No such part on a 1997 Cummins.
On the firewall pass side.
No such part on a 1997 Ram.
there actually is no ballast resistor on an 89 d-100. Ma Mopar left it out of fuel injected trucks, and 89's are all fuel injected.

The Dodge pickup trucks with Cummins engines are diesel turbocharger engines. They are built by the Cummins company and have been used in Dodge Ram trucks since 1989.

Considering that a diesel pickup truck can't use gas I would say that there aren't any diesel trucks that get good gas mileage. If you were wondering which diesel truck gets the highest miles per gallon then I would say you should look at the Dodge Cummins diesel.
The engine computer is mounted on the driver side of the engine block.
Because Dodge wanted to sell a Diesel version if the truck. Diesels are long lived, more rugged and higher torqued than gas engines. Chrysler doesn't make one of their own. Why invent one when Cummins makes an excellent pickup sized diesel?
Here's a few million mile pickup truck diesel engines - - - 7.3L IDI International (Ford), 6.9L IDI International (Ford), 7.3L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel (Ford), and the 5.9L Cummins I-6 engine (Dodge.) Of the newest diesel engines offered in the Big 3 trucks, I'd say #1 is the 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel, #2 6.6L Duramax, #3 6.7L Cummins.
