[QUOTE="Flat-Bed_3rd_Gen, post: 1344312, member: 18710"] so I'm not a math whizz but wouldn't you still need a higher amount of engine "torque" for that equation to work???? i mean you have a motor with 250hp and 525lbsft vs a motor that has 325hp and 610lbs ft. Wouldn't the 610lbsft engine still produce more "torque"???? and then still be able to pull a hill better? Also for the "power band" you realize that the engine produces its most power at peak "torque" levels? run the whole power graph through the formula and it will drop a little after peak torque is reached... that is why diesel are run at lower rpms there is no need to run faster, why spin faster if nothing is gained? Yes they are supposed to and i can't wait i want one, they are planning on putting it in the 1/2 ton trucks. Its supposed to be a smaller engine so the truck can handle it... At least that is what dodge is telling us the c&c has a different exhaust system then the normal 6.7l. It passed as a commercial truck and fell under different emissions laws so all the computers are tuned a little different and this is also the reason for the power differences... this all changed in 2010 it is now the same powertrain. for my 2 cents i prefer the Cummins, i like the inline 6 design where you have a cap on either side of any given rod, the fuel injection system is less complex, the turbo system is less complex... As for which one is better? you can't really compare them their not in the same league the v8 designed diesel is for "small" trucks as a "light duty" engine, the inline 6 is a work engine look at old case tractors what engine is in them? 5.9l case engine, which then later became the Cummins ISB, you cant compare them one was for work, one was for a truck [/QUOTE]
