I agree the Cummins engines are great, I own one with 148,000 miles on it. The only issues I have with the truck is everything that Cummins did not make. Shame Cummins don't make the entire truck.
Lol I agree I have a 91 with almost 500k on it but everything dodge made was junk back then but they have come a long way I have nothing bad to say about the newer ones I have a 06 with 260k on it that's been good to me
Yup it's true with 1st and most 2nd gens 3rd they started making good parts with the Laramie interiors n stuff. 2nd gen Laramies have good interiors too except the dashes. Wasn't until late 3rd gens that they fixed that.
I've always supported and worked on a few friends Cummins, I drove my first on a few days ago. I fell in love with it. I will get one within a year, my favorite is 2nd gen.
I started with a 1989 12-valve in a W250 that I ran for 21 years. Sold in 2 hours of the ad posting. The Cummins engine preserved the resale value. I currently have a 2006 Ram 2500 4X4 quad cab with the 325hp high output common rail 5.9 engine. It currently has 217,000 miles and runs perfect. I run fully synthetic oil. Fantastic engine!
I couldn't justify one in a half ton, but the HD pickups absolutely need the diesels. I had a 2.7 Ecoboost in an F-150 and THAT was a beast too. Nerts to a V8. Frankly, it acted a lot like a diesel at low RPM. Loved it! Install a PCV catch can and the Ecoboost is great.

Ones without ive seen lack power Engines are metal on metal wearing on each other. Im a machinist by trade Ive built more engine than most people could imagine. The key to a engine that will live a long life is knowing when to rering new bearings new gaskets and lap valves.

guys where are you located??- I have a problem with my 2003 dodge ram diesel engine 3500...5.9l ..176***miles . won't start. please ..give me a call 2159199918... Thanks
+Braxton Sorensen No need to go to the dealer. The brake light and abs light might just be low brake fluid. The transmission shift problem is your governor solenoid. It's a big problem with a easy and cheap fix. A new larger governor solenoid is about $50-$60 bucks or you can go all out and get a heavy duty GM solenoid for $190ish. All you have to do is drop your pan and remove the solenoid and replace it with a new one. While you are down there get a new filter and/or new deep pan and/or 3-4 accumulator spring. I replaced all those including the pressure transducer. Lastly tighten up the kickdown band and rear band. All this can be done with simple hand tools.
I just got a 2014 Ram Cummings 2months ago. Its my first diesel in a pickup. I know big truck diesels since I'm a truck driver for 25 years. Something to know, all semi trucks are inline six, none are v-8. The reason is inline engines last twice as long, well four times as long then a v-8 design. Its a balance design v design works against each other by pushing dead pistons up, inline uses the crank in tandem thus work with each other.. Also as you have pointed out, diesels need to be maintain to perform. Semi trucks hold 12 gallons of oil so they can go 25k, my 6.7 holds 3 gallons, so I'm thinking 12k. Manual says 15k,
Twice as long? Eh.. not really, Four times as long? HELL no! If this is the case, PLEASE explain to me how the 7.3l international engine ford used to use in their pickup trucks, has logged over a million miles, on numerous occasions?
Screemin' Jimmies with 8V71's were V8's. With 25 years under your belt you must have driven some green leakers in your day. And it's Cummins not Cummings.
25 years experience,and you don't know the difference between Cummins, and Cummings? Come back and tell us again when you are old enough to legally drink your first beer, driver.
Make sure you get the Aisin (Japanese) transmission. But any way you look at it you're getting an Italian truck manufactured in Mexico, but with a great engine. The injectors just want clean fuel. Install a quality filter.
The 47re can last a long time as long as its built properly. If you rebuild it with OE components you will be rebuilding roughly ever 150k. Build it with billet components, extra or fatter clutches, billet shafts, billet torque converter and flex plate and update the valve body with billet components it's a great transmission. Gotta spend roughly 4k to get it that way but worth it if you keep it a long time.
I own a 2000 2500. 5 speed of course!…original everything except Its on its second clutch. I am the second owner the original owner lived out in the country in my hometown and hauled a horse trailer its entire life. Gotta love the cummins!
You can get a rubber cap that screws into the filter to pick it up after it drops. But I found out after buying that cap that I don't need it in a 2019 Ram 5500. The Cummins has been redesigned. I don't know if it's the motor or the truck but filter access is no longer a problem.
