Of all the automaker diesel offerings, Chrysler&#8217;s pact with Cummins has lasted the longest (since 1989), and word from Chrysler&#8217;s official blog is that the two companies will continue to play nicely together into the future. According to a new post on the website, Cummins and Chrysler have agreed to extend their cooperation on a multi-year basis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Cummins currently builds the 350 horsepower, 650 pound-feet of torque 6.7-liter diesel, which is optional on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/ram+hd\">Ram 2500 and 3500<\/a> and standard on the Ram 4500 and 5500 commercial trucks. Chrysler brags that the very capable powertrain is the only big diesel in the US without a selective catalytic reduction system that requires the owner to add diesel exhaust fluid. The Cummins 6.7 has been able to pass 2010 EPA emissions standards since its 2007 introduction.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-dodge-ram-hd\/low\/\">First Drive: 2010 Dodge Ram HD<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-dodge-ram-hd\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/10\/2010dodgeramhdfd17_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-dodge-ram-hd\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/10\/2010dodgeramhdfd18_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-dodge-ram-hd\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/10\/2010dodgeramhdfd19_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-dodge-ram-hd\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/10\/2010dodgeramhdfd20_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-dodge-ram-hd\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/10\/2010dodgeramhdfd21_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<em><strong><small>Photos by Chris Shunk \/ Copyright <\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small> (C)2009 <\/small><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><small>Weblogs, Inc.<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chryslergroupllc.com\/blog.do;jsessionid=A0D12A1D3629FB1D3FAAA4A7B3A91CB0?id=916&amp;p=entry\">Chrysler Blog<\/a>]<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"> <\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/04\/dodge-and-cummins-reach-multi-year-contract-extension\/\">Dodge and Cummins reach multi-year contract extension<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:29:00 EST.
