You think this is repairable?

And thankfully it blew up out of the chassis, saving a perfectly good Dodge/Ram from damage!

Probably not...I expect it was a competition pulling engine.

Is this The little Engine that Couldn't?:B

See how powerful the Cummins is? Even after the block is gone the crank is still spinning!

All four of my Cummins Rams blew up, caught fire and burned down my 5th wheel! Pretty cool it was still running after it blew.

Um, optimum compression ratio for diesels is 16.5 to 1, so I doubt it would be as low as 15 to 1.

YOU ARE CORRECT... for normal boost...

must lower compression as boost levels go about 40 psi...

You have obviously never heard of a man named Red Green. :B

Dodge guys brag about no cab off repairs. But I am guessing this would make a cab off experience whether they wanted it or not. :B

Yea, but the great thing about this is no cost cab removal... Won't get that with a Ford!
