if the engine is stock it has 160 horsepower
Yes
The Dodge pickup trucks with Cummins engines are diesel turbocharger engines. They are built by the Cummins company and have been used in Dodge Ram trucks since 1989.
The engine computer is mounted on the driver side of the engine block.
No such part on a 1997 Cummins.
Most likely a 5.9 liter cummins turbo diesel 12v
Cummins 360 ?? I'm assuming you are talking about the Cummins 5.9L, like in a Dodge pickup. When you pop the hood, look at the left (passenger) side up against the firewall. Look for the yellow cap that says "Engine coolant only."
MAYBE... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes. The only engine off the top of my head I can think of is the 5.9L I-6 Cummins. Go on YouTube.com and type in "Cummins Ranger." There is a guy with a Cummins Ford Ranger! :D Here's a link to YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/

The 5.9L Cummins engine holds twelve quarts of engine oil.
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.
Here's a few million mile pickup truck diesel engines - - - 7.3L IDI International (Ford), 6.9L IDI International (Ford), 7.3L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel (Ford), and the 5.9L Cummins I-6 engine (Dodge.) Of the newest diesel engines offered in the Big 3 trucks, I'd say #1 is the 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel, #2 6.6L Duramax, #3 6.7L Cummins.
Because Dodge wanted to sell a Diesel version if the truck. Diesels are long lived, more rugged and higher torqued than gas engines. Chrysler doesn't make one of their own. Why invent one when Cummins makes an excellent pickup sized diesel?
