I hope they also bought extra camshafts, clutches, fuel pumps and steering boxes. It's gotta be a real bummer putting a machine gun in the bed of truck that's always in the shop. They're also going to need a shitload of ball joints. Impossible to aim when you've got death wobble. Come to think of it, no wonder they all use Toyotas. When the closest dealer is 5,000 miles away recalls must be a real PITA.
The 2014 - 2023 Ram/Jeep EcoDiesel actually had the best version (wear package) of the CP4.2 pump in North America. An internal investigation showed a 1% failure rate.
RussellandCissy at 433,323 miles is bone stock. Most of those trucks were bone stock for the first 200,00+ miles before they were tuned. Not every tuned truck is deleted, though.
There's a CP4.1 and a CP4.2 that I know of.
Also because of the 2027 diesel emission regs. They're even tougher. Cummins redid the diesel for the Ram . Went to 7.2L. 2 alternators. One is either a 24v or 48v. Can't remember which. It just for the DPF. Plus they went back to the CP4 fuel pump because of the higher fuel pressure needed. The CP3 can't produce the pressure needed.
Yes, and there are variations within the CP4.2. Like I said, the Ram and Jeep EcoDiesel got the best wear package of all CP4.2 pumps in North America.
Ram is still running the 6.7L Cummins for 2025 and 2026. The new 7.2L is slated for 2027. They did make quite a few changes for 2025. though.
No, Ram went to the CP8 pump for 2025
Yeah, they went to the 7.2L for 2027. That's what I meant. They are offering 2, 6.7's for now. The 2500 gets the low torque, and the 3500 gets the high torque motor. Believe they all get the ZF 8 speed trannys.
There's only one engine offering for 2025 and 2026. Ram has eliminated the High Output option.
No, it's the CP8.
Hmmmm, I read that they dropped the high output option for the 2500, but the 3500 only gets the high output. Wish people would get their stories straight.
Well, it's a little confusing. Ram said they dropped their High Output option, but the new engine is rated for 430 horsepower and 1,075 lb-ft of torque across all Ram HD's.
We've actually driven that route many times. Spent lots of years in Texas (Active military). Going home to Utah to visit family - many times we went through Santa Fe, but other times through Gallup. Through Cortex, Monticello, Moab, Price, Spanish Fork - then up I15 to Brigham City.
We drove diesel GC's at three different dealerships. All of them had black carpets and interiors. My wife said she didn't even like riding in that black interior. Found out that the Overland offered an light tan interior plastic and carpet, with brown leather. That she liked.
