bigger turbo, injectors
you can also put an HP chip in it
sorry this guy is incorrect with the chip answer Dodge has a mechanical fuel pump till 1998 so if you know a good diesel mech you can have them turn your stock pump up to get more power.
but before you do any thing get a K&N air filter and put a straight pipe on it. these two will help and you should get better fuel milage
if that's not good then injectors and a turbo
A diesel powerplant uses the diesel power cycle for energy generation. A diesel power plant is one using a diesel engine to run a generator coupled to it. A generator produces power when it rotates.
for diesel: break power=34% cooling system=30% exhaust=26% surrounding=10% for diesel: break power=34% cooling system=30% exhaust=26% surrounding=10%
They certainly are. Using them together with carburetted engines can be a bit tricky, and usually the compression has to be lowered when compared to a naturally aspirated engine.
Diesel Engine has high load factor
A diesel generator combines a diesel engine with a traditional electric generator. The benefit of the diesel generator is that it allows power to be pulled without being connected to the electricity grid. It can be a valuable tool during a power outage. The generator must be the appropriate size for your power needs, however, or the system could short out.
The power rating for the 2006 5.9L I-6 Cummins diesel engine is 325 horsepower and 610 pound foot of torque.
They have good power, but the engine is very heavy.They have good power, but the engine is very heavy.
The power rating for the 2003 model year Cummins diesel engine is 305 hp and 555 pound feet of torque. This was the 5.9L Inline-6 turbo diesel engine from Cummins.
theolder power rams were gasoline the brand new power ram is a cummins diesel
This my personal input. I have three Cummins power Dodge truck. 1991 with 340,00 miles. 1996 with 240,000 miles. 1998 24 valve with 170,000. and all are still going strong.
80 - 1000+, depending on which model of Cummins diesel engine you had in mind.
The newest 6.7L Cummins Inline-6 Diesel engine has a power rating of 350 horsepower and 650 pound feet of torque.
On the Cummins diesel it is between the power steering pump and the engine timing cover. Follow the large hose from the brake booster towards the front.The gas engines do not have a vacuum pump.On the Cummins diesel it is between the power steering pump and the engine timing cover.

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.
If you mean "Cummins 5.9L" yes it's a good engine. There is no such thing as a Cummins 6.9L. The 5.9L I-6 Cummins is known as the "B-Series". It was named #10 out of 10 as the best-diesel engines ever according to Diesel Power Magazine.
The power of the engine on the1965 Dodge D-400 diesel is 105 hp. the maximum speed in 120 mph.
Most people say that Cummins is the best diesel engine but not with the new 6.7L offered in Dodge Ram trucks. The Ford Powerstroke Diesels put out more power than the Cummins by 40 horsepower and 85 pound feet of torque. Also, the new 6.7L Cummins engine has been known to overheat, stall, and the turbos are blowing in them at around 30,000 to 40,000 miles. The Cummins can't idle for more than 6 minutes or it will overheat and shut off and you must take it to the dealer to get the problem fixed. Let's compare. 6.4L Powerstroke diesel does not overheat, does not stall, but there ARE turbo problems with them. But that is no problem with the new 2011 6.7L Powerstroke diesel. As for Duramax, they've always been behind in quality but not power. So I'd say, here in 2010, that Powerstroke is the BEST diesel engine available in a pickup truck.
