tappet clearance 6bt cummins
Saying it's a six cylinder engine doesn't narrow it down at all, seeing as the inline six is the most common configuration for Cummins diesels. The 6BT, ISB, L10, ISL9, ISL, M11, ISM, N14, ISX, Signature, and many others were six cylinder engines, and many of their even larger industrial diesels are, as well. What the valve clearance is... well, we'd need the model for that.
Firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4 with a tappet clearance of .010" intake and .020" exhaust
6 cylinder, "b" series, turbocharged
The power ratings are anywhere from 240 ish to 300 horsepower. Get the late model mechanically controlled engines. They are the big brother to the 6bt 12 valve. Very good motors.
The ISB is a 5.9 variant of the 6BT, manufactured after the implementation of ACERT emissions standards in 2002.
Depends on which engine it has in it. For that MY, you might have a Cummins 6BT, 3116 Cat, 3126 Cat...
Answer 1: Yes, but a 6bt Cummins would be the fastest. If you go with a Cummins, get 12 valve. Answer 2: The Suspension is not strong enough on a 1500 (1/2 ton) to handle the weight of a diesel motor.
Depends on what engine it has. IIRC, that model could be had with the DT466, DT530, Cummins 6BT, Cat 3116, or Cat 3126 engine.
For that model year, options included the Caterpillar C7 or Cummins 6BT /ISB diesel or the 6.8 Ford Triton V10 gas engine.
You will find the information on the Cummins website for the 5.9l B engine
If it has the engine compartment designed for the large block engines, the 5.9 liter 6BT and 5.9 ISB will fit, with an electric fan.
