I wouldn't Hell yah just yet. I came from a Ford with cooled EGR and VGT. EGR's clog with soot and cause all kinds of headaches. EGR coolers come apart and left exhaust gas pressurize the cooling system, causing it to puke coolant all over the engine bay and/ or leak coolant into the engine intake, VGT turbos stick and make it run like crap or over / under boost it killing head gaskets. That last one put me over the top it took two weeks to get a new turbo for my truck because of national back order. I want to see what the 6.7 forum looks like after a year of them being on the raod before I trust the new technology, even if it is from Cummins. My $0.02 worth.

The big silver thing mounted under the bed, next to the driveshaft is incorrect labeled. It should read, "$4000.00 piece of crap" instead of "particulate filter". I am very weary of all the new EPA junk and ULSD diesel. I to will be very interestd in reading the 6.7 forum a year from now.

eh I dont care about the 6.7... its all about the 2nd gen stomping on the viper... (sorry should have been clearer with my excitement)

It is probably going to suck for the new truck owners... too bad we cant get to them now and let them know

I'm all for the VGT personaly. it only has one moveing part and is not complicated at all. if you go over to Cummins site and do a little research you'll see what I mean about its movement and how simple it is. I wouldnt mind haveing one on my truck, full boost at only 1200rpm

DAAAAAAAAMN !!!!


Was that Viper even running? That Ram FLEW off of the line and never gave up. It looked really cool seeing that smoke comming out of those stacks. I wish they would have shown the Viper's time. Mid 11's for a Ram .... DAMN !!!

in the back ground you could hear the guy in the viper bangin' through the gears. I think the viper ran in the high 11's
