Daimler could have had the 5.0 Cummins in the 1500 ram if they wanted it. They wanted to source their own motor, which as far as I know is a pretty good one. Having Cummins on the valve covers is the only thing that would have made that truck sell though.

The 2.8 cummins is what should be in these trucks. The 5.0 is too big and powerful and will have disappointing fuel economy and will stuff the engine bay to the point that maintenance is impossible. Too much focus on power IMO.
