Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi, you should look into the appeals process ... In IRS publication 1660, they say...
You may appeal many IRS collection actions to the IRS Offi ce of Appeals (Appeals). Appeals is separate from and independent of theIRS Collection offi ce that initiated the collection action. Appeals ensures and protects its independence by adhering to a strict policyof prohibiting certain ex parte communications with the IRS Collection offi ce or other IRS offi ces, such as discussions regarding thestrengths or weaknesses of your case.
The two main procedures are Collection Due Process and Collection Appeals Program.
Complete Form 12153, Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing
Here's the form: Form 12153
Doing it this way will "stop the locomotive," so to speak and let you talk with someone besides the front line folks (who are essentially collectors)
They almost always push back, as a knee jerk reaction, going to the appeals division, will allow you to tell the complete story ... another option ...
Call the IRS at(NNN) NNN-NNNN and after explaining (and the predictable push back) ask to speak with that person's manage (be sure to get the employee name and ID number first) they are supposed to do this any time it's requested ... if the manager will not allow for consideration, ten you have a VERY good case for appeals, because you will have "exhausted other available remedies" as they will say ... by doing it this way you pre-empt THAT eventuality
You should see this (from the journal of Accountancy) ... I'll give you the link:
I still don't see you coming into the chat here ... would be glad to discuss further ......
I'm wondering if JustAnswer is having systems problems today ... you're the second person that has just never come into the chat here.
Maybe moving us to the "Question and Answer" mode will help
That hurts my pay and my ratings here....
Is there something else I can do here?
ok Cya
Hello Robin,
I have already written 2 letters requesting relief under "Reasonable Cause" I also mailed copy of stamped envelope that was mailed to the IRS in which we submitted our form 7004. The actual tax return was mailed May 5, 2013 so it was late but not extremely late. Our previous tax returns, 941 & 940 are all current and up to date which I also included in our letter which I hoped that would demonstrate that we showed due diligence. The last letter the IRS sent which was yesterday they are saying that since we do not have a certified mail receipt but mailed several extensions, they can consider this as proof. I also submitted 3 additional extensions which they approve the extensions. Hopefully they will accept this as proof. So I mailed a 3rd letter yesterday giving them name of other corps and EIN.
With regards XXXXX XXXXX question yes we are a small C-Corporation sales of approx. 2 Million
PS. I also asked for first time abate waiver and they said it does not apply to form 5472.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The upcoming movie Son of God could become one of the biggest surprises of 2014 for the 20th Century Fox film division of 21st Century Fox (FOXA) , as the film gets a huge boost from churches around the nation. The parallels to 2004's blockbuster The Passion of the Christ should get investors excited and lead to a possible buying opportunity.
Fox is a dominant media conglomerate that owns assets in television and movies.
Like The Passion of the Christ, Son of God is getting an early box office boost from pastors and churches across the nation. Reports are that at least 10 multiplexes have been bought out for the day before the movie's Feb. 28 opening.
Rick Warren, a popular pastor and author, has bought out eight theaters in Orange County. More importantly, he has challenged other pastors across the nation to do the same.
Son of God is adapted from the mini-series The Bible, which had strong ratings on the History Channel (DIS). Created by Roma Downey (the Touched by an Angel actress) and her husband Mark Burnett (of Survivor, Shark Tank, The Voice and Celebrity Apprentice), the show saw average viewership in the 10 to 15 million range for each episode. The finale, which aired on Easter Sunday 2013, saw 11.7 million live viewers. That placed it ahead of The Walking Dead during the 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. time slot the same night.
Strong viewership for The Bible, along with the success of Vikings and Pawn Stars, helped the History Channel reach the No. 1 share for adults age 25 to 54 and men age 25 to 54 for cable networks during the month of March.
In the spring of 2015, Downey and Burnett's Bible-themed sequel A.D. will head to NBC (CMCSA), which picked up the rights. On broadcast television, the show could do quite well and may reward NBC for luring the show away from the History Channel. Burnett also has strong ties with NBC through his hit shows The Voice and Celebrity Apprentice.
Back in 2004, The Passion of the Christ lit up the big screen with a huge domestic box office of $370.8 million. An additional $241.1 million in international box office gave the movie a total of $661.9 million worldwide. The movie still holds the No. 1 position for the "Christian" and "Controversy" genres, according to BoxOfficeMojo. It is the 25th-highest grossing movie in the domestic market to date.
The more impressive feat is that The Passion of the Christ remains the highest grossing "R"-rated movie of all time. In fact, The Passion of the Christ is well ahead of the next-highest "R"-rated movie, The Matrix Reloaded, which grossed $281.6 million in domestic markets.
The Passion of the Christ is the highest-grossing February open of all-time with $83.8 million. This is likely the reason why Son of God is being released in February as well. The movie should do well in its open and could carry momentum through the Lenten season leading up to Easter Sunday, which falls on April 20 this year. This gives the movie two solid months of potentially strong box office.

COLUMBIA, Mo. - Disaster victims may recoup some of their uninsured losses because uncompensated property losses from natural disasters are tax deductible, said a University of Missouri Extension consumer and family economics specialist.
