I dunno, I met a guy a week ago who has a new cummins and said if the dealer has to take his truck back one more time, it's going back under the lemon law. Something about not running right on the new low sulphur fuel????

how new is new? The 2007.5's and up were designed to run on ULSD (15ppm). I bet he is having problems with the DPF clogging up and the truck not re-genning. Does he run it hard and leave the exahust brake on at all times (givin its a 6.7l), or does he baby it around and let the truck idle all day?

stock '05 Cummins not sure which one(5.9 I think) but i drove from Garland to South Padre on one tank of fuel and still had some left. Thought that was pretty good. I believe it was around 670-680 miles outta one fill-up. Granted that was at the time diesel was around 4 bucks.

I towed my 20' bass boat from Tyler to Shreveport at 90-95mph most of the way (still had pedal left) and got 11-12 mpg on that tank. The truck was stock.

Now I think about how dumb that was since it was only a single axle trailer.

Have a 5.9 six speed, with the bully dog programmer I get between 19-22 on the highway. Plus I took it to the drag strip and ran a 14.60 at 100mph, and that is leaving in 3rd gear!

Pulls my race car and boat like nothing I have ever owned before.

I have an 05 ram 2500 with the 5.9L and automatic transmission. I've been searching the Internet on if this transmission is good or not but haven't found much info. I read the standard transmission is good but does anyone know about the automatic?

I got an 06 dodge cummin. Love it. Beginning of year i did some mods to it.

billet auto tranny
66mm over 480 twin turbo
studs
springs
dual cp3s
150hp injectors
airdog fuel pump
crazy larry bullydog tune
arc flow intake manifold.

Truck was nasty. Was real diasppointed in the numbers though. Only put down 725 on a crappy dyno. Never got turbos to lite. Smoke never cleared either. Truck on a good dyno was around 800hp or so. On street once i got the turbos lite i would spin to over 90 before gaining traction. Never made it to track. We figured low 11s out of it. Also pulling boat at 100 was no problem either.

Ended up putting back to stock and buying 22s for it. Too fast for me. 11mpg all the time sucked too. But it was fun!! Any of u guys need parts or help on truck aftermarket wise let me know. Always down to work. I did all work myself on mine. And also my buddies
