CUMMINS DIESEL

The legendary 6.7L Turbo Diesel

The Cummins 6.7L Turbo-Diesel engine is in most of the Dodge RAM 2500 and 3500 Heavy-Duty pickup trucks and RAM 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis cabs we see in our shops. Approximately 75% of all RAM 2500 and 3500 Heavy-Duty pickup owners chose the optional Cummins Turbo Diesel.This diesel engine features Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) after treatment that uses Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), contributing to a 10 percent increase in fuel economy and best-in-class 15,000-mile oil-change intervals, keeping more of your hard-earned money in your pocket. Owners also benefit from a new cooling system that affords 25 percent more heat-rejection capacity. A high-efficiency fan, dual radiators, dual transmission coolers, and a charge-air cooler lower operating temperatures and deliver improved performance. Clean, efficient, dependable, and durable. Our diesel mechanics are up-to-date on all the new technology and have the training you need to keep your Dodge diesel truck performing well. 

The Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel

Our Nissan TITAN XD drivers who wanted diesel power have the Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel which provides 310 hp and 555 lb-ft of torque to their Nissan TITAN XD pickup truck. This combination provides a balance of capability and fuel economy for different truck models and driving type but the same engine and we love working on both of these Cummins diesel engines in all their variations. We like to say, Cummins pickup truck engines provide legendary power, reliability, and durability. No wonder so many pickup truck owners insist on Cummins or nothing at all.

When you're looking to boost your vehicle's performance, our certified mechanics can help make the right adjustments. As we work on all Cummins engines and know the technology have the diagnostic tools and skills to take care of all the maintenance and repairs as well as any comprehensive repairs you need.