But the first thing you should do is contact your insurance agent, said Brenda Procter. "A lot of people incorrectly assume certain things aren't covered or are covered. If you don't call your agent and find out what's covered, you might do something to put that coverage at risk."
It can take time for an agent to get to your property following a catastrophe, Procter notes. "It's your responsibility to protect your property from further loss." This may include boarding up windows, covering holes in the roof or moving property out of harm's way. "To the extent possible, do nothing other than this before the agent arrives. They need to see the original damage firsthand."
Personal property that has been damaged extensively should be appraised soon after the disaster. A professional estimate of value will serve as evidence for casualty loss claims. The appraisal fee itself is tax deductible.
When declaring casualty loss on your tax return, you have to subtract from that amount any money you received from insurance or salvage related to the loss. The amount is further reduced by $100 plus 10 percent of your adjusted gross income. The deduction is limited to the cost basis or the fair market value at the time of the disaster, whichever is less, Procter said.
If you live in an area that has been declared a federal disaster area, you may qualify for additional help through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). "It's really important to talk to a FEMA representative as soon as you can to find out what assistance is available," she said.
Proper record keeping is crucial for disaster victims filing insurance claims, declaring losses on their income tax or applying for FEMA assistance. Property owners should do the following to demonstrate loss:
-Note the kind of disaster, when it occurred and that the damage was a direct result of the disaster.
-Show you are the owner of the damaged property.
-Find a record listing the cost of the property and show the cost of any improvements.
-Have appraisals showing fair market value before and after the disaster.
-Show proof of any insurance benefits or other compensation received, including free repairs, restoration and cleanup from any disaster relief agencies.
Records that serve as good supporting evidence for casualty claims include receipts, canceled checks, deeds, purchase contracts and professional appraisals. Of course, it's best to gather these records and store them in a safe place before a disaster strikes, but if you haven't done this you can help document your loss by taking photographs.
"I would take a picture of everything, inside and out," Procter said. "Go over every single inch of your property and take pictures, so if the insurance adjuster tries to argue with you about something, you can pop out a picture."
For more information about tax deductions, Procter directs people to IRS Publication 574, available online at http://www.irs.gov/publications/p547/. While you might not see any tax benefits until next year, finding out what those benefits will be can help your post-disaster planning.
"You have all kinds of financial decisions to make in a totally different context because of the loss," she said. "Getting deductions makes a big difference. It's good to know that ahead of time so you know you have something to work with."
For more information about disaster assistance from FEMA, see http://www.fema.gov/assistance/or call 800-621-3362.

The last South African-made Volkswagen Beetle came off the production line on 18 January 1979 - and went straight into the Volkswagen museum, now the AutoPavilion.
The metallic bronze Beetle was the final example of 288 353 built at Uitenhage plant from August 1951 to January 1979, a production run spanning almost 28 years, 11 of them as the country's top selling car. Many of those cars can still be seen on our roads today.
The commemorative Beetle had only 200km on the clock when a vehicle carrier overturned on the way back from a show in Cape Town in November 2006, destroying nine of the AutoPavilion's most important historic cars, including this one.
But AutoPavilion manager Johan Wagner wasn't prepared to leave it at that. Although the body shell was total write-off, he got hold of another body of the same era in as-new condition and proceeded to re-create the last Beetle.
It can't be called a restoration because it has a different chassis number, but every component that could be salvaged from the commemorative Beetle was carried over to the new body, which had been painstakingly resprayed using the same special metallic bronze paint as the original.
Wagner explained: "All the mechanicals and most of the interior from the original car could still be used. The original car was loaded with luxury features not found on any of the models which preceded it.
"It was built with most of the luxury features of the higher specification and limited edition 1600's such as the Fun Bug, Lux Bug, Jeans Bug and Snug Bug."
Some of its special features include Bilboa cloth upholstery, black fender spats, a special gearlever knob, taper-tip exhaust pipes, a centre tunnel console, a cigarette lighter and Rostyle rims.
It has taken two years of painstaking work, but the commemorative Beetle is back in its place of honour in the AutoPavilion, and who are we to whinge that it isn't the real thing - it's as much a tribute to the dedication of the AutoPavilion staff as it is to the nearly 290 000 Beetles that preceded it.
And anyway, the Beetle story is far from over - the second-generation New Beetle will be introduced in South Africa towards the end of the year.

My first time ordering from Overstock.
I really like the towels I ordered. Good quality! However, I didn't read the "Description" so please read before purchasing. I thought the towels were supposed to be what is depicted in the picture. The bigger bath towel is white in the picture, but what I received is a bigger bath towel that is black. The decorative design on the towels "looks white and black" on the towels, but what I received are towels that are "gray and black". I really was expecting White and Black.Read More

The Venezuelan embassy in Washington was notified of the action on Friday and Livia Acosta Noguera, the consul general, was given until January 10 to leave the country, William Ostick, a State Department spokesman, said on Sunday. "In accordance with Article 23 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, the department declared Ms Livia Acosta Noguera, Venezuelan consul general to Miami, to be persona non grata. As such, she must depart the United States by January 10," he said. "We cannot comment on specific details behind the decision to declare Ms Acosta persona non grata at this time," he said in a statement. The State Department had said last month it was looking into "very disturbing" allegations that Noguera was a participant in an alleged Iranian plot to launch cyber-attacks on sensitive US national security facilities. The allegations were made in a documentary that aired on the Spanish-language television network Univision. The US action comes as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad kicks off a Latin American tour in Caracas.Source: Agencies

Wow! Maybe I'm nuts, but I thought that was, overall, as well as the Rangers played all year.
