Next cummins engine...
a straight 727 would do it and love it 
they are the toughest trans dodge ever made its the overdrive and lock up converters that go bad in the trans. but i see what your sayin
and one was a 6.6L and the other a 6.7L not both 6.7's dodge wont let the inline 6 leave the heavy duty trucks. the V8 cummins that was made is built for 1/2 ton trucks.
The engine is built to haul that much weight. Cummins is the most OVER built engine made in the pick-up truck segment. its the suspension that "wont" handle/ haul/ tow that much weight.
oh and the Cummins woulda kept up

cummins motor already blows the crap out of the others no doubt or argument about it....its emissions keepin it on a chain for the most part...and as previously said the rest of the truck just cant preform to the same standard as the engine. As far as this "8 speed auto" we might as well team up with eaton fuller.
Its official!!! The new dodge has 350hp, 800 lb ft tourqe, and is rated at towing 22,700 pounds! Max gcwr of 30,000 pounds! 6 speed auto and still offering the 6 speed stick!!! Gota love it!!!

About a year ago I read an article on cummins website(I think) and it said Cummins was looking into doing a compound turbo set up (like the 6.4 powerstroke) to help clean up emissions so they wouldn't have to use urea. After reading some on these post it doesn't sound like they took too many steps forward on it.

The handshaker means you stay at the 650lb-ft rating... No 800 for those manual trans guys.
Mattressman, Cummins has NEVER used urea (exhaust fluid). And it doesn't need dual turbo's to keep urea out of its exhaust... The variable nozzle turbo on the 6.7L does essentially the same thing as the dual turbo's on the 6.4L, plus gives the added benefit of being able to act as an exhaust brake.
Whoever said they could come out with a Jake brake option, keep dreaming. Those add so much height to cylinder heads you'd have to have one heck of a power bulge in the hood to clear the engine. And that hump would have to extend into the cowl, windshield, and dash as well. hahaha
