You need the Cummins Insite software in order to do this.
In 1996, the Cummins diesel was rated at up to 215 bhp at 2600 rpm and 440 lb-ft @ 1600 rpm, ... ft. of torque at 1400 rpm and 305 horsepower at 2900 rpm
235 - 325 HP @ 2,900 rpm 460 - 610 lb-ft @ 1,600 rpm
Diesels are not gasoline engines. On a gas engine you are looking for horsepower because they don't have much torque. Horsepower comes from high RPM. Diesel operators look for torque, which on a diesel comes at low RPM. I run a Cummins ISX. Its maximum RPM seems to be somewhere around 1700-1800; the truck runs best around 1200-1300.
depends on gas or diesel i think i would want the 3.73 in the diesel for more rpm vs speed out of the low rpm cummins plus has plenty of power. 4.10 with the gas for heavy loads.
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.
You will find the information on the Cummins website for the 5.9l B engine
1400 - 1450 RPMs.
6000 rpm
That model has a max continuous RPM of 11,000, and a max RPM of 12,000
Really need to know the displacement in order to answer this. 240 hp, you could be talking about a 2.2 I4 gas engine, a V8, even something like an 8.3 Cummins diesel.
3000 rpm is red line. Red line is about 3000 rpm,
Max RPM - 1986 VG was released on: USA: April 1986