They had tons of chances against a banged-up Detroit team that still — still, with all the injuries — had far more talent on the ice than did the Rangers.
1) I am not blaming this loss on Lundqvist. But … that was another lousy goal from a lousy angle that cost the Rangers the game. It's bad enough Lundqvist has had trouble with glove-side high. Lately he's also had trouble with shots from awful angles and from behind the goal line. Having one hole is bad enough. That all said, he was pretty sensational most of the night.
2) Did John Tortorella really not have Marian Gaborik on the ice for the first 1:15 of a third-period power play in a 1-1 game? Was that really Drury and Higgins and Callahan out there? Is that possible?
3) Brian Boyle continues to stick up for his teammates, even if he can't fight. And now he has three goals — or as many as Higgins and one more than Drury. OK, he can't fight. I think he will get better.
4) Those two weekend games should have a lot of people stepping back off ledges, right? Two very solid efforts — and effort is the right word — and two turnaround defensive performances after those dreadful post-tryptophan games in Tampa, at Pittsburgh and then the third period at home against the champs. I'll say it again. Skill-wise the Rangers don't match up against a lot of the teams in the NHL, even some of the teams beneath them in the standings. But there are an awful lot of teams not much better overall.
5) Abdelkader. I just wanted to say that, especially since I forgot to type it yesterday.
6) Head up, Anisimov. Head up. Use it or lose it.
Here is the recap from NHL.com, where you can get the official summaries and video highlights, etc.

Replica by Lauren Oliver
Posted by Krystal Larson at 4:41 PM Monday, June 6, 2016
Gemma has been in and out of hospitals since she was born. 'A sickly child', her lonely life to date has revolved around her home, school and one best friend, Alice. But when she discovers her father's connection to the top secret Haven research facility, currently hitting the headlines and under siege by religious fanatics, Gemma decides to leave the sanctuary she's always known to find the institute and determine what is going on there and why her father's name seems inextricably linked to it.
Amidst the frenzy outside the institute's walls, Lyra - or number 24 as she is known as at Haven - and a fellow experimental subject known only as 72, manage to escape. Encountering a world they never knew existed outside the walls of their secluded upbringing , they meet Gemma and, as they try to understand Haven's purpose together, they uncover some earth-shattering secrets that will change the lives of both girls forever...
Goodreads Summary
Lyra and Gemma both live difficult lives, but for different reasons. Gemma is sickly and often alone while Lyra is surrounded by girls, but lonely as well. The novel reads from both of their perspectives (the reader can choose which perspective to read first or switch between them-chapter to chapter). I preferred Lyra's character. She was born and raised at the Haven, a place filled with doctors, scientists, and nurses. The Haven is a mysterious place; the reader will slowly discover the true purpose of the sinister home through Gemma and Lyra.
I began reading through Lyra's perspective first and the book began with a bang, an escapee, and later on...a fire. Lyra had to be taught to read by a sneaky doctor (usually the replicas aren't allowed formal training like reading) and she's used to getting poked and prodded. I really liked that she made up appropriate names for nurses and doctors. She was intelligent, inquisitive, and naive. I had a harder time connecting to Gemma. Lyra seemed larger than life while Gemma fell a little flat for me. I liked how the author wrote the conversations (identical) that the two characters experienced similarly, but not exactly the same. Each girl would have thought through and perceived the conversations a little differently and Lauren Oliver did a wonderful job reflecting that. This book would be well-loved by teen/young adult readers who enjoy action, suspense, and mystery.

The New York Yankees starting rotation is currently stacked heavily with right-handed pitching due to CC Sabathia out for the season and Vidal Nuno being traded this past month.
The team changed that on Thursday night just after their 4-2 win over the Texas Rangers, as the Yankees acquired lefty Chris Capuano from the Colorado Rockies for cash considerations, as Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York reported.
Yanks announce they acquired Chris Capuano for cash— Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) July 24, 2014
The 35-year-old Capuano has spent most of his 2014 season in the minor leagues with the Boston Red Sox and most recently, the Rockies. In his limited time with Boston, Capuano went 1-1 with a 4.55 ERA in 28 appearances, all in relief.
It would be the second go-around for Capuano in New York as he previously pitched for the New York Mets in the 2011 season; he pitched to an 11-12 record and a 4.55 ERA in 33 appearances, 31 of which were starts with 168 strikeouts in186 innings.
With the Yankees, Capuano can be asked to start and relieve, giving Joe Girardi some flexibility on what he can do with the rotation and the bullpen and giving the team another veteran and somewhat reliable arm that can get outs and chew up innings if needed.

Please join us the evening of Wednesday, March 22, 2017 for the 13th annual Archie League Medal of Safety Awards
NATCA is proud to announce its 2017 Archie League Medal of Safety Award recipients. Named for the first air traffic controller, the Archie League Medal of Safety Award honors air traffic controllers who have performed life-saving work in the previous calendar year.