You can also get a high milage license plate frame from Chrysler. I's pretty nice, cast pewter and made in the USA. Got em on my hemis. BTW plenty of upgrades for the Dodge transmissions. If you raise the line pressure, they will last fine. Love to have a Cummins, but I'll keep driving a hemi unless I win the lottery.
A lot of people wish that! Ford Frame/Cab, Cummins engine, Allison trans=perfect truck. Yeah Id say Id like that, although I don't care about the Allsion, because Id want a manual trans.
Ron LeVine Diesel Exhaust Fluid or DEF cataliticly changes the carbon dioxide and NOX emissions in exhaust to nitrogen and water vapor, so we don't polute our air. Ignorance isn't an excuse.
I know this is an old video, but Id like to know what upgrades the guy did on that old dodge. I have that same Gold 2001 2500 and its on its 3rd injection pump and 3rd lift pump. I need to update the lift pump. I thought I was monitoring the fuel pressure adequately but one day the pump just died with ZERO warning and $3200 later, i was back on the road. I should also note, that I replace my fuel filter every oil change @ around 7000 miles and I use Mobil Super Delvac.
As for deleting the EGR and DEF systems, what then is required for deleting the extra emission junk they have for the exhaust for the 6.7's? If I was to remove the stock exhaust would it still run since it won't be using the chemical reaction stuff anymore?
How is the front end on the truck ? ball joints etc... 900k i'am trying to decide what truck to buy to pull a airstream, your opinion would really help, thank you.
i have a 2011 6.7 cummins full delete done wth 225000kms on it. I did the front end around 210000kms. The new body styles have a stronger front end than the early and mid 2000s style.
I have one of those engine brakes and it is awesome. However it is not quiet. It is real easy to tell when the computer has turned it on, from both the braking and the noise.
Cummins are a great engines, but when we had an 06 2500, it went through so many front end suspension parts, and as well as a transmission before it saw 100,000 miles, and in eastern Ontario you see a lot of very rusty trucks too. If only the trucks themselves were as well built as the engines in them
have a 06 3500 with 200,000 on it. It is used for pulling big trailers, trany started to slip just changed shift celiond works like new.Don't know what issues you had but most people don't know it could be a simple fix.
KIM JONES catastrophics torque converter failure resulting in wiping out the whole transmission and replacing it, several cv joint replacements, all before 100,000 miles
Kenyon Payne there's no such thing as a cv joint in the front end of a Ram pickup. And I don't think you understand how a TC works. Spoiler alert: they can't "wipe out" an entire transmission.
ok... so how do you reset the maintenance indicator light?? EGR and DPF systems are not going to let the 6.7L last like the 5.9s did. The EGR destroys the engine.
The emissions is the problem on these new trucks as far as reliability, not the engines . The 6.7 powerstroke is a great motor , and better overall truck.
@@coolsquad7428 I have owned both , and yes the Cummins is slightly better in reliability, towing . The 6.7 is the better overall truck though in my opinion , and many others . Unless i am towing 15k for commercial use , I will take the Ford 6.7. It is a better truck , transmission , quality. My issue has never been against the cummins engines , but the truck around it.
All High pressure pumps die eventually. There no where as bad as people some make them out to be . The Vp44 is still allot cheaper than a new set of common rail injectors.
Hello, I have a 2003 Cummins Ram pickup with 266,000 Km on it. It won't start without a quick spray, which I have to spray every time I want to start the truck. Do you have any suggestions or ideas of why this might be? Thanks.
