I hope everyone is having a great super bowl weekend! I've done some recent reviews on both the 6.6 Duramax and the 6.7 powerstroke so I figured it was time to re-visit the 6.7L Cummins and explain why i think it is the best of the 3 diesel HD pickup truck engines.
now firstly with a modern diesel engine. by law they have a lot of aftertreatment components on them which is making them less reliable so it is hard to predict the future as to which engine will outlast the other. so this is why I wanted to focus on more concrete things like engine design and why the 6.7 Cummins engine design is superior to both ford and Chevy.
so the first reason is how long the Cummins stroke is. the Cummins stroke is far longer then both the Duramax and the power stroke. this gives the Cummins a huge mechanical advantage in terms of crank throw. the longer the crank throw is or the further the rod is from the center of the crankshaft allows for more leverage. more leverage equals an easier time to create torque. this is why the Cummins can create torque so well low in the rpm range. exactly what you are looking for in a diesel engine.
the second reason is the inline 6 design. an inline 6 engine like the Cummins is extremely well balanced and results in durable yet simple engine.
the third reason is the strength built into the Cummins. in 2019 Cummins added tons of strengthened components and what separates them from the rest is they still run an Iron head. its heavy as all hell but also a very strong engine because of it.
I hope you guys like the video!

I was driving my 04.5 3500 dually to Kapuskasing pulling my 18,000 pound toy hauler. We drove the last 3 hours into a 50 mph headwind at a steady 70 mph with my foot to the floor the whole time. When I arrived just after dark, we got out of the truck and I noticed a red glow under the engine. I popped the hood thinking there was a fire and I was amazed to see the exhaust headers were cherry red up to the first connection. The water temp was in the normal range the whole time. I put 450,000 miles on that truck and the engine never used a drop of oil in between changes. I've owned 5 one ton Rams. My present one, a 2016 with 4.10 differential and the 6 speed Aisin transmission is the best I've ever had.

Another big advantage of the straight 6 diesel engines is each piston connecting rod has its own journal on the crankshaft. (In V engines each journal is connected to two pistons.). The straight 6 engine therefore has more bearing area per connecting rod and therefore lasts longer, much longer. Several decades ago most manufactures in the US had V8 diesel engines, they didn’t last as long and were discontinued.

@aaronhumphrey2009 Год назад

The performance of the 5.0 Cummins V8 has been underwhelming. Not as durable or fuel efficient as the I6 6.7

@markam306 Год назад

@@aaronhumphrey2009 I’ve heard the same. The engines that are now in the Nissan pickup trucks were designed from the start for light duty trucks. Of course the first requirements were keep the weight down and engine length. For a diesel engine this is not a recipe for long life.

You can get a Banks intake and that deletes the heater grid and replaces it with a better intake heater unit. It doesn't fit on the commercial version of the 6.7 in the Ram 4500 and 5500 however, as those engines are set up with a slightly different intake bolt pattern and are de-tuned from the 400hp down to the mid 300's for longevity. It would take machining to fit the Banks intake on the commercial 6.7, voiding your warranty. No word on whether Banks will do an intake for the commercial version.

I will say my dad has a 6.7 Cummins service truck (I don’t know what year) that dropped a valve and he had to replace the whole engine around 150k miles. It happened about a year after he deleted it. They thought it was a bent lifter rod at first but that wasn’t the case. I love straight six engines esp being a semi driver myself but that really surprised me with the Cummins. I’m a die hard Cummins’s and duramax guy but I believe the later 5.9’s are the way to go.

@dgrif9387 Год назад

Great information

@G53X0Y0Z0 11 месяцев назад

If you are comparing engines of equal displacement and power output, the longer stroke gives the piston more leverage, but the area on the smaller piston is less so with the same cylinder pressure it will have less force. Short strokes will have relatively large bores so the force pushing the piston down will be more. Also, the 6 cylinder will have more displacement per cylinder and therefore larger bores and strokes than the 8 cylinders. Piston speed is an issue for reliability and longevity, especially when the pistons and rods are heavy, short stokes can turn more RPM with the same piston speed as a long stroke engine. There is way more to this issue of RPM, torque, and HP than long strokes vs short strokes than I touched on here.

