Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins GASOLINE Engine *Heavy Mechanic Review* | Will It REPLACE The 6.4L HEMI?

I Review the 6.7L Cummins Gasoline Octane Engine rumoured to be going into the Ram 2500 HD pick up trucks and replacing the longstanding 6.4L Hemi engine . I discuss 5 reasons why this new Cummins Gas engine would be a great replacement in the Ram 2500 trucks. starting with the massive torque figure of 660 lb-ft of torque.

Well I was very excited Dive into the new 6.7L cummins Gas engine apart of their new HELM engine project allowing for the same engine platform to run multiple fuels with the hope of reducing the carbon footprint using low carbon emitting fuel and well the first engine of this project is the 6.7L Gasoline running cummins engine.
just so happens that Ram is probably looking for a new engine in their HD trucks to replace the 6.4L hemi V8 and well the timelines line up very well so there is a large speculation that the 6.7L cummins gas engine could find its way in the Ram trucks.
this cummins gas engine is putting out 325HP and 660 lb-ft of torque which is way more then the current hemi v8 offered in these HD trucks and much more then the compotition like the 7.3L godzilla V8 in the ford F250 superduties.
and that is the first reason - the torque generation
the second reason why I like these engines is the strenght they will most like have. being built on the 6.7L diesel backbone and sharing most components this gas engine will be a complete stronghold.
the third thing I like the the reliability. again being built on the 6.7L platform from the diesel engine. these gas engine should be just as reliable and well they are also coming with no emission systems which could make them even more reliable.
the fourth thing I like is the Cummins/Ram relationship developed over the last 30+ years so ideally this gas engine will be very easy to sort out between the two companies.
lastly is that this GAS cummins engine would most likely perfectly bolt up to the new ZF 8 speed powerline transmission which could be an absolute killer combination.

I can imagine the sound living in an emissions state of a gas 6.7 cummins with no muffler. I think I can live with the loss of the hemi in the 1500 if I can hear that cummins sound legally. And the reliability of a deleted 6.7 and some because id assume that a failing gas injector cant melt a piston, let alone a diesel piston. Pray they actually do this. Id go as far to say that if done, the gas 6.7 would lower current pre emission diesel prices back to normal.

[@bigedmayra]

The Duke says, who says it's going to be overbuilt? Diesel engines are overbuilt by design because of the high compression they create. You don't need an over designed overbuilt block for a gas motor. For example the 6.4 hemi is not built like a diesel engine. That includes Chevy and Ford. Stellantis is going to want them to make it as light as possible. What did I teach you?

[@leroybrown1994]

Well done video. I like the Cummins gas motor option in the heavy duty truck applications. Should help bridge the gap with low end torque between diesel and gas engines, especially while towing. Cummins is the perfect company to introduce these new generations of gas engines based on their previous reputation of power and reliability across the board.

[@benhart16]

The Cummins gas engine might just be the ticket. Imagine everything you love about your current Cummins including the awesome fuel economy, now imagine the fuel is 50 cents cheaper and there’s no def. Win win win.

I'm not sure about the rest of the country, but here in southern Nevada diesel is finally about 50 cents less than regular unleaded. NOW the world is no longer upside down like its been for several years in this aspect.

I like this gas engine with a turbo. The horsepower and torque numbers sound good and is prolly a lot more cost effective than a diesel. I like my diesel but this would be a good alternative

[@zzoomn]

You know, I love the idea of this. Especially the “overbuilt” aspect of this gasoline engine. However, I can’t help be skeptical wondering if Stellantis will do this. I have no inside information, but it sure seems to me it’s going to be one heavy, and expensive engine. I can understand the efficiencies in manufacturing, but I’m not sure it will be enough to prevent a large increase in MSRP. As far as performance, it’s going to have to be a low-revving grunt monster. I can’t see this reciprocating mass revving much. Probably will be fine (probably great) in a big truck. I’m cautiously excited.

[@renurenovationsllc7780]

The expensive parts of the diesel Cummins are, the ultra high pressure fuel pump, the Ultra high pressure injectors, the $8,000.00-ish to replace exhaust, take this away and you get a much simpler, much lower cost, much lower maintenance engine. The problem with all the current gas turbo truck engines is super high cylinder pressures, heat etc from squeezing tons of horsepower out of half this engine size.

[@zzoomn]

I hope you’re right. I’m rooting for this potential option. We’ll see.

[@VHP7044]

Good idea that has merit. Add a7 speed manual and I will be first in line.

[@richardlea818]

Large I6’s tend to have exactly the torque curve you’re talking about. Max torque well below 2500 rpms. The old Ford 300s acted just like that. A bigger, more modern HD I6 just makes sense. V8s are great, but an inline just makes more sense for a truck.

