6.7 Cummins Turbocharger

The 6.7 Cummins turbo diesel engine is commonly used in Dodge Ram heavy duty pickup trucks and chassis cab trucks because of its power and durability. The Variable Geometry Turbos (VGT) for 6.7 Cummins engines enhance performance by increasing power, torque, and fuel efficiency, but they can also accumulate soot which can lead to performance issues. If you are looking for an aftermarket turbo for a 6.7 Cummins engine, talk to our professionals at HD Turbo about our remanufactured turbo options.

At HD Turbo, we provide remanufactured 6.7 Cummins turbos that can effectively replace the OEM turbochargers in your 6.7 Cummins engine. The remanufactured turbos we offer are carefully assembled, calibrated, and balanced to ensure that they meet or exceed performance expectations when paired with a Cummins 6.7 engine.

What is a 6.7 Cummins Turbo?

A 6.7 Cummins turbo is a performance component paired with the Cummins 6.7L turbo diesel engine that is commonly used in Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks. These turbos increase the power and efficiency of 6.7 Cummins engines by compressing intake air and controlling exhaust gas flow to the turbine for optimal boost levels.

The following are the key features of 6.7 Cummins turbos:

• Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT): The turbos for 6.7 Cummins engines are VGTs that can control the boost pressure by adjusting the nozzle and directing the flow of exhaust gas to the turbine. This ensures efficient operation across engine speeds and for various loads.
• Functionality: By harnessing the energy of exhaust gases, a diesel turbocharger propels a turbine that powers a compressor. This compressor pushes additional air into the engine’s combustion chamber, enabling a more efficient fuel burn and enhancing the engine’s power output.
• High torque: The high torque output allows for efficient towing for heavy loads.
• Improved fuel economy: The VGT system allows for controlled boost pressure and efficient operations which results in better fuel economy.

Symptoms of a Failing 6.7 Cummins Turbo

It’s essential to identify signs of a failing 6.7 Cummins turbocharger early, allowing you to resolve the issue before it leads to further damage to the turbocharger or engine. Here are the most common indicators that your 6.7 Cummins turbo might need a replacement:

• Loss of power: If the turbo isn’t producing enough boost pressure, it can lead to problems such as sluggish acceleration, poor throttle response, and trouble pulling loads or maintaining highway speeds.
• Excessive exhaust smoke: Noticeable excessive exhaust smoke during acceleration could indicate a problem as blue/gray smoke is a sign of burning oil and black smoke may be a sign of poor combustion due to insufficient boost.
• High pitched whining noise: A “siren” noise from the engine bay as turbo spools indicates worn bearings or damaged turbine/compressor wheels.
• Check engine light: Codes like P0299 (Turbo Underboost), P2563 (Turbo Position Sensor), or P003A (Turbocharger Vane Position Not Learned) signal problems with boost pressure or VGT function.
• Poor fuel economy: More fuel is burned to compensate for the lack of boost. This is often noticeable with light driving or unloaded conditions.
• Oil leaks or excessive oil consumption: Oil may accumulate around the turbo housing or intercooler piping due to worn seals or a failing bearing inside the turbo.
• VGT actuator failure: Sticking vanes or a failed electronic actuator can trigger warning lights, cause surging or inconsistent boost, or disable the exhaust brake.
• Overheating or excessive exhaust gas temperatures: Without proper boost, combustion becomes inefficient, leading to higher EGTs which can be dangerous for the engine.
