This is from the TFL article, have seen the same info in other reports as well.
The new Cummins I6 is now 60 lbs lighter than before, according to Ram. A new cast-iron cylinder head includes new exhaust valves and springs, and new rocker arms. Pistons are redesigned and include new low-friction rings and connect to the crankshaft via newly design forged connecting rods and new bearings. An all-new exhaust manifold houses an improved variable-geometry turbocharger that can deliver up to 33 psi of boost pressure.
I doubt the power increase will be particularly noticeable, it's more bragging rights than anything. I'm more excited about the quieter engine and cabin, trailer camera option, the trailer TPMS, adaptive cruise, and of course the 1500 style interior with the 12" infotainment screen.
Wonder what the price increase will be.