I add a can of sea foam in the fuel filter housing everytime I change the fuel filter..... got tht from Deboss garage on TH-cam for those who dnt know..... is tht good or bad in other ppls opinion..... always been fine for me..... like to hear other opinions
Great video just a question about the engine brake with the turbo back pressure. When the driver pressures the switch on dash for engine braking full back pressure. Does that override the Ecm control of the VGT to vary the duty cycle on the turbo actuator Thanks. Mark
Mark, the act of pressing the switch does not mean you are manually controlling the exhaust break, if that's what you're asking. By pressing the switch, you're allowing the computer to control the VGT on the back end/exhaust brake electronically when you let off the gas or brake. There is no manually controlling the VGT. Hope this helps
I have 4001000 miles on my 05 cummins 3500 and I've always used valvoline 15w-40 mixed with lucas oil stabilizer and a k&N oil filter also add fuel stabilizer Diesel kleen. plus every time I do my oil change I fill my trans with lucas oil. and believe me runs like new like it better than my 2014 6.7
Please Awnswer my question I have a 2000 dodge cummins 24 valve and I was wondering how I would get the brake light off and the abs light off and also when I go and when it is in first gear and it revs up it about 2300 and then u have to let off the gas for it to shift and then the rest of the gears are fine please help me thanks need to get fixed fast please tell me what is going on with it and tell me how to fix thanks a lot
I've always been a fan of the Dodge Ram D250 and D350, because they're available with the Cummins Turbo Diesel. I've always been rather old-school when it comes to diesel engines. As much as I appreciate cleaner emissions and being able to breathe cleaner air, I've always been skeptical of the emissions standards that the US-EPA have been trying to get car makers to meet. I see them as unrealistic, at best. Therefore, I've always preferred truck engines like the Cummins 4BT and 6BT diesel engines. The 6.9 litre six cylinder and 3.9 litre engines would be perfect conversions for anything that was never originally offered with a diesel engine.
How does the DEF works in cold weather? I mean in very cold weather, such as minus 20 or below for days. Heard horror stories of the DEF freezing and the motor derating to barely allow a limp few mph for few miles.
I like to mess with people about their Cummins trucks but theres nothing wrong with the engine but I'm a Powerstroke man I have a 1996 F350 obs first gen 7.3l Powerstroke zf5 manual transmission worked all her life & has 1.3 Million miles under her belt & still running & pulling as strong as the day she rolled off the line
after the emissions the added power actually equals the same as the 5.9, the torque is a little higher, but the milage is no better if not worse, i drive a 2003 5.9 pushin 800 hp that gets 20mpg, i can make the road behind me disappear, and my friend driving a 2007 6.7 just put in a smarty delete and 5 inch turbo back, and his milage increased by more then 5 mpg when he isnt still playin with it, so in the end the 5.9 is still a boss
Thought we had a lot of miles on our 04 3500 flat bed with 391,xxx miles only thing we've done is a transmission of corse and the front end and water pump 1 mouth ago transmission made it to 180,000 which isn't bad for towing heavy loads it's whole life
go to cummins for filters not dodge dont forget about the crank case filter under the plastic cover on top of the engine that has the cummins name on it
Yeah the engine has 850lbs of torque but is that getting to the wheels and can it out pull? The Duramax may not be the strongest engine but the frame and transmission is excellent which makes it the better rounded truck.
I've got a 1992 D250 Cummins and it's around 310K miles right now. I love my old truck.
I like the fact that he said that the reason it lasted was because of the maintenance and not just simply because it’s a Cummins.
900k + miles that's just awesome from a truck. you could not ask for better

Use your exhaust brake all the time with these trucks. It keeps the innards of the turbo sliding freely and not getting gummed up with soot.
I've always supported and worked on a few friends Cummins, I drove my first on a few days ago. I fell in love with it. I will get one within a year, my favorite is 2nd gen.
I'm with ya!!!!! always wanted a 1st or 2nd gen cummins with stacks for my first vehicle! Cummins are great!

Great video just a question about the engine brake with the turbo back pressure. When the driver pressures the switch on dash for engine braking full back pressure. Does that override the Ecm control of the VGT to vary the duty cycle on the turbo actuator Thanks. Mark
Mark, the act of pressing the switch does not mean you are manually controlling the exhaust break, if that's what you're asking. By pressing the switch, you're allowing the computer to control the VGT on the back end/exhaust brake electronically when you let off the gas or brake. There is no manually controlling the VGT. Hope this helps
Also with the tow/haul button pushed it really slows the truck down
I thought they started running DEF in 2013 not 2011?
How much will that 01 pull with that 5.9
Is the fuel drain the same on an '04 Cummins H.O.?
What about those major EGR issues with the early 6.7s?
bmwmsport11 your talking about the 2017 pissy Ford power stroke?
Hey Matt?!, my DEF gauge says on full lol cuzzzzzzzz it’s deleted mmmmmm with a nice tune!!!
