The first place to look for used Dodge diesel trucks is a local Dodge dealer, but if none can be found through a dealership or local classifieds, there are a few recommended websites. One is DieselTrader, which specializes in diesel engine automobiles; the other is more general but offers customized searches, and that is AutoTrader.
Yes it will, but you will want to change everything. Not just the motor. The transmission, radiator, & the entire fuel line/ pump system.
The most common place to buy a Dodge 3500 Diesel would be through eBay. Although, there are many other websites that allow you to purchase a Dodge 3500 Diesel, such as the cartrucktrader.
No, use exactly what Cummins recommends and nothing else.
It depends. First you have to determine the series of your engine (i.e. series 60, 8v71, Series 50, 16V92, etc.). Next you have to find the serial # of your engine. Now you can call your local Detroit Diesel dealer with that info and request a price quote for an identical replacement to your engine. These engine swaps can be very costly and there are many alternatives to getting an engine up and running. You can also have a diesel engine repair shop rebuild your diesel engine at a fraction of the cost of swapping out the engine entirely. Sometimes something as simple as switching out your bearings or your piston rings can improve performance dramatically. Then there are times when your pistons and liners are blown and buying an entire diesel engine overhaul kit and rebuilding the engine is necessary. As long as your block is still good you can always rebuild your engine and if your block is cracked you can always try to find a good used block locally and have it rebuilt. A good place to find diesel engine rebuild parts is:Detroitdieselmiami - They carry pistons, liners, ring-sets, bearings and gaskets in pre-assembled diesel engine rebuild kits. They service Detroit Diesel, Cummins, Caterpillar, International/ Navistar, Komatsu, John Deere, Perkins and many others. They have a friendly and knowledgeable staff that can help you properly identify the parts needed for your engine. They service all diesel applications: on-highway, marine, industrial power generation and heavy machinery as well as agricultural. A good place to find a diesel mechanic / Machine Shop/ Diesel Repair shop would be on: nttsbreakdown
Hard starting on a diesel is from a lack of fuel or a lack of heat/compression. Air in the fuel lines, plugged fuel filters, and broken electric fuel pumps are the more common hard start issues. Cummins engines use a grid type air preheater. If the hard starting is ONLY in cold weather this is a good place to start.
Well, right now everything is pretty much Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel, so that's what you'd use. If you're in a place where Low Sulphur diesel is still available, that'll work fine for the 8.3.
(1) For a fuel transfer or lift pump. The transfer pump is kind of like a 1970's gas engine fuel pump. This pump is located on the left side middle of engine. Disconnect the batterys (Both). Remove starter. Place a drain pan below the pump. Remove the both fuel lines. (May have to loosen other end of the steel lines). Remove two mounting bolts. Lower pump down. Take note: some Cummins engines have a spacer between the transfer pump & the engine block that requires two gaskets. Not to sound short for this part. (2) For an injection pump. There is a lot of timing issue here. Take it to a mechanic that you trust and is a cummins tech or get a factory manual (Dodge or Cummins)
They never owned Cummins in the first place.
All most all trains are diesel/electric, an diesel engine turns a generator that powers electric/traction motors.
No. Now in a diesel engine that's different. A diesel engine can be coaxed to run on many diffeent types of oil included the old oil from your takeaway food place.