My bet is that the base engine in the 2500 becomes the hurricane (with the existing transmission) since it already has more torque at lower RPM then the 6.4, but it won’t be good for high work duty cycles so they offer the 6.7 gasser as an upgrade with the new HD transmission for a hefty price and significant extra weight but boosting towing numbers; possibly better payload too if they offer stiffer springs with this package to help achieve towing tongue weight

That's a great idea! As you said, the strength of the bottom end, and the rest of it is perfect. It would probably require very little re-tuning. Another hole in the head, a sensor or 2 on the crank and re-profile the cam timing. Even with the turbo, it should bring reliability up and equal to the iron block LS. I have that in my GM Silverado and it's a great engine. No reason the 6.7 would not be a very high mile engine also. Even if they used the Aisin trans, like the diesel option. Thanks!! --gary

What I don't see a lot of is the resale factor. I could absolutely get away with a gas engine, but I drive a diesel instead, and it's simply because of longevity and resale. When you factor in how a diesel holds its value, they're almost always a better financial decision in the end.

I suppose this goes along with the Hurricane I6. For smog reasons it may have been more cost effective to have an all new I6 than add new items to the 6.4 hemi. I never heard of a GDI hemi V8, and I do not know what would be needed to make one. Until GM made the Gen V LS, I figured it took a DOHC 4V engine to have a GDI engine. A low revving I6 makes sense for long life. The Ford 300/4.9 was an overbuilt engine with a low redline. It only got cancelled to meet smog. The 1996 F150 was the last one, and it had all kinds of extra smog stuff. It led to the basic 1997 F150 getting the 4.2 V6.

I understand when you say "no emissions" what you mean, but consider you will still be looking at catalytic converter(s), EGR, EVAP, etc. I fully understand the advantages you refer to not having an exhaust filter SCR, DEF etc and not having those are huge but there are still emission control devices involved.

Torquee turbo gas 6.7 in a HD paired to a 8spd ZF? Yes please. Those power numbers are very mild for a turbo gas engine, read reliable. Compared to 3.5EB making over 100hp/140ft-lbs per liter, vs this cummins at 50hp/100ft-lbs per liter...so hopefully it should live a long time doing HD stuff. I drive a 18 dmax but would love if there was a reliable turbo gas option from ram

[@DillonPrecisionFan]

The better question is which EPA rating is the 320HP and 660ft lbs from, below 14k lbs GVWR or above 14k lbs? Due to differences in the EPA tests for those two cases, you get different power and torque ratings. I'd be interested in a 6.7 Octane in a Ram 3500 with a ZF Powerline trans. My 2012 Ram 3500 with 6.7 is rated at 350 HP and 800 ftlbs.

[@-_-saucynocap2427]

Very interesting. Love my 6.7 3500 (2011 so no def😊). Amazing truck and motor. Could be a big winner for both RAM and C to have gas version. My negatives are: 1- Cost. C motors adds a big premium to HD trucks. No way the gas version can compete with Stellantis cost to build a 6.4 Hemi. 2- Untested bleeding edge. Risk to both Ram and C to go high production of first gasser. The could be devastating to both if this engine is a stinker. 3- Performance. High torque, yes, but will likely be quite slow by going with the diesel block and long stroke pistons. So KZbin will have fun showing off how Ford and GM walks over the C Rams ( except for towing, which is what counts). 4- Ram HD production very limited to what Cummins production volume of gas power plants. C volume of 6.7 Diesel was much less than half of the total Ram HD trucks. This new gas power plant would mean all Ram HD must have a C engine. 5- Weight. The 6.7 power plant is about 1100lbs. 6.4 is less than half. This could be a real issue for those that need high payload more than high towing capacity. Anyways, I still think good on Cummins for coming up with modern solutions.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

With few bolt on part changes, like oil pan, intake and exhaust, Ram could tilt the block and call a Ram slant 6. Just a little old school.

[@charlesb4267]

When you said how long Ram has partnered with Cummins, that appears to date back to 1989 when the first Dodge/ Cummins truck came out on the market. Had Dodge not done that and if they had not come up with some other diesel engine source or made their own and would have had to have been a reliable hit with the market, Dodge "Ram" sure wouldn't have the presence they have today. I know a lot of guys that bought a Ram simply because of the Cummins engine, not because they were thrilled with the truck itself ( at least years back anyway )

[@shainester]

You're 100% correct. Without Cummins, Dodge / Ram would be a small fraction of what they are today, or may not even exist at all.

If there was a decent substitute for the outstanding exhaust brake on my 2016 Cummins, I'd honestly switch ASAP just to get out from under these emissions issues.

