Since 2007, Cummins-powered Ram Heavy Duty trucks have relied on a grid heater system for cold starts, unlike their competitors, which have long used glow plugs. That changes for 2025, as Ram and Cummins have officially switched to glow plugs in their newest version of theturbodiesel 6.7-liter Cummins I6 engine. While many owners who’ve dealt with catastrophic engine failures due to grid heater bolt failures may see this as a reliability move, Ram insists it was all about improving efficiency and performance.
