dodge/ram has used two v8 engines in its trucks since 2004, the 4.7 and the 5.7 hemi... before '04 it was the 5.9v8 (360 cubic inch)... the diesel engines in dodge trucks are built by Cummins, and are all inline six (I6), none of the diesel dodges have v8 inches. therefore there was never a 'magnum v8 cummins' since there was never a v8 cummins, hope that helps!
Chrysler V8, yes. Cummins diesel, yes.
If you mean the Cummins Diesel Engine in Dodge trucks, the first 5.9L Cummins that was produced up until 2007.5 was a 6-cylinder diesel. The new 6.7L Cummins (2007.5 to current) is a 6-cylinder diesel also and is proven to be VERY reliable. An in line 6 has less compact parts which means they are stronger, second in line engines produce their torque very low in the RPM range unlike V8's their for it is easier to tow. I6 are also cheaper to build than the V8. And in case your wondering why the I6 is better at torque its because they have a longer stroke. The Cummins is a well built engine and is FAR superior to any other diesel out their.
The following Chevrolet trucks have diesel engines: Chevrolet Series D V8, Chevrolet "small block" V8, Chevrolet W V8, Chevrolet Generation 3, Chevrolet Stovebolt.
A 1995 2500 could have a 5.9L V8, a 8.0L V10, or the 5.9L Cummins diesel.

It seems cummins makes v8 diesels, however they seem to be of a large size (I believe i saw one in the ball park of 14 liters) but I have heard rumors of a NEW V-8 Diesel that may be used in the 2010 ram 1500. I wish they made more civilian v-8 diesels.
It was available with the 5.9L v8 gas, the 8.0L V10 gas, and the 5.9L inline 6 Cummins diesel.
If the engine has spark plugs, use gasoline. If it has a diesel injection pump, use diesel.
Dodge V8 uses 10W30. Cummins diesel uses 15W40.
