You won't have to wait until 2019 to see cummins up power output. I no doubt believe they will up power for 2018 model year to regain torque lead.
What's ram going to do to improve the 68rfe to handle the extra power? We also know mild tuners wreak havoc on the cummins head gaskets!
Seams like it going to take some serious investment to take it to the next level.
1)They don't have to upgrade the 68rfe, they have the Aisin.
2)a canned tune isn't factory programming. A canned tune likely is just adding fuel. From what in have read, without changing VGT turbo vane geometry cylinder pressures will rise. If a proper tune is written you shouldn't have issue.
3)torque management is also an everyday acceptance on all the diesel engines to allow the rest of the drivetrain to hold up to the massive numbers current diesels put out.
1)So your saying ram is going to install the aisin in the 2500 trucks?
2)So your saying aisin can handle a ~60hp bump just to match the competition?
3)I can assure you my truck has very little torque management and with an upgraded Allison I'm sure the Chevy will have very little too, and hall balls up mountains all day long.
Your wrong about the torque management, the Chevy and Ford have an immense amount just like the Cummins does. Otherwise they would all break diffs, twist DS's and bust all kinds of other parts in low gears.
