6.7L Cummins VS 6.7L Cummins HO

[Showme_5vr]

For those of you that have towed with both the High Output Cummins and the regular Cummins was the HO worth the extra $2800?

A deal no matter how you slice it.

I want to thank those of you that have replied. It appears that when ordering a 2023 RAM 3500 SRW Crew Cab long bed that the HO upgrade is now almost $4000 more not the $2800 it was for the 2022 model year. So we have gone with the regular 6.7L Cummins Diesel.

When I look at a purchase like this I think ok I am going to spend XYZ no matter what. Now do I want the 4k option??? Is it really that much on a 80k or so truck? Is it going to make a future sale easier and for more money?

I had a 68REF DRW RAM with 3.42's, wife wanted a BIGGER RV so I ordered the same truck with the AISIN, 4.10's and HO engine. Will I get whatever the up charge was back at time of purchase? I would say yes or near so.

On edit after looking at the last few posts You should have ordered the HO for sure!!!!!!! OH and also the Factory Rear Air, you will thank me!

So where did Showme 5rv get his pricing? I do not see 2023 in the build web site.

I am confused? The build site does not have 2023's and the 2022s show a 2800 difference. Is some dealer jerking someones chain?

If the HO is now a $4000 increase vs $2800, have they made some kind of change to justify the increase? Is the HO still 420 HP/1075 lbft of torque? Still the same 6 speed Aisin?

My 2012 now has a little over 100,000 miles on it. It’s always been an extra vehicle, and I’d say over 80% of those miles are towing something. Knock on wood, it has been mostly troublefree.

I’m not in love with the 68RFE, I’d much rather have a proper 8 or 10 speed transmission, but I also don’t think it’s nearly as bad as some here make it out to be.

Congrats on the new truck. I hope you don’t have to wait too long to get it.

I have towed 15,500 now for over 8 years with my 2014 with the 68RFE, never missed a beat , have had number of recalls ,and a turbo actuator replacement ,but otherwise been pretty dependable .

I don't think you will regret it. I have had no issues with mine.

Lets see, GM went to the Desmo pump as the CP-4 pain was to much for them. RAM reversed back from the two years of CP-4 failures. Saw a new 5500 with 9,500 miles with failed CP-4. Guess who still uses the CP-4?

Here is a picture of the 5500 being unload at RAM dealer.

We now know the CP4.2 pump doesn't tolerate air in the fuel especially after a fuel filter change and guess who didn't use a lift pump?

Cummins used a asymetrical CP4.2 pump and they were failing like crazy and tried to switch to a symetrical pump but it was too late. Guess who doesn't use a asymetrical pump?

You can package a turd anyway you want and you've ultimately still got a turd. I wouldn't buy a vehicle with a CP4 in it.

Ya well we all know about Fords. CP3's are now being switched out on a recall.