Air traffic controllers juggle a variety of variables and complex scenarios. Their ability to adapt to ever-changing situations while keeping their composure is a skill they have mastered. As a result of their commitment to perfection, the National Airspace System is the safest in the world.
Each honoree faced a unique situation in which their ability to think quickly and remain calm under pressure was tested. Although each of these remarkable individuals will say they were "just doing their job," their work is extraordinary and NATCA honors it with this prestigious award.
NATCA will honor the recipients on March 22, during the Archie League Medal of Safety Award banquet that closes NATCA's annual Communicating For Safety conference.
A judges panel consisting of aviation and air traffic control experts, this year featuring NATCA Director of Safety and Technology Jim Ullmann, Experimental Aircraft Association CEO & Chairman of the Board Captain Jack Pelton and Air Line Pilots Association, International, Aviation Safety Chairman Captain Steve Jangelis, selected one event from each of NATCA's nine geographical regions based on peer nominations.
The 2017 honorees:
Alaskan Region: Jessica Earp, Anchorage Center
Central Region: Andrew Cullen and Jeffrey R. Volski, Kansas City Center
Eastern Region: Jaymi Steinberg and Richard Wallace, Washington Center
Great Lakes Region: David Stempien, Cleveland Center
Great Lakes Region: Eric Vanstrom, Fort Wayne ATCT
New England Region: Eric J. Knight and Ross Leshinsky, Boston ATCT
Northwest Mountain Region: Aaron Grijalva, Denver TRACON
Southern Region: Mason Braddock, Patrick Burrows, Nichole Surunis, Clay Sutton, and Keith Tyus, Atlanta TRACON
Southwest Region: Patrick Armstrong, Dallas/Fort Worth TRACON
Western Pacific Region: Brian Bond, Aaron Fones and Carlton Wickstrom, Phoenix TRACON
Read more about the Archie League Awards and its history.
In the mid 1920's, the increase of air traffic caused delays as well as safety concerns within the aviation industry.As a means to stave off air mishaps, in 1929, the St. Louis, Missouri airfield hired its first U.S. air traffic controller, Archie League. Having been a licensed pilot, as well as a licensed engine and aircraft mechanic, League was a perfect fit to perform the duties of controlling planes from the ground. Everyday, League would drag his "control tower" out onto the St. Louis airfield. This control tower consisted of a wheelbarrow on which he mounted an umbrella for shade, his lunch, a note pad and a pair of signal flags he used to direct the air traffic. League went on to earn a degree in aeronautical engineering; and with his 36 years of directing air traffic, helped develop the federal air traffic control system.
Watch the ceremony highlights and read about the winners, this year's and past, and their remarkable work on natca.org.

Stem Cell Center
Stem Cell Research Holds Promise for Medical Breakthroughs
Research shows that stem cells have the potential to radically change the way medicine views and treats disease. These cells are invaluable to the medical community because they are able to develop into many other, more specific types of cells throughout the body. UCR's Stem Cell Center seeks to understand the processes underlying this self-renewal process.
A stem cell can become a muscle cell. Or a blood cell. Or a skin cell. Or it can become another stem cell.
This ability makes a stem cell a sort of "utility player" for other cells and organs in the body, as it can divide and replenish other cells within a body as long as the body is living. In that regard, stem cells can work to repair other cells that may be damaged by disease or injury.
UCR's Stem Cell Center Effort Gets Major Boost
As part of an effort by the state to finance construction of research laboratories at 17 academic and non-profit institutions, the grant is expected to provide the center with three years' worth of operating expenses.
UCR will be able to build dedicated laboratory space adjacent to Noel T. Keen Hall for the culture of human embryonic stem cells. It also will help develop a core laboratory for use by multiple researchers and give UCR the ability to renovate lab space and buy equipment for new research facilities.
Two researchers at the UCR facility had previously received more than $1.1 million in research grants from the Institute, which was established in 2004 with the passage of Proposition 71. That statewide ballot measure, which provided $3 billion in funding for stem cell research at universities and research institutions around the state, made CIRM the largest source of funding for human embryonic stem cell research in the world.

Section on 1989 adoption of Cummins engines in Dodge Rams © 2008 Curtis Redgap
Thanks to Harvey Barlow for updates/corrections. Updated 6/22/2015.
The long, happy partnership between Cummins and Dodge actually began long before the 1989 Dodge Ram pickup (Chrysler's first pickup with a Cummins diesel engine.) Indeed, it's possible the two companies would never have hooked up if not for Chrysler Europe — in particular, the former Commer/Karrier company, now owned by Chrysler and renamed to Dodge.
In 1959, Dodge started working on a new commercial truck; the company felt it had to use its own diesel to sell it, and it turned out that only Cummins would license their design for sale under the Chrysler name (full story).
Back in the USA, Dodge tried using Mitsubishi diesels in light-duty pickups during the 1970s, but they never caught on. Trying again with the big Cummins diesel was a risk, but it definitely paid off.
