All depended on the engine in it and rear gearing.
The "Dodge" diesel is actually a Cummins heavy truck engine. With proper maintenance, it should last about 250,000 miles. The injectors will need replacing every 100,000 miles. I would say 500,000 is average for the engine. I do not agree about the injectors. The truck will wear out before the engine does.
Yes, it is possible to swap a Dodge diesel engine into a Dodge 1500 that originally comes with a Hemi engine, but it requires significant modifications. You would need to address compatibility issues with the engine mounts, transmission, wiring harness, and exhaust system. Additionally, ensuring that the truck’s suspension and brakes can handle the increased weight and torque of a diesel engine would be essential. It's advisable to consult with a professional or do thorough research before attempting such a swap.
An engine from a LIncoln would not be a direct fit into a Dodge. That would take a lot of modifications.
You would have to know the size and type of engine, the age of the engine, the age of the bus and weight of the bus. As a general rule, a diesel engine on a bus would get around 6-15 miles per gallon.
Have vehicle scanned to determine problemv and/or clear codes
Most new cars go 100,000 miles before they need a tune-up if they have the platinum plugs installed., I would contact the dodge dealer and see what plugs are in your engine.
The engine codes for a 2000 Dodge would be either 2 digits long or 4 digits and start with a "P".The engine codes for a 2000 Dodge would be either 2 digits long or 4 digits and start with a "P".
10w30 or 10w40 is fine for all year driving in warm climates
A big block Chrysler (Dodge) 440, or even a Hemi would bolt in, with the appropriate engine mounts.
rated capacity is 5 quarts, i would use 5w30 unless you have very high miles
the engine mounts could be bad