I have 4001000 miles on my 05 cummins 3500 and I've always used valvoline 15w-40 mixed with lucas oil stabilizer and a k&N oil filter also add fuel stabilizer Diesel kleen. plus every time I do my oil change I fill my trans with lucas oil. and believe me runs like new like it better than my 2014 6.7
how many mpg chassis cab does?
Simply a Superior Engine!
best diesel truck engine on the market
Please Awnswer my question I have a 2000 dodge cummins 24 valve and I was wondering how I would get the brake light off and the abs light off and also when I go and when it is in first gear and it revs up it about 2300 and then u have to let off the gas for it to shift and then the rest of the gears are fine please help me thanks need to get fixed fast please tell me what is going on with it and tell me how to fix thanks a lot
front ends too?
Did I miss the work done to the 12v 2nd Gen? lol
I6 easy to work on? This true. I'm looking into the Dodge just cause of this engine for towing
If people really maintain their cummins engines like they do here, all cummins would make it to a million. Except those 53 blocks rgg
Don’t want to maintain a cummins engine, so I got the cybertruck.
@@starshipdriver8536 May sell my Tesla shares and buy the cyber truck 2 lol
I've always been a fan of the Dodge Ram D250 and D350, because they're available with the Cummins Turbo Diesel. I've always been rather old-school when it comes to diesel engines. As much as I appreciate cleaner emissions and being able to breathe cleaner air, I've always been skeptical of the emissions standards that the US-EPA have been trying to get car makers to meet. I see them as unrealistic, at best. Therefore, I've always preferred truck engines like the Cummins 4BT and 6BT diesel engines. The 6.9 litre six cylinder and 3.9 litre engines would be perfect conversions for anything that was never originally offered with a diesel engine.
How does the DEF works in cold weather? I mean in very cold weather, such as minus 20 or below for days. Heard horror stories of the DEF freezing and the motor derating to barely allow a limp few mph for few miles.
everyone hates on the dodge trans, i had a 1990 12v auto 3 speed. 300k stock trans never a single problem!
i got a 2001 with 270,000 on it good to see i got a lot more miles to go
My 2006 3500 dodge needed pads at 170K
GM boxed frame (remember f150 videos boasting about the fully boxed frame) + cummins + Allison = best.
I fear this is very true. I think I'll swap a Cummins into my dads 2006 gm diesel.
I like to mess with people about their Cummins trucks but theres nothing wrong with the engine but I'm a Powerstroke man I have a 1996 F350 obs first gen 7.3l Powerstroke zf5 manual transmission worked all her life & has 1.3 Million miles under her belt & still running & pulling as strong as the day she rolled off the line
after the emissions the added power actually equals the same as the 5.9, the torque is a little higher, but the milage is no better if not worse, i drive a 2003 5.9 pushin 800 hp that gets 20mpg, i can make the road behind me disappear, and my friend driving a 2007 6.7 just put in a smarty delete and 5 inch turbo back, and his milage increased by more then 5 mpg when he isnt still playin with it, so in the end the 5.9 is still a boss
i wasnt surprised about the cummins with 900.000 miles on im surprised the truck it self lasted that long lol
I had a piston basically explode; it was in pieces when the motor was pulled apart. And the other one had a cracked block.
DEF has a shelf life as well.
im mad at dodge for getting rid of the 5.9
Be mad at the pussy ass epa
hola..... habría alguna posibilidad de que puedan subtitular los videos en español xq yo no entiendo nada de ingles GRACIAS;
eduar cespedes no
Is that a C&C?
Gregory Boris a huh??
Going on about Cummins reliability but it’s the 5.9 not the 6.7 with DEF
Thought we had a lot of miles on our 04 3500 flat bed with 391,xxx miles only thing we've done is a transmission of corse and the front end and water pump 1 mouth ago transmission made it to 180,000 which isn't bad for towing heavy loads it's whole life
What would make a 2011 dodge ram with 5.7 humi. Miss fire on #4 cylinder.
Nice video.
I literally can't watch these guys, the hands never stop moving while they talk
go to cummins for filters not dodge dont forget about the crank case filter under the plastic cover on top of the engine that has the cummins name on it
Hi they talk about using DEF on diesal did you know that it is cancer causing so rubber gloves should be used when handling this fluid
Yeah the engine has 850lbs of torque but is that getting to the wheels and can it out pull? The Duramax may not be the strongest engine but the frame and transmission is excellent which makes it the better rounded truck.
