I work for Cummins and seeing the tech they’re coming out with behind the scenes is mind blowing. Excited for what’s coming out!

[golfbravowhiskey]

We have 7 15L Cummins running on natgas here in the oil field. All have over 50, 000hrs on them trouble free.

[pernell]

Cummins already makes natural gas engines for their natural gas generators that we use offshore and on hospitals in South Louisiana and also for water pump stations some big 6.7 L engines that work off natural gas. Or to run on diesel, the engine designed to run on natural gas or diesel whatever fuel you have.

Kubota did this because they already had diesel blocks, doesn't work the other way around because diesel blocks are stronger than gas blocks. Could make a VERY long lasting gas enginge

The look on Nathan's Face @0:17 when Andre makes a Sir Mix Alot reference, is priceless, lol.

[MattChat]

325hp and 660lb-ft torque is incredible. Those are 05-07 diesel engine numbers and those trucks tended to pull heavy loads just fine.

[legrandechene]

Good to see some ICE innovation in the face of the EV onslaught.

[fsctrucking]

Gasoline. The best delete kit made. I literally specifically ordered my Duallie 3500 with a Hemi to avoid the issues of Diesel Regulations.

[derekbryant]

Well if they got a crate engine solution and you can put it in an existing Ram because you want to get rid of the death filters and still have the ability to pull a trailer or haul a load that would be awesome and the possibility you could retrofit this to an older truck and have a stick shift behind it

[mountainsintomemories]

The gas Cummins, especially with numbers like you mention, would absolutely entice me to look at new trucks. I think it could wipe the floor with Fords 7.3 v8.

[cliffh]

this will be the next "12 valve" as far as reliability and cost of ownership. I have been saying this for years, someone needs to build an industrial straight 6 gas turbo commercial hybrid platform. they will eventually get a ton of torque out of this thing.

[ramcharger]

YES, this interests me very much. In fact the concept and application of multi-fuel diesel/inline engines has been used by US Army 2.5 and 5 ton military trucks since the 1960’s. This has a military component in it as well!!!!

[SomeTechGuy]

International used to build a huge I6 gasoline engine. The biggest one was 501 ci. But they also had 401, 406, 450.

[tornadotj]

I think it's a great idea for Ram to use these. Heck, they don't have to change any tooling, just built the chassis for the existing diesel and the gas version of this will bolt right up.

[dssstx]

Here's hoping we actually see this show up in HD trucks preferably in both gas and diesel versions, but if nothing else, in a gas version!

[derricklowell]

Absolutely interested in all the power plants that Cummins is making, and hopefully ram stays with Cummins

[williampierce]

Cummins is gonna do this. I spoke with a sales rep years ago

[NYPATRIOTBX]

We have buses with the 6.7 that run in CNG. Super quiet engines.

[knightwing]

One thing I think is that if they give up Cummins in heavy duty truck while the other manufacturers still have their diesels they will loose. Ram Trucks are very nice trucks but Cummins is a big part of what people like about them. Replacing the Hemi with a Cummins gas engine might work as long as it performs but if they give up Cummins diesel for some in house motor I think that would be a huge mistake. Cummins has a loyal following and I think people will walk away without it.

In the 90s there was available a natural gas and diesel mixed fuel aftermarket kit for large trucks and later for smaller diesel vehicles. These used about 25% methane and 75% diesel. The improvement in noise, emissions, mpg, and smoothness was incredible. It was also complicated. But it might have been better than DPF measures.