[@shoryuag]

If the 6.7 Gas is going to make such strong torque numbers, especially at such a low RPM, it’s going to have to be boosted in some fashion. You can’t build that kind of cylinder pressure that low otherwise. Also, I don’t think the stroke or weight of the rotating assembly is what helps the engine make that kind of power so low down. The heftiness of the bottom end will definitely help with reliability though. If the 6.4 was designed to handle the forces as reliably, it could do the same thing with a smaller cam, smaller ports, a redesigned combustion chamber with DI, and a turbo.

[@Rockrewls]

Ram and Cummings should do it!

[@wgreenjr81]

I'm sure you'll mention this in your 5 con's video, but unless Ram finally gives up their blind adherence to the 10k GVWR for the 2500's, switching to the gas Cummins could be the death nail for their gas HD truck line. One of the prime benefits of a current gas 2500 over a Diesel is the difference in curb weight thus higher payload. If you've got a common block and a lot of similar componentry, yes you'll shave some weight by ditching the aftertreatment system, but that is gonna be one hefty beast. Far heavier than a gas HD buyer is going to be accustomed to.

[@joshuaroberts7511]

That would be pretty awesome to have low end torque like a diesel, but be able to rev like a gas engine! I think it would be a win fir both Cummins and Dodge!

[@brucerusk7934]

Just from the numbers this will be a diesel like low RPM engine. High torque, low horsepower and long stroke dictates this will be a very low RPM engine. If you take a similar torque curve I would assume this isn't revving over 3200 RPM from the factory.

[@Iherb7365ket]

This combo could keep me in a Ram From what info I have seen out the only difference between the gas and diesel 6.7 is from the head gasket up I am sure there will be slightly different pistons but they are claiming the rest is the same engine

[@TheGettyAdventures]

I also think the piston will be different but ya it sounds like the vast majority will be the same.

[@jaykanngiesser3454]

The root problem of the current turbo gasoline engines is the strength of the engine platform. Ie: main, rod bearings, heads are made as light and small as possible to maximize profit and payload. CAT has long had a natural gas version of their motors. Valve recession is a significant problem with those engines, but otherwise pretty reliable. Cummins needs to pay attention to head and valve seat cooling in particular to avoid this issue. I’ll be watching!

[@jimmy4x4socal44]

I’d buy one for sure. 6.7 inline six with turbo charging? That would be perfect for my needs. I have a diesel but it’s getting up there in miles I’d trade it in on this

[@derekbryant6137]

I'm waiting for that 6.7 gas engine to come out because I'm going to swap my 5.9 with it I'm also going to put a 6-speed manual behind it waiting for that crate engine to come out

[@TheGettyAdventures]

I like the sounds of that!

We need a 7.3 Ecoboost

[@rogermadrange1724]

🤣

[@timcartwright4679]

Ford specifically built the 7.3 to get away from the Ecoboost issues.

[@jeanclaude7018]

Is this the modern Hall-scott gasser? Hope tbe mileage is better.

[@jacobwhittaker6241]

The one downside I see is that usually spec'n a truck going from gas to diesel is an additional cost of $6K-$10K. I think with these new gas Cummins the price for the gas/diesel may very well be the same and the price of the base truck price will just be higher. Granted the gas doesn't have a $8K exhaust system on the gas version I could be wrong.

[@BeanoNoir]

The biggest issue I see with it is the weight. These are not famous for being light. Even without the emissions equipment, it will still be an 800+lb pig. I also don't forsee them being cheap either. Ram will more likely modify the displacement of the 6.4L for power, but they don't have the monetary advantage of Ford in also being the main Gas engine supplier for motorhomes and other blank chassis applications, as well as multiple medium duty contracts. I don't expect massive changes to their HD pickup lineup.

[@jonallen1985]

Turbos for diesels and superchargers for gas engines, that’s my preference.

[@mertz313]

Would be cool to have a gasoline Cummins engine, but where would it fit? Would it be able to tow the same as a diesel engine? If it’s just going to tow the same as a 7.3, our company would rather stick to that since ford HD gas engines are pretty easy to work on and very reliable.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

I think Ram would probably want it to sit above the 7.3L but obviously below the diesel engines. It is an interesting question because the gas engine are starting to really push into the diesel engines territory. the 7.3 I think can tow north of 18K when properly equipped so I can't blame anyone going with Fords Godzilla engine!

[@roadglide1142]

Will I be rushing out to trade in my all paid for bought new 2023 Ram 2500 HD 6.4 for this? No I’ll let the overzealous guinea pigs test it for me first on their dime ! 😂 My 6.4 does whatever I need it to do.