Part of the reason was that the huge diesel was completely different in character from the little Mitsubishi; designed for tractors, road graders, and such, the turbocharged Cummins "B" engine had entered production in late 1984. It was a relatively simple in-line design, with two valves per cylinder. Not long after production started (in 1985), engineers began adapting the 359 cid, or 5.9 liter, diesel for Dodge pickup trucks. It finally launched in Dodge Rams in 1989, rated at 160 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of peak torque.
The Cummins "B" engine had a 4.02 inch bore and a long 4.72 inch stroke to increase low-end torque. It had 17:1 compression, using an iron block with a steel crankshaft, assembled camshaft, forged I-beam connecting rods, and an aluminum intake manifold. The average first-overhaul time was nearly 300,000 miles, better than the Chevy and Ford V8 diesels by a good margin.
Engines for Dodge were built at the Consolidated Diesel Company in North Carolina; it was originally a joint venture of Cummins and J.I. Case, but Cummins later bought Case's share, so Consolidated Diesel is now the Cummins Rocky Mount Engine Plant. It has 1,900 employees, and exports engines to China (thanks, Walt Mercer). The plant was spotlighted by Fast Company some years ago.
The B was built with 18 wheelers in mind. Dodge had to make the truck work around the engine.
Dodge made an outstanding decision in choosing Cummins. Using an inline six, not a V-8, cut maintenance costs; it had about 40% fewer working parts than competitive engines. By the time Dodge put a pickup around it, its record was outstanding.
The long stroke of the 6 made serious torque, far more than the V-8s from GM (246 lb-ft) or Ford (345) at 400 lb-ft. It generated 160 hp at 2,500 rpm.
The engine was direct injected (fuel is squirted into the combustion chamber), unlike the two rival engines, so it threw off less heat, allowing a smaller radiator and less coolant.
Dodge engineered the truck to handle the expected longevity and power of the Cummins. Load carrying was 4,000 pounds above that of its rivals, right out of the box. A Dodge would cost about an extra of $2,043 to be equipped with the Cummins diesel. A good deal, and not overly done, but done just right. Dodge quickly saw sales jump for Cummins-equipped trucks.
In 1991, just two years after launch, several changes were made to Dodge Ram pickups with the Cummins diesel:
The redline was 3,000 rpm from 1994 through to 1998; the midyear-1998 24-valve engine raised the redline to 3,200 rpm, though by 2000 it was back to 3,000 again.
* Automatic and five-speed manual, in 1998; automatic in 2000. ** High pressure common rail *** 305 in chassis cabs
The end result, in 1991, was a truck with 16,000 pounds of gross cargo capacity. That number would rise as time went on; and Dodge would continue to have the most powerful diesel engines in the industry for decades, thanks to Cummins.
These massive engines helped Dodge by creating a niche market for its pickups, by then over two decades old and not especially popular - Chrysler had a seven percent market share, and half of those were diesels! Within two years, the 100,000th Ram Cummins diesel truck rumbled off the line at Dodge City.
Changes in emissions rules, requiring 60% fewer particulates per brake horsepower-hour (due to the discovery that the particulates raised the odds of getting cancer), the Cummins turbodiesel needed numerous changes for 1994. This included a new fuel injection system and its first catalytic converter. The latter removed about 30% of smoke particulates.
An in-line high pressure fuel injection pump replaced the rotary pump; the higher pressure atomized the fuel into finer droplets, which burned more completely and also reduced particulate emissions. Individual plungers for each injector were operated by a camshaft through roller followers, with both cam and followers being oil-lubricated.
Injection timing and amount were controlled by the throttle position, which was modified by a centrifugal governor moving a gear rack in the high pressure pump. The rack rotated sleeves with variable width slots that were concentric with the pump plungers. When the engine was shut off, the slot closed completely by an electric solenoid on the outside of the pump.
The fuel pump limit on wide-open throttle idle speed was raised from 2875 to 3000 rpm for driveability, and the high speed fuel cut-off was made more gradual as well. Dodge claimed the new pump was also more reliable.
A second, piston-operated lift pump assisted and helped to cool the high pressure pump, providing fuel to the high pressure pump at 211 bs/in2 and making sure that the high speed pump was always full (the engine already had dual pumps, but the new pump was higher capacity). An external priming plunger aided in restarting after running out of fuel.
An improved fuel filter between the two pumps and a larger water separator was needed for the higher fuel flow rate; a new 100-micron strainer between the gas tank and fuel lift pump removed more particules. A fuel heater prevented waxing in cold weather. A water drain and electronic water sensor were carried over from prior models. The fuel filter was replaced every 12,000 miles; oil, every 6,000 miles.
Throttle response and low speed torque were increased by adding a waste gate to the turbocharger, and by using a smaller turbine wheel and nozzle which reached peak boost more quickly. The waste gate opened at high engine speeds to protect the turbocharger. High altitude performance was unaffected by the waste gate.
The compressor had "Map Width Enhancement," which recirculated a small amount of air back into the compressor at the mid point of the blades, thinning the boundary layer of air on their surface; this increased flow and pressure at high speed.
The Cummins turbodiesel kept its eminence among diesel pickup truck engines in fuel economy, beating the 1993 Dodge Ram diesel pickups; though it was aided by a lockup torque converter (on automatics), better aerodynamics, and lower rolling-resistance tires. The engine was now too powerful for the automatic transmission, so Dodge artificially restricted power on trucks with automatics.
