Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / March 20062 Cummings questions
How can you tell the difference between Turbo Diesel and HO Turbo Diesel? Would the VIN have different number? Before I have heard 2 distinctive engine sounds coming from Dodge Rams. One type is the regular clanky noise same as you would hear in either Ford or Chevy. The other is like you would hear in a big rig such as Freightliner or similar big rig. Anyone can tell why the same engine would have such different sounds? Thanks GB > How can you tell the difference between Turbo Diesel and HO Turbo Diesel? > Would the VIN have different number?

My bad..kinda like no 'I' in team, but there is an E and a M ",ME" > I think the 8th digit in the VIN is a C in an HO. Looking I see it is the 5th digit.

Knowing the year you're talking about would help... for the 2nd gen Rams ('98-'02), 6=SO, 7=HO, in the 8th position of the VIN. For 3rd gen trucks ('03+), 6=SO, C=HO > Anyone can tell why the same engine would have such different sounds? Exhaust modifications, for one. Secondly, the 12V and 24V engines (used in '89 thru '02 trucks) were much louder than the current common-rail engines, due mainly to the new engine's use of pilot injection. >> How can you tell the difference between Turbo Diesel and HO Turbo Diesel? >> Would the VIN have different number? > > Knowing the year you're talking about would help... for the 2nd gen Rams > ('98-'02), 6=SO, 7=HO, in the 8th position of the VIN.

SO after market? Looks like I will be getting diesel soon. I want mine to sound more like a rig than a clattering noise maker. Any suggestions?

How's this sound? http://home.earthlink.net/~tlawren349/Aeroturbine.mp3 That's an '03 engine with the stock muffler replaced with an aeroturbine. >> SO after market?