​@billyzgoneape it make sense for what he or she needed it for everyone doesn't need a Diesel

[@sonsofliberty3081]

​@billyzgoneape umm... you probably are completely unaware that diesel is quite a bit more expensive than gas. If you factor in price per mile, gas wins or equals out. Those 2500s have over 3k lbs of payload compared to 1,800 with a diesel. I have a megacab wit 4.10 rears. I live in an area thats flatter to my east and mountains to the west. I get 19mpg+ if i go east and 17.5 going west. If I am pulling horses, I get 12.2 everywhere. It doesn't seem to matter the direction. I don't drive like a jackass though. I have way over 1 million miles pulling oversized loads in a big truck. That 392 is plenty for 15k lbs. The raiting on my vin says 18,900. I don't think that's logical with any 2500. This 6.4 is fully forged. You probably didnt know that. Right down to the wrist pins. I have seen a guy with a fleet of 6, 6.4l 3500s that pull hot shots of 20k all the time. He's getting 350-450k .miles with zero issues. This cummins gasser is the same as the diesel with a different head. It probably will be better yet.

[@Lq32332]

@@billyzgoneapeYa who wants more payload, no emissions or def, and to spend $10k less? A diesel makes less and less sense- these days it’s almost always going to cost more in the short and long term.

[@sonsofliberty3081]

I do believe partly that the 5l was a fail and the 6.7 issues all stem from epa standards. I had a 12.7l Detroit from 2000. I put on am oversized turbo and turned it up around 525hp. I ran the piss out of it for about a million miles before I sold it. Still didn't use oil. Had an N14 from 1995, same thing. 410hp. I had another n14, it was a wierd hp, 485. No issues. My dad's last motor was a C15 from 2004. He had 650k miles and then went in and took the egr out and slapped on a big turbo, then had it turnned up to over 700hp to the ground. He ran it to 1.8 million miles like that. It was using a gallon of oil every 12k miles at the end. He did an in frame and he's around 2.5 million right now. Cat made him put all the crap back on to get the factory warrenty in the rebuild. When you're blowing 30k to rebuild a motor, you want the 250k mile warranty. They need to just leave these makers alone and let them build what sells. My dad still has a 2003 ram with the 5.7l he bought new in aug of 2002. Not a thing wrong with the mechanical aspect at all. The body is rusting.

[@jeremygregory7178]

So I’m assuming it will be turbocharged. Should be the same as the diesel except for the head and pistons right.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

More or less what I'm thinking. obviously different fuelling set up. it should have a different turbo as well. but the rotating assembly looks and block look to be very similar.

[@KegOpetator]

I see a ProCharger in your 6.4 hemi future. Do it

[@bloopbloop9687]

I wonder if it would be possible to make a compression ignition engine using gasoline, as supposed to diesel. Still get many of the efficiencies of diesel, but without the cost of fuel, or the emissions of diesel

[@Joe-hn1xv]

Yes. A homogenous charge compression ignition engine

[@bloopbloop9687]

@Joe-hn1xv I like your funny words magic man

Sounds great but it sounds like Stalantis is trying to kill off the Ram brand anyways. So that’s probably just a pipe dream.

Hear me out if they make it run on 93 octane and use water methanol injection along side it could easily make more power than the diesel version

[@mauricemotors8207]

Yes but diesel fuel itself still is king because it’s available and you can get a lot of power of diesel fuel.

Very interesting lol

If Ram wants to gain market share on its HD trucks, it’s going to need to significantly improve payload, towing and it should discontinue the mega cab and bring the 1/2 ton crew cab body over to the HD trucks. I’d simplify the HD trucks offering a single cab, and crew cab. I’d the. Make sure they have the best body, frame and powertrain with an update scheduled for every 4 years and an “all new” truck every 8 years. Currently the RAM HD is the old frame, pretty much the old cab with updated interior and front end.

[@philliplancaster1273]

Probably gonna be like the 5.0 v8 diesel that they hit a home run with.

[@elihernandez330]

It's gotta have two plugs per cylinder. No way just one will be efficient. But I'm all for big gas engines. Not spending 10k on the optional diesel if I'm not towing 15k+. i loved my old torquey 460 f350.

[@michaelmccormick8562]

They did this because aftertreatment woes on the mid duty diesel trucks are causing too many problems. The 6.7 gasser is going into class 5 trucks only

[@user-ui4iv8dz3w]

But will it still be a 20k option upgrade?

[@chadmiller6487]

Any plans to review the new Ford 6.8 gas?

[@yanglue611]

Using some old technology but different kick off. Like the older Chevy diesels that are not Detroit design. The diesel engine was so weak that GM made a gas conversion kit. The gas conversion produces more power than the diesel counterpart. With Cummins doing a gas engine head design, this will be a high compression gas engine. If it wants to pass emissions, the high likely fuel going to be used is E-85 know full well what EPA is going to set. 91 Octane will be minimum. It'd be more interesting how they are going to get to set for 87 Octane. This is going to be interesting.
