2014 Dodge Ram light duty Diesel
« on: August 24, 2013 - 12:10:51 PM »
Any comments about it?
I'm guessing a lot of people arent happy its not from Cummins, but italian built  :dunno:
I dont know what happened with Cummins, but I heard it mostly had to do with Dodges financials a few years ago?
Anyways, here are a couple links to it if you havent heard, and it seems great to me they are finally putting one in a 1500.

I heard Dodge was doing a 1/2 ton diesel , I know Cummins had a small engine ready to go , no clue why they would not use that  :dunno: good addition though  :2thumbs:

Cummins is putting the small 5.0 liter v8 they developed into the next generation Nissan instead. It's a shame it's not going into the Ram 1500! The Italian goonies are running the show now so that's what it gets, Italian diesel. A damn shame the cummins is the only reason ram diesels have been so successful IMHO
