Output was originally a bit lower before a new ECM calibration. Specs for the Cummins 2.8 put the engine at 161 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Cylinder liners are serviceable which makes the R2.8 rebuild friendly. IMPORTANT NOTE: Beginning in model year 2013, Ram redesigned the configuration of the factory intercooler to place an intercooler low and behind the front bumper. The 2.8L engine is an all cast-iron design as is the case with many Cummins diesel engines. All of these same upgrades are also built into most of the upgraded radiators and transmission coolers we offer, as well. A higher ratio means that air is more compressed in the cylinder. I did some research and came across Stanadyne performance formula and some say that is the best for a fuel additive, but it comes at a cost. It’s the lowest compression ratio of any Powerstroke engine Ford offers. Okay fellow diesel owners, looking for input on what you use in your 6.7L and why. With the installation of an aftermarket EGR cooler, you can prevent failure of the stock part and protect your Cummins ISB from catastrophic damage. The compression ratio was lower than the previous, 6.4L Powerstroke's (17.5:1) ratio. If you’d like true peace of mind on all your travels, you can call (352) 433-3800 to speak to our team at RDI Power about EGR cooler replacement. Aftermarket intercoolers feature larger end tanks for greater air flow, thicker and denser cores, and just overall better construction. The compression ratio of the 6.7L Powerstroke is 16.2:1, the same as the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine. To only enhance the shortcomings of the factory cooler, over time it becomes plugged with bugs, dirt, and other debris, severely hampering its overall cooling capability. The factory unit is subpar at best, debilitating any efforts of overall heat reduction.
6.7 CUMMINS REDLINE UPGRADE
One of the biggest changes to excessive EGT's (Exhaust Gas Temperatures) is to upgrade your factory intercooler. As diesel performance enthusiasts, battling excessive temperatures is an ongoing trend. Heat is one of the biggest threats to overall powertrain longevity and function in your 2019+ Cummins.
