lol i see you haven't been introduced to an cummins w/ some aftermarket parts. Lets just say 500 rwhp is nothin on a street legal cummins, just ask some of the members of the turbodieselregister. Those boys know how to run em, as i've seen them race and run the 1/4 in 12s and 13's As fer the motor, they sell 3000 and 4000 rpm governer kits... much bigger injectors... and turbos. and as for tranies.. jsut ask dtt about theirs. Now i don't know how the newer cummins are but the 12v and 24v are darn near unbeatable. I don't mean to insult because i'm a 100% gm fan but people need to know the potential of a cummins

Yeah...you said homedude with the Cummins had an '04 not an old 12 valve (94-98). The 12 valve can be made to haul pretty well also...you can easily add another 100rwhp for about $1100. The late 90's 24 valve Cummins is a great motor also (98-01). I'd don't feel like going into detail about them but injectors are pretty cheap upgrades $500-700. A 12 valve can get a torque plate for like $350 that adds a bunch of power too. There are also more parts available for the Cummins than the DMax and Powerstroke. The really fast diesel trucks are Cummins. Check out ATS Diesel, Diesel Dynamics, etc.

I do agree Dodge needs to go back over their automatics but GM's later model ones aren't worth a **** either when they burn up 3-4 clutch packs @ 375rwtq and blowout sun gear reaction shells like it is supposed to happen. Dodge's trannies really need a badass shift kit and a big cooler, those slow shifts is what causes them to burn up.

Does Dodge offer an auto in their new trucks with the Cummins yet or are you still stuck with the big 6 speed?

you can still get the pos 4 speed auto or the 6 speed clutch killer.
