Have him come on line at www.moparchat.com. There is a forum under RAM
tech, that someone has answered with many e-mails giving description on the
Chevy, Ford, and the new Cummins Dodge HO.
However, according to one Ram Cummins HO buyer, you could not tell the
difference when the person is more than twenty feet away from the truck vice
the older models.

Ed,
Yeah, the new ISBe is very quiet. With the hood closed, you can tell it's a
diesel from the sound, but it's no louder than my 3.9. With the hood open,
it's still not nearly as loud as previous diesel Rams, yet maintains that
wonderful Cummins sound. That's the way a diesel should sound, the PSD and
Duramax/other Chevy TD's have never sounded right to me. It's quieter than
a 7.3L PSD, but I haven't seen/heard a new 6.0 yet.
HTH.
