COLUMBUS, Ind. (Feb. 3, 2010) – Cummins Inc. today announced a multiyear extension of its current agreement with Chrysler Group LLC. Cummins will supply 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel engines for Ram Heavy Duty pickups and Chassis Cab trucks while continuing to grow its partnership with Chrysler, which began 21 years ago.
Cummins has produced over 1.7 million Cummins Turbo Diesel engines for Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks since 1989. Today, over 80 percent of Ram Heavy Duty truck customers purchase their truck with the legendary Cummins Turbo Diesel.
The first Cummins Turbo Diesel was used in the 1989 Dodge Ram, with projected sales of less than 5,000 engines. Actual sales exceeded 20,000 engines in the first year, signaling to the market that a powerful new combination had been created.
The first Cummins Turbo Diesel was a 5.9 liter at 160 hp (119 kW) and 400 lb-ft (542 N•m) of torque. Today’s 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel delivers 350 hp (261 kW) and 650 lb-ft (881 N•m) of torque. This 118 percent increase in horsepower and 86 percent increase in torque have been achieved while also reducing exhaust emissions by 90 percent. In 2007, Dodge and Cummins produced the cleanest heavy-duty diesel pickup in the market by meeting U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2010 emissions levels a full three years in advance.
“Cummins and Chrysler have a long and important history together,” said Dave Crompton, VP and General Manager, Midrange Engine Business. “The Chrysler business continues to be a key part of our MidRange engine business. Cummins is proud to supply engines for the award-winning Ram Heavy Duty and to continue working with Chrysler to develop best-in-class products that customers can trust and depend on now and in the future.”
About Cummins. Cummins Inc., a global power leader, is a corporation of complementary business units that design, manufacture, distribute and service engines and related technologies, including fuel systems, controls, air handling, filtration, emission solutions and electrical power generation systems. Headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, (USA) Cummins serves customers in approximately 190 countries and territories through a network of more than 500 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 5,200 dealer locations.

The Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel is getting star treatment now on the SPEED Channel’s popular Two Guys Garage. Special guest Sam Memmolo joins hosts Kevin Byrd and Bryan Fuller to take a look at the 21-year evolution of the Cummins Turbo Diesel from 1989 to the present.
This episode highlights the great features and outstanding benefits of the Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel, as well as the 2010-compliant emissions technology that it has used since 2007.
This episode of Two Guys Garage on the SPEED Channel will premiere Sunday, January 24, 2010, at 9 a.m. EST.
If you can’t catch it then, replay dates will be Wednesday, January 27 at 3 p.m. EST; Saturday, February 6 at 9:30 a.m. EST; Sunday, March 7 at 9 a.m. EST; Wednesday, March 10 at 3 p.m. EST; and Saturday, March 13 at 10:30 a.m. EST.

Welcome to our newest TDR Advertiser, DBR High Performance. Take a few minutes to check out their website at: www.dbrhighperformance.com. And if you're in the Tennessee area this weekend, make plans to attend the "No Cars Allowed" Show they're running this Saturday.
According to DBR High Performance owner, David Branson, "Today’s diesel trucks are a far cry from those of the past. Today we find men who use their trucks to haul heavy equipment from 9-5, haul the family from 5-9, and then run down the quickest sport compacts in town from 9 until whenever. From speed to towing to gas mileage, we can meet all your diesel engine needs."
Yes, there is a Memorial Day in May this year. No, it is not as listed in your 2010 TDR Calendar. Memorial Day is not May 24. Please correct your calendar to read May 31.
Our apologies for the error. The other holiday dates in the calendar are correct.
WHAT: A one day rally beginning at 11 A.M. and ending at 3 P.M. with individual lunches at a local restaurant.
BRING: A lawn chair for each attendee, as the dealership will not have chairs for us all. We will meet outdoors if the weather is nice. We will gather to visit with old friends and meet new ones at Honda of Winter Haven, a Honda Powersports dealer, meaning that they sell and service new and used Honda Motorcycles, Motor Scooters, ATV s, and the Honda Generator line. This facility was picked (and the price is right) after many of you expressed a desire at last year’s gathering to have a meeting place out of inclement weather. This major Powersports dealership has ample parking and both a covered outdoor area and an indoor area we can use if needed.
Honda of Winter Haven is located on U.S. 17 North on the northern edge of Winter Haven, approximately one mile south of the intersection of U.S.92 and U.S. 17. Upon your arrival, please park at the northern end of the parking lot so as to leave the main parking area in front of the building open for their customers.
Following our usual format, we’ll gather and greet from 11 A.M. until 12 noon, then go eat lunch, then return for a meeting, show-‘n-tell, and technical discussions. There will also be some giveaway stuff, too. Winter Haven Dodge has kindly agreed to show us a 2010 heavy duty truck if available. These trucks with the new body styling are just now coming into dealers.
Please reply by email if you can attend. If you have any questions, please email me or call me at 1-865-310-1512.