Larger diameter, straighter ducting from the turbocharger to the charge air cooler and from the charge air cooler to the intake manifold reduced air flow restrictions. The intake manifold elbow was cast aluminum and the ducts were rolled aluminized steel.
A larger charge air cooler (often called an intercooler), which spanned the width of the radiator, reduced airflow restriction for greater power and lowered charge air temperature to reduce NOx emissions.
The intake manifold air heater, which aided low temperature starting and reduced white exhaust smoke, had a more efficient heating element. A new control schedule shut off heat when vehicle speed exceeded 10 mph.
A narrowed piston-ring land above the top ring, and a revised combustion chamber "bowl" in the piston crown, lowered emissions. A new combination of ring materials and construction cut oil use.
A larger diameter crankshaft vibration damper was used on engines with manual transmission to compensate for increased torsional vibration from higher power.
Engine warm-up was speeded by separating the thermostat and "jiggle pin," sealing the thermostat at low temperature and putting a separate jiggle pin unit into the cylinder head. The jiggle pin lets air trapped in the coolant escape from the block and head when the engine is cool, but seals when the engine is running for faster warm-up.
The automatic transmission adapter was lengthened so a torque converter clutch could be added.
The air cleaner included an air flow restriction gauge called the Filter Minder™ to clarify replacement times, since air filters on diesel engines cut performance and economy more quickly than on gasoline engines, but elements which look dirty but are not plugged protect the engine better than new ones.
The Filter Minder worked by measuring air pressure drop on the "clean" side of the filter, with a check valve holdng them at the highest restriction that the filter had experienced. When the ring reached a red zone on the scale, the filter needed to be changed. Pressing a button on the top of the housing reset the Filter Minder to zero.
A silver cast-aluminum appearance cover with red Cummins Turbo-Diesel logo concealed the six individual steel valve covers for improved appearance.
In 1996, the Cummins diesel was rated at up to 215 bhp at 2,600 rpm and 440 lb-ft @ 1,600 rpm, with a 3,000 rpm redline. In 1997, the throttle control system was refined and hydraulic power brake booster was added.
In midyear 1998, a 24-valve head replaced the old 12-valve unit, and a new electronically controlled fuel injection system replaced the mechanical system. For Rams with the manual transmissions, 20 hp and 20 lb-ft of torque was added; with automatic transmissions, horsepower increased by 35 hp. Fuel economy increased nearly 5%, while maintenance intervals were extended to 15,000 miles for fuel filter changes, and to 7,500 miles for oil filter changes.
The 24-valve heads increased airflow and allowed vertical injector mounting over the center of the piston bowl for improved combustion, low-end torque, and responsiveness. A Bosch VP44 electronic fuel pump with higher injection pressures and electronic controlled timing helped responsiveness over the entire power range.
Other upgrades included an overhead valve rocker system (150,000 miles without adjustment), a redesigned piston for increased power and efficiency, reduced noise, and cleaner operation. The engine met every 1998 California Air Resource Board (CARB) emissions standard without a catalyst or Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR).
There were two versions of the Cummins "B" turbodiesels used in Dodge trucks between 1998½ and 2000 – a 215-horsepower engine that was paired with the 47RE automatic transmission (ending production in December 1999), and a 235-horsepower version that was paired with either the NV4500 five speed or NV5600 six-speed manual.
For the 2001 model year, buyers could get either a 235 hp engine or a high output 245 hp version, differing mainly in the computer calibration (there were 18 calibrations in all, depending on model year, pollution zone, and truck type).
The 245 hp version was only mated to the NV5600 six-speed manual transmission only, and had a 17:1 compression ratio. Instead of using a crankshaft position sensor, the tone wheel on the crankshaft was moved to the camshaft gear on the front of the cam, and the camshaft position sensor filled both functions. Forged aluminum pistons had a different bowl shape for higher compression, and the powdered-metal valve seats were now inserts. A larger flywheel was used to accommodate the larger splines on the NV5600, and the six speed used a 330-mm clutch rather than the former 310-mm one.
The 24-valve high output's fuel system was also different, though the name was unchanged. The fuel-injection pump had higher pressure and for higher-flow fuel injectors. High output engines had the old turbos, the other engines had a new turbo with fewer parts.
The engine data plate, on the left side of the gear housing, lists the horsepower, serial number, and other information. In the eighth position of the VIN, the 215 and 235 hp versions of the standard engine are coded as 6, and the 245 horsepower version is coded as 7.
In model-year 2002 (calendar year 2001), the engine was avagin revised. The truck now had a a class-leading trailer towing rating of 23,000 lbs (GCVWR). The new engine delivered 555 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,400 rpm and 305 horsepower at 2,900 rpm.
Nearly 75% of Ram 2500/3500s were sold with the Cummins Turbo Diesel engine option. Now, Cummins had a new block and high-pressure, common rail fuel-injection; the average major overhaul interval was raised to 350,000 miles. Oil drain/filter service intervals were doubled to 15,000 miles for schedule A service and to 7,500 miles for schedule B service.
