . this engine wil be an 8-12k option it wont replace the 6.4 it will be a high cost option and a game changer because of its design to produce heaps of torque. it is very modest at 325 hp probably due to fuel economy reasons im guessing very low boostto just get that torque number up dudes r gonna build these to god knows what power

So you want a dodge with a more reliable gas engine with a better transmission and better ball joints and maybe less electrical issues?

i wonder if my trans went theyd put this beast in instead of the 68 under warranty ?

How bout Ram changes the cab and bet they have been using since 2010!! My 16 limited just looks so dated but wont buy a new one cause they havent updated the bed and cab. The new GMC and Superdutied look like at 90k truck. Ram looks like an updated 2011 60k truck.

If there is a flaw , we will discover it behind the cummins . Let’s not get too excited until we see real world usage

Ram zf is best auto tranny. My f150 10spd is close.

Dang dude you are way behind the times . Ram already came out and said they will have 3 transmissions to choose from .

The only issue I have with the Cummins is the truck surrounding it

That's it ? Upgrade the transmission to the back of the pack still

Where are you getting this information??

Oh my God, you used the word regardless correctly. Sorry my dad was an English teacher it was a horrible way to grow up. How about toward.

Biggest problem with Ram is their service departments, don't understand customer service!

They better do something quick that 1500 is Wrightof

Ram trucks are junk Cummins lifter issues have been a real problem. 5 years behind on transmission options. Feels like I’m driving a 20-year-old truck.

In my opinion Cummins hasn't made a good engine since EGR and DEF was mandated. And I've owned both in a Ram and a Class 8 truck.

When can I order a 2025 Ram HD Truck?

Ram he needs a new cab and bed. Better hitch. Heads up display. Pano sunroof. They are outclassed. Only grasping at Cummins motor.

It will have a turbocharger on the inline 6 gas motor because it's out of Castile The Head and the block and it'll be badass air-to-air system it will run 425 horsepower at 590 ft lb of torque of we've already seen the specs which is good but it's heavy but that means it's going to last a long time isn't that what we want we are tired of buying vehicles every 3 to 4 years my second Dodge lasted 25 years 295,000 mi one transmission and it ran forever

450 horse 1100 torque

The gas isn’t coming this year. I hope they do the 6.7 gas in a couple years. My god, would be an incredible rig.

Ram / Dodge need to drop the Stellantis and go back to being American and building what customers want . The EPA is not the customer.

Cummins already has had gas engines for years.

Hopefully Dodge/RAM won't go woke with a Pride vehicle like Ford and GM has in the past. Hopefully they have seen and understand what happened to Busch Lite beer.

Screw Dodge Lambs

Ram translation Gay 😂

If Ram would beef up their chassis, brakes and suspension components they would really be at the top of the segment. From my experiences it seems like the Cummins and Aisin transmissions are the only good things going for the HDs.

From Moparinsider's, 1. Same cab from A-pillar back 2. standard output going away from a singular engine output that is thought to have higher numbers than the current "high output" engines. 3. 6.4 Hemi will remain for the gasoline engine option

Everyone has lost site of what a HD truck is. Its not about auto tail gates, a bigger digital screen , a seat that manages your ass, or a bigger cab. It should be about a reliable work truck that can tow the world without spending weeks in the repair shop. I have a 2 door SLT, high output 6.7 ,asin with extreme package ,tow 5th wheel 30,000 ,fixed my own ABS pump , do my own repairs and maintance. Dealer is of little to no help .

Can’t wait to see all you gas engine sell-outs say yes to an electric truck too.

Cummins isn’t what it used to be!! Look at the junk they put in the Nissan Titan!

Im gonna be really upset if they have a huge gas i6 in the new ram hds. I just bought an f350...

I think they are keeping to Aisin for the H.O. due to its torque numbers. If they keep the old cab, I’ll get a mega. The Megacab is iconic in the HD truck community.

Everyone wanting an updated/bigger cab and I'm buying Ram because its the only 4-door short bed HD truck that fits in my garage. 😂

Ram will loose the standard output Cummings. The 8spd will be backing the HO Cummings in 2025. Every few years Ram drops their standard OT Cummings and keeps their HOs.

The 67 gas engine has been in the oil fields for quite a long time it is a good engine but on the other hand it is a heavy engine is a block is cast the head is cast but that means it's going to last a long long time that's why you buy a truck the engine is the heart linked up with a ZF transmission it will be badass

There is a new diesel engine coming and it does have roller cams which are the s*** they do have a 6.7 gas motor for a long time that ran generators in the oil fields for a long time and it is a good motor it is to go head-to-head with the Ford 6766 gas

Cummins just a name there not as reliable as people say they are I worked on those fucking things on a daily basis

Until Ram fixes their transmission probelms, I dont care what they do. I've owned 5 Dodges/Rams in my life (1 being a Cummins) but after the transmission went out in my 2018 gasser and Ram "doesn't have a single assembled replacement transmission available in the country and there are hundreds of people waiting for them to catch up" so now I have a damn $50k paperweight in the driveway with NO ETA, I can't support them any longer. Ford, Chevy, Toyota - I don't care. As long as it's not Ram, I'm good with it.

They are keeping this old cab just to continue offering the Mega Cab? Ram's short beds are 6-7 inches shorter than the competition. They need the cab from the 1500 and a 6'9" bed for the short bed. An 8sp transmission is a good start.

Wow , so it burns both diesel and gas all in 1 engine ? Interesting

I have a 24 3500 on order. Will I be able to Change out the 6speed transmission for the new 8 speed?

The cab thing is pissing me off. WTF is taking them so long? It's time for a new truck, and even my 13 yr old is too tall to be comfortable in that stupid middle seat in the back.

They should have a 10 or 12 speed not 8

For all of yall that want the multi speed auto fine, your money. I just wish they would bring back a manual transmission like an Eaton manual. Though I haven't had any issues with the G56 in my 2015 3500 drw. It's even better when I replaced the dual mass fly wheel and clutch with a single mass fly wheel kit. But I'm old school so get over it.

Thought the 6.7 has was meant for commercial trucks for the time being? Wrong?

Never buy a first year engine!

My opinion is Cummins is making a gas engine to replace the HEMI. That engine will be in the Power Wagon. I can also see the diesel Cummins having more horse power. Probably around 500 horsepower.

If the Cummins gas engines come along, I bet that Cummins had better be ready for the school bus makers to bust the doors down to get the gas engine.

Yeah buddy 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

should focuse on making emissions more reliable!!! thats whats killen new diesels!!!!!

Thats what dodge has bin doing uptill now is try to make a good cab and forgot about the front end and transmission

Ram Also needs the 10 speed transmission

If ram did not have Cummings no body would buy it

Ram HD is getting a 8 Speed ZF Powerline transmission.

My 2016's been high output forever now with an S467.7 turbo and the best transmission a G56

Will this new Cummins also have a cheat device ? Will it be dishonest Cummins ?

I changed my trans filter, and fluid every 40,thounsand and trans lasted till 318 thousand there good