This year’s 4th of July Kitsap Diesel Rally was a blast! The turnout was smaller than we’ve had at previous events due to the holiday weekend, but those who were there had a lot of fun.
Of course the Dodge trucks outnumbered other brands (go Cummins!), but we did have several Duramaxes and Powerstrokes as well. TDR provided very nice Show-n-Shine plaques for Best Dodge Cummins, Best Ford Powerstroke, Best Chevy Duramax, Best Alternative Diesel, Best in Show, and People’s Choice. Geno’s Garage also gave several door prizes and a $50 gift certificate; great support for the Cummins folks!
We had several entries for the chili competition, with ribbons through 3rd place and a gift certificate sponsored by Minder Meats of Bremerton, WA. Everyone got plenty to eat with potluck in addition to chili.
B&B Landscaping brought one of their dump trucks loaded with sand, and we had an informal pull. It was great to see our “little” diesels tugging that big rig with sand flying!
The band, Knucklehead, played late into the night and really rocked! A fun group of guys with talent to spare, they took requests from Skynard to Zeppelin and kept us dancing.
Thanks to all participants and sponsors! We look forward to making next year’s event even bigger and better.

The Sixteenth Annual Turbo Diesel Register (TDR) Western Regional Rally, “May Madness,” [MM ’10] will be held April 26 - May 1, 2010 in Pahrump, Nevada. All brands of diesel trucks will be welcome. Most events will be held at Saitta-Trudeau Dodge, at the nearby Pahrump Nugget (the host hotel), and at Preferred RV (the host RV Park).
The rally will again include the vendors’ “Hall of Gottahavits,” technical talks, safety and recreational vehicle related seminars, and drag racing. There will be a Best Dressed, Show-n-Shine truck contest, and a Ram Rodeo with a Ram roundup for all attendees. At the awards banquet on Saturday evening, we expect to give away over $5,000 in prizes in random-drawings.
Attendees should plan and conduct your own "tours" of Pahrump and Vegas Valley attractions. Brochures will be available when you register. Among the notable places to visit are the Pahrump winery, the China Ranch date farm, and Death Valley. Some of these tours will require admission fees to be paid by the participants and each participant will pay for individual activities such as the entrance fee at the Speedway, fees for museums, etc. That way you pay only for what you want to attend.
The Pahrump Nugget (866-751-6500; www.pahrumpnugget.com) is the host hotel and is recently re-modeled. It is conveniently located in the center of Pahrump and close to Saitta-Trudeau Dodge. The banquet, Vendors’ Hall of Gottahavits, and Vendors’ Friday-Saturday Seminar series will be held at the Nugget. Hotel rate will be $70 ($80 weekend).
The host RV Park is Preferred RV Resort (800-445-7840; www.preferredrv.com). This RV Park is across the side street from the Pahrump Nugget. They are once again giving us the special rate of $15.49 including tax. Be sure to tell them you are with “MAY MADNESS.” They have both back-in and pull-through spaces. Their clubhouse holds 130 people and will be the site for the seminars up through Thursday.
Other options include the Best Western Hotel and RV Park (775-727-5100), and Saddle West Hotel/Casino/RV Park (800-433-3987, www.saddlewest), both in Pahrump.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to register early so we can plan appropriately. We need a good idea of how many will participate because we have to guarantee numbers for the hotel, banquet, etc.
For additional information (including vendor space and special accommodations), contact Joe Donnelly at (505) 858-1966 (phone) or Donnellyj@msn.com (e-mail).

Chrysler Introduces New ‘Best-in-Industry’ Lifetime Powertrain Warranty on Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge Vehicles
The New Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty – the first from an OEM and the longest in the industry – is a statement of confidence in the reliability of Chrysler products.
Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair covered powertrain components – engine, transmission and drive system.
Provides worry-free ownership for new Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge owners.
Auburn Hills, Mich. - Chrysler today announced that the Company would extend its powertrain warranty from the 3-year/36,000-mile Basic Limited Warranty to a new Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. The new Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty applies to most new Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge vehicles purchased from dealer inventory and delivered on or after July 26, 2007.
The Lifetime Powertrain Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair covered powertrain components – engine, transmission and drive system. The new powertrain warranty is limited to the first registered owner or retail lessee. Customers should contact dealers for details on vehicle selection.
“This new Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty is a statement of confidence to our customers to the reliability of their powertrain. It’s peace-of-mind reassurance for as long as they own the vehicle,” said Steven Landry, Executive Vice President – North America, Sales and Marketing, Service and Parts, Chrysler Group.
To continue warranty coverage, the owner must have a powertrain inspection performed by an authorized Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge dealer once every 5 years. This inspection will be performed at no charge. The inspection must be made within 60 days of each 5-year anniversary of the warranty start date of the vehicle.
Landry added, “The new Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty underscores our focus on quality and customer satisfaction. It demonstrates our commitment to customers and the confidence we have in our ability to produce quality, reliable and durable vehicles. That’s why we put ‘lifetime’ on it.”
Customers may visit Chrysler.com, Jeep.com and Dodge.com for more information. A warranty promotion – print, radio, television and Internet – begins Friday, July 27.
PLEASE NOTE: *See dealer for a copy of limited warranty and details. Non-Transferable. Not available on SRT, Diesel vehicles, Sprinter, Ram Chassis Cab, and certain fleet vehicles.