The common rail fuel systems for the 2003 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty used pilot injection, putting in a small amount of fuel to start combustion before the main fuel charge was injected, to cut noise and improve cold starting (verified as far down as –40° Farenheit).
An electronically controlled, gear-driven fuel pump provided up to 23,200 psi (1600 Bar) of fuel pressure, and was less dependent on engine speed than traditional systems.
For model year 2003 (introduced in 2002), a higher fuel pressure version was brought out, rated at 300 hp in the high-output/manual transmission model.
Starting in 2004, there were again standard and high output forms - 250 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque in the standard output version, and, starting in 2005, 610 lb-ft of torque in the high output version (the Cummins 610). The diesel Ram could tow 23,000 pounds (gross combined weight). The Cummins was the most powerful diesel engine available in its class.
The high-output Cummins 610 used a revised piston combustion bowl; the electronically controlled turbocharger (still using a wastegate) matched boost pressure with engine needs to avoid exhaust gas recirculation, dropping over 50 components. The 610 was presumably named after its torque rating, 610 lb.-ft. (827 N•m) starting at 1,600 rpm.
Durability was helped by gallery cooled aluminum pistons, Inconel® exhaust valves, high-cobalt Stellite® exhaust valve seats, a high-strength exhaust manifold with multi-layer gasket between head and manifold, and forged steel, fracture-split connecting rods.
The horsepower rating went up to an impressive 250 horsepower at 2,900 rpm (from 235 horsepower at 2,700 rpm) and produced an equally impressive 460 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,400 rpm.
In midyear 2005, the 325 hp / 610 lb-ft version of the engine was brought out; it would last through to the end of model year 2006.
Cummins acquired full ownership of Tata Holset Ltd., a joint venture with Tata Group created in 1994. The company was renamed Cummins Turbo Technologies, the group it worked under. Holset branded turbochargers and other products, though, would still be sold to Tata and others (including Cummins India, Eicher Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, and joint venture Tata Cummins). Cummins had strong growth in India, expanding its facility in Dewas in 2005. Tata Holset had made turbochargers for medium and heavy duty diesel engines used in power generation and vehicles. Over 200 people worked at the plant.
In January 2007, Dodge announced Rams with a new 6.7 liter Cummins turbodiesel that met the EPA's standards for 2010 three years early. Sold with the 68RFE six-speed automatic, the 50-state-clean diesel included an emissions-reduction system originally developed by KonTec, with Cummins' own filters and systems. Dodge claimed a 20%-40% cut in fuel use, and up to 90% cut of oxides of nitrogen, largely due to an adsorber catalyst. Tom LaSorda claimed that the Ram - Cummins "is the cleanest diesel truck available on the market."
Cummins produced the 1.5-millionth diesel engine for the Dodge Ram in 2006. 80% of Dodge heavy duty truck buyers bought the diesel in that year.
A cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system was re-introduced. The piston combustion bowl was redesigned again. A new turbocharger had variable geometry. Within the exhaust system, a self-cleaning DPF and an oxidation catalyst reduced particulate matter by a factor of 10 and was certified for 120,000 miles.
A new closed crankcase ventilation system ended crankcase fumes and oil carry-over.
Nearly 40% of the new engine's parts were carryovers.
The Cummins diesel used in heavy duty Dodge pickups and in Dodge chassis cab trucks did use diesel emissions fluid in 2010, and the pickup diesels were given an exemption through 2013 (the chassis cabs required DEF as of 2011).
oh20 had written: "Dodge coupled the new 6.7L diesel engine with a new 68RFE 6-speed auto transmission. The 6.7L Diesel engine option carred a list price of $6,100 ($495 higher than the 5.9L diesel, but exhaust brake included at no charge; models with a standard 6.7 had price hikes of $495.) Dodge also added an "Ultra-Clean Diesel System" charge of $995 for all Rams equipped with the 6.7 diesel engine as a separate line item on the factory sticker [to show where the extra cost came from]."
When launched in 2009, maximum torque came 400 rpm lower than the GM Duramax, and 100 rpm lower than the Ford Power Stroke (in 2011, all had peak torque at the same 1,600 rpm). The Cummins Turbo Diesel engine also produced 20% more torque at 1000 rpm, and 10% higher clutch engagement torque than its predecessor for better launches and drivability, and fewer shifts.
Starting in 2007, a single 6.7 liter Cummins diesel was available, producing 350 hp. For more details on the trucks using these engines, including market share and such, see our Dodge Ram 2500/3500 and Dodge Ram 3500 Chassis Cab pages.
The 6.7 continued to use solid tappets (non-roller) to this day, with an adjustment interval of 150,000 miles.
A power boost on diesels for pickups with automatic transmissions raised torque to 800 lb-ft (from 650) and increased horsepower in the normal cruising range by 40 hp. A new torque converter and changes to the shift algorithms help the transmission to handle the load.
An independent 2011 dynanometer test showed the Ford diesel putting out 735 lb-ft, the GM-Isuzu at 765 lb-ft, and the Cummins at the rated 800 lb-ft, all at 1,600 rpm. Horsepower was higher on the Ford and GM-Isuzu.
