i am 16, cant drive for 2 years and all i want for christmas is my dad to take me to sit in the passenger seat of the 2005 harleydavidson edition ford f 250 and the dodge power wagon.. this article from cummins.com is pretty impressive check it out...
Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel
Award Winning. Torque Champion.
For 2004, Cummins and Dodge raise the bar with the re-engineered Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel, available in the Dodge Ram Heavy Duty Pickups. The Cummins 600 Turbo diesel delivers a class-leading 600 ft.-lbs of torque, starting at only 1600 rpm, along with an unbeatable 325 horsepower. And now it's available in all 50 states, making Cummins the choice of over 70% of Dodge Ram Heavy Duty buyers.
Based on this kind of performance and further noise refinement Ward's AutoWorld Magazine named the Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel one of its "Ten Best Engines" for 2004.
For 2004, the Dodge Ram Heavy Duty with the Cummins 600 offers best-in-class:
600 ft.-lbs. torque starting at only 1600 rpm
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Gross Combination Weight Rating
15,000 mile oil change interval (Schedule A), 7,500 mile oil change interval (Schedule B)

Higher Performance
Bulletproof Durability and Commercial Quality
Noise Refinement
Engine Service Improvements
Cleaner Emissions
Higher Performance
With a big rig-inspired inline-six design, the Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel develops peak torque at low engine speeds. This low end torque provides better performance for trailer towing, along with better acceleration, throttle response, and driveability.
How did we increase the power for the Cummins 600?
Enhanced fuel system including larger multiple injections..
Exhaust system increased to four inch diameter from turbo to tailpipe to reduce backpressure
Larger turbocharger compressor wheel and housing for increased air flow.
Higher flow design intercooler and engine-mounted shroud for improved forced air flow and cooling.

Bulletproof Durability and Commercial Quality
The Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel is the latest generation of the legendary Cummins B series engine. Cummins has manufactured over millions of B engines to power trucks, buses, boats, agricultural equipment and industrial equipment around the world.
In these commercial applications, reliability, durability, and efficiency are essential. The Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel has 30% fewer parts than competitive V8 diesel engines. With over 1,000,000 Dodge engines built since 1988, the Cummins Turbo Diesel has earned its reputation for durability and quality. We often hear from customers with over 500,000 and even 1,000,000 miles on their Cummins-powered Dodge Rams.
The 2004 Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel builds upon this durability with:
Average of 350,000 miles to overhaul.
Proven technology: most components are carry-over, including the Bosch high pressure common rail fuel system optimized by Cummins controls.
In-cylinder combustion and diesel oxidation catalyst solution requires no exhaust gas recirculation components.
Gallery cooled high-strength aluminum pistons for durability and long life to overhaul.
Premium high strength inconel exhaust valves and high-cobalt stellite exhaust valve seats for durability and long life to overhaul.
High strength exhaust manifold with multi-layer gasket between head and manifold.
Forged steel fracture-split connecting rods.
Noise Refinement
In 2003, Cummins redesigned the fuel system using the Bosch high pressure common rail system, enabling pilot injection before the main injection. This reduces the spike in combustion pressure for dramatically quieter combustion. For the 2004 Cummins 600 we've added rubber isolators for the valve cover bolts and further reduced the noise at idle by changes to pilot injection.
Reduced Service
The Cummins 600's cleaner combustion results in reduced sooting of lubrication oil, allowing Cummins to double the oil change intervals to 15,000 miles for schedule A and 7,500 for schedule B (towing) for all 50 states to help reduce the cost of ownership.
The Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel has a self priming fuel filter as well: this means you can easily restart the engine after routine fuel filter changes (or if you run out of fuel).
Cleaner Emissions
The Cummins 600 Turbo Diesel is not only more powerful, it's also cleaner. Particulates and nitrogen oxides have been reduced to meet the 2004 emission standards. Now the Cummins 600 meets all US federal and state emission requirements.
To meet the new emission standards, Cummins applied its technology to provide an in-cylinder solution along with a diesel oxidation catalyst. Cummins developed a new piston combustion bowl and a high flow electronically-controlled wastegated turbocharger to better match boost pressure to engine needs to reduce emissions. This solution does not require exhaust gas recirculation, saving over 50 components.
