1977 and newer
FROM 95 TO 2001 AND FROM 2002 TO 2005
No, Ford has never used Cummins diesel engines in their trucks. Ford typically uses its own Power Stroke diesel engines in its Super Duty and other truck models. Cummins engines are primarily associated with Dodge Ram trucks, which have featured Cummins engines for many years. Ford's rivalry with Dodge has led to the use of their own proprietary diesel technology instead.
Any hood from a 1978-83 Chevy Malibu or 1978-87 El Camino or GMC Caballero would work.
Yes, all models and years of the Chevy Malibu and El Camino had AC as an option.
I've had my Rabbit PU for 11 years. I always use 15W 40 oil made for Diesel engines.
Diesel engines need more repair compared to gas combustion types. It is recommended that you get them check once at year and you need to repair them every 3-5 years.

The first two navy submarines equipped with diesel engines were the German U-Boat U-1, commissioned in 1906, and the British submarine HMS A1, launched in 1902. These submarines marked a significant advancement in naval technology, transitioning from earlier steam-powered designs to more efficient diesel engines, which allowed for greater range and operational capabilities. The use of diesel engines became a standard in submarine design for many years thereafter.