There were several calibrations for the diesels, as their unrestricted power seemed to be too much for certain vehicles. The top rating, 385 hp (at 2800 rpm) and 865 lb-ft of torque (at 1700 rpm) was reserved for pickups with the Aisin six-speed automatic. Next came pickups with the 68RFE automatic, at 370 and 800 rpm. Finally, pickups with the manual reached 350 hp and 660 lb-ft. The higher torque of the 865 lb-ft engine came from "more aggressive fuel delivery and turbo boost calibration."
All 2013
Ram Heavy Duty diesels had a new cooling system, with dual radiators, dual transmission coolers, and a
low-slung charge air cooler to raise heat-rejection capacity by 25%. The Ram Active Air
intake system, triggered by the computer, drew cooler air from the front
of the vehicle when it sensed extreme heat or high altitudes. When conditions were wet, the
system used an under-hood inlet, dry and clear of snow
packing. They also started using urea for a (roughly) 5% increase in gas mileage, according to Cummins.
The new selective catalytic reduction (SCR) was more efficient than the old
Lean NOx Trap (LNT) technology, and while it required diesel exhaust fluid
(DEF), the Ram had full power when fluid levels were low. DEF is
relatively inexpensive, compared with the fuel savings; easily available;
and does not need to be refilled often. The larger exhaust-gas
recirculation (EGR) cooler slashed soot production and fuel
dilution, allowing best-in-class oil change intervals of up
to 15,000 miles.

For 2016 Ram pickups, Cummins provided 900 pound-feet of torque on the Cummins diesel engine for the 2016 2500/3500, setting a record for torque in mass-produced vehicels. The extra torque came from new fuel delivery and turbo boost calibration, and allowed the 2016 Ram 3500 breaks the record, previously held by the old Ram 3500 (at 30,000 pounds) by moving up to 31,210 pounds, more than two tons beyond its closest rival. The 2016 trucks have relatively minor changes to the drivetrain to handle the additional capacity.
Cummins has continued to improve on the original design of the B-engines, keeping them up-to-date workhorses.

Leeds United sacked manager Brian McDermott on Friday, according to several reports in the British media.
McDermott's departure is believed to be linked to Italian Massimo Cellino's ongoing attempt to buy the Championship club.
Cellino, the owner of Serie A side Cagliari, has had a delegation in Leeds for the last week as he prepares to sign off a 75 per cent purchase of Leeds from current owners Gulf Finance House.
One of his takeover group is reported to be the former Middlesbrough defender Gianluca Festa and it is understood that on Tuesday it was asked if Festa could sit in the dugout with McDermott during Leeds' 1-1 draw with Ipswich.
It is thought Cagliari-born Festa, 44, is Cellino's first choice to replace McDermott.
Leeds won 15 of their 36 matches under McDermott, but failed to win any of their last eight games and lie 12th in the table -- eight points from a play-off spot.
That dismal run included a 6-0 defeat at local rivals Sheffield Wednesday, as well as an FA Cup exit against League Two minnows Rochdale.
McDermott, who joined Leeds in April last year, gave a news conference on Friday during which he admitted that Saturday's game against Huddersfield could be his last before saying he intended to "enjoy" the occasion.
Leeds captain Ross McCormack confirmed McDermott's departure and admitted he was shocked by the decision.
"The club have decided to sack him unfortunately. He's gone, he called me up earlier and he told me he'd gone," McCormack told Sky Sports News.
"It's hard times at the club. I'm absolutely gutted because I had a really close relationship with the manager.
"I was looking forward to continuing to work with Leeds United under Brian McDermott but things have changed. I think a big part of that was Brian McDermott and at the moment it's still very raw."

iZettle goes festival!
31 juli 2013
It's no secret that UK has been lucky enough this year to have one of it's longest heat waves for as long as many of us can remember! We felt we had to make the most of the beautiful weather and get ourselves down to a outdoor party - so that's exactly what we did.
Last Friday, we ventured into the Secret Garden Party, an annual independent arts and music festival launched as an alternative to the established mainstream music festivals, where we searched for the River and Temple Bar to find iZettle in action. iZettle have partnered with Peppermint Events, industry specialists operating festival bars and events, combining experience with fresh event concepts, brands, music and a professional service. This was the perfect timing to go out in the field and see the bars accepting card payments!
Making the lives of the happy festival go-ers easier, iZettle enabled Peppermint to accept card payments, instead of relying on their customers to carry cash. Accepting card at festivals is quite revolutionary as you're normally restricted to cash, so we were more than excited to see our service breaking the mould!

Vacation (10) : Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour, O2 Arena, London, Feb 2015, Part 2
After the first part of the show, followed by refreshments, we were back for the second half and it would be in this half of the show that drama, which even Shakespeare could not have scripted, would begin to unfold.
It would be in this half of the show that we would witness a dance that Scott would hope would be his enlightenment on the road to Damascus. Instead, he would completely lose his way and end up with a dance that would not be fit to be performed on the deserted, desolated, rubble-strewn and war torn streets of downtown Aleppo.
It would be in this half of the show that we would receive the results from a voting system that would have left even the most self-respecting, pot-bellied, oversize sunglasses wearing, third world dictator loosening his collar, while looking nervously over his shoulder. This was SCD, this was show business and it would turn out to be show business at its best.
