Check the oil filter for a clog. The oil pump screen could be clogged or the pump could be starting to fail.

Did ford have cummins before dodge?

Not entirely certain of what you mean exactly, so let me try to cover all the bases.Neither company has ever owned Cummins. Ford at one time held less than 10% of Cummins stock, and that was it.As for using Cummins engines, in their pickups, no, but Ford did use Cummins engines before Dodge did - in their heavy duty trucks, such as tractor-trailers.

Why is there low Turbo Boost on your 1999 Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel?

Check your exhaust manifold. Cummins uses one that shrinks and then cracks. If exhaust is getting out before it reaches the turbocharger, you'll get low boost.


Pulley went out 1998 Isuzu rodeo through the serpentine belt oil light came on and is now coming on and going off what would cause this?

If overheating occurred there may be a problem with oil pressure. The oil pump is driven by the timing belt so check for proper adjustment. It is also possible that the disintegrating belt damaged the wiring to the oil pressure sending unit so go over the wiring harness to be sure. Shortly before losing my engine completely I had the same problem and it seemed that it all started from an overheating incident. Verify that you have good oil pressure before putting miles on the engine, whenever that light comes on there is inadequite pressure and the cause may be internal.

Can you put a chip in your 1993 250 cummins?

No you cannot "chip" the 93 cummins. It is a mechanical fuel system with almost no electronics. What you can do is replace the fuel plate, bigger injectors, exhaust, etc. I highly suggest researching thing a lot more before you do it though.


Is there a such thing as a Magnum V8 Cummins Diesel or is there only a Magnum V8 Hemi?

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!
