Any year model that has the 5.9L Cummins I-6 Turbo Diesel. That would include the very first Dodge diesel, up until 07 1/2. The 6.7L Cummins I-6 is junk.
I concur with the previous statement, the 5.9 is the way to go. I prefer the 12 valve with a manual transmission (89-98) because of the great reliability and the simple systems. The 24 valve (98.5 -02) has an electric injection pump that seems to give everyone problems about every 150,000 miles. However the four doors on the 03-07 are very tempting some days and the common rail injection pump is more reliable than the previous 24 valves. The automatic trany and the 4x4 front end will give you problems on a regular basis no matter what year you get. my favorite years are the 96-98 and the 04.5-06
1989 was the first year of the Cummins.
1989
Dodge started using the 5.9L Cummins engine in the 1989 model year.
Not the F250, F350, etc. Dodge and Cummins just signed a multi year contract to keep the Cummins in the Dodge trucks.
its a cummins if youre talking about the new 6.7 its got a lot, rem its a cummins and its a dodge, it only has the best inclass towing whats better
Dodge has never had the Allison trans in its trucks.
Not for the 2013 model year.
Cummins is good. Dodge is not. Cummins has always been a good engine. Dodge is lucky to have the contract with Cummins. I have 2 Dodge Cummins (an 1992 and 2006). Both have electrical problems and the transmission in my 2006 isn't great and that's with stock power and only 93,000 miles. The 12-valve Cummins is all mechanical- easy and cheap to get power out of it. The 24-valve Cummins is computerized- have to buy a programmer. The best combination would be a Cummins in a Chevy.
Cummins owns the engine. Dodge just offers the computer instead of cummins. Cummins is a private company it is not owned by Ford or Dodge.
Mopar filters from the Dodge dealer.
Here are my most valuable resources, they covers about anyting for a 89-Current model Cummins
No, Dodge just has a contract to use the Cummins engine.
