Low power or no start.
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.
The only engine used in a Dodge vehicle that does not have a timing chain or belt would be the Cummins diesel. The Cummins diesel uses timing gears.
OEM parts would have to be purchased direct through Chrysler LLC. I'm not sure who the manufacturer of the pump is - if it's Cummins, you could source it through them. Otherwise, you might have to hit the salvage yards and see if they have anything available.
i would check out the injector pump. it is a common problem with that model cummings.
in this truck it would have a 12 valve 5.9 liter cummins diesel in it
alternator and od solonoid
If you compare the 7.3L Powerstroke to the 5.9L Cummins, I'd say equal quality. If you compare the 6.0L Powerstroke to the 6.7L Cummins, Powerstroke loses. If you compare 6.4L Powerstroke to 6.7L Cummins I'd say equal quality for that one too. The new 6.7L Powerstroke produces more power than the 6.7L Cummins and it is supposed to be the best Powerstroke engine ever. The warranty has been extended from 100,000 miles to a 125,000 miles! I'm so excited about this new Powerstroke. Ford says it is designed for an easy 300,000 miles. I don't know. Only time will tell if the 6.7L Cummins is better than the 6.7L Powerstroke.The cummins would defeat the powerstroke no its the other way around you have no idea what your are talking about because the power stroke would kill the dodge there is no power in the dodge
dodge ram 2500 with a 5.9 cummins diesel. The dodge is made of steel not plastic and is a proven work truck. The repairs(if any) will probably be cheaper and the resale value will be higher
The rumor originally was that Dodge and Nissan would both go with the 5.0 Cummins V8 for their 1/2 ton pickups. However, Dodge went with the VM Motori engine. VM Motori is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiat.
While is would bolt into place, it will not work without major modifications. The fuel and computer control systems are completely different.While is would bolt into place, it will not work without major modifications. The fuel and computer control systems are completely different.
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.
A 2003 Dodge diesel manual transmission will work in 1990 Dodge diesel manual and bolt to the 1990's transfer case with little fabrication.