I love my 16 Ram CTD, and it’s been great to me (212K miles) but looking at the ease of maintenance of the Duramax, that’s prob where I’m going for my next one. Ease of access to all the filters and a few other things like bed access steps, makes it very tempting to switch to.

I've got a 14 cummins. I could be wrong but i'm not entirely sure that the reason cummins uses an iron head is that it's stronger, it very well may be. I think cummins would put an aluminum head on if they could, (given the weight savings that would produce) but the length of the block and different expansion coeficients between iron an aluminum don't play well together. They'd be forced to use split heads which given the spacing between bores would be damn difficult to do. Just my 2 cents

the crew cab long box is a large truck. felt like it was 30 feet long lol

@Bloodbain88 Год назад

You'll regret not getting the crew cab. I bought a 1983 Chevy K30 dually several years ago and decided against finding a crew cab and got a single. As soon as my dog was in there and I had to pick a friend up, I thought ".....crap." And now converted to a manual it's even worse. 2 people tops. If there is a third they're sitting on someone's lap. There is just NO room to put anything in that single cab.

@@richb8061 It was mostly bought as an RV puller, we have a 30’ Toy hauler. Also for general truck stuff or bad weather driving. I think the height and length looks good. The short beds look too short to me with a crew cab. Plus long bed hauls more and makes a better tower I think.

While I don't disagree with you at all regarding the Cummins, I went for a 2500 Power Wagon. I don't have use for a truck like that. I rarely tow and use my truck to more or less commute back and forth to a remote mine site in Northern Ontario. My PW handles the shitty road conditions like a champ. I love the 6.4 V8.

@Nordic67 10 месяцев назад

Great points on the Cummins engine. Only thing I would point out as a disadvantage on the 6.7 cummins is it doesn't get the fuel economy the Duramax is getting. I own both a cummins and a Duramax lol. In so many ways the cummins is a much easier engine to work on. The Duramax however gets significantly more mpg than my cummins. Great engines and designs no doubt. Stay away from the 6.7 PowerChoke, 4 friends have made the mistake 3 of 4 now have a cummins. The 6.7 Powerchoke is a good engine but they have a ton of issues. I don't dislike them just don't want something less reliable. Keep em running... 👍🏻

So, I am a diesel technician at a mopar dealership. I work on a lot of these 5th gen rams Cummins. I’m not sure if you know about these new 5th gens 2019-2023’s actually have a different cam, lifter, push rod, and rocker set up reason why they are quieter valve train engine. Because they changed the solid tappet to a hydraulic lifter set up. Now people know that hydraulic lifters have shown to be a common problem. Just recently I had a 2021 ram 2500 6.7 with 37,000 miles with a odd engine tick. Pulled the camshaft. Rockers, push rods, and hydraulic lifters, and sure enough cylinder 6 exhaust rocker failed and damaged the camshaft. Had some odd wear across other valve train components. I would definitely like to get in a phone call or chat to show you what it looks like and discuss what you think about this new set up, as it is not talked about enough in my opinion.

@gsc512 Месяц назад

There is one flaw with the Cummins being an inline 6 though and that is that it does not have any coolant moved to the rear of the engine. Instead, what Cummins did is they rely they relied on just the port sizing of the coolant passages bigger at the front and smaller at the rear so that the coolant would want to move towards the back of the block. But you can put in bypasses so you can stabilize the temperature across the top of the motor. Oh, and are they fun to install? It's the best time ever😅 and of course the exhaust manifold wanting to break and or break your cylinder head because they didn't use one piece. They use two and with cylinders five and six. If you don't do a coolant bypass getting so much hotter than 123 and four then of course you have this some. Have you ever taken a cookie sheet and tossed it in water? Then it's your head that has to support the difference😅 lol
