5.9 Cummins

The 5.9 Cummins B-Series Turbo Diesel engine premiered in 1998 and in an incredibly short time from its introduction this amazing, torquey and powerful 5.9 Cummins quickly became a favorite motor of heavy duty 2500 HD and 3500 Dodge Ram owners. Featuring a rating of 245 brake horsepower with the six speed manual transmission, or 235 brake horsepower for Dodge Ram heavy duty pickup trucks fitted with automatic transmissions, this incomparable 5.9 Cummins motor provides the muscle any heavy duty pickup truck owner would ever need in order to glide past traffic on any highway.

5.9L Cummins Has Stump Pulling Torque

With an absolutely stump pulling 505 foot pounds of maximum torque which is present in a broad and forgiving powerband on the 5.9L Cummins six speed manual transmission models from a low end 1600 rpm to a strong midrange 2300 rpm, the 5.9 Cummins Diesel Dodge Ram pickup trucks exhibit the type of brutal strength and irresistible torque that can pull virtually any trailer no matter how massive, or any exceptionally heavy load up to the rated Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the 5.9L Cummins Dodge Ram heavy duty pickup truck.

5.9 Cummins Diesel Is Super-Reliable

A 5.9 Cummins Diesel heavy duty pickup truck owner is interested in maximum reliability; long term durability, and day after day dependability in any ambient temperature; in any weather; and in the broadest variety of American road conditions, from the Alaska Highway in January to July in Death Valley. That is one of the main reasons why the 5.9 Cummins B-Series Turbo Diesel with its average of 400,000 miles engine life prior to requiring an overhaul has an unparalleled life expectancy. Durability has long been the unbeatable Dodge Ram advantage of the 5.9 Cummins Diesel.

Longevity Is The Key To The 5.9 Cummins Engine

This outstanding 5.9 Cummins Engine longevity is not provided at the expense of performance: The 5.9 Cummins is a 4 stroke in-line turbocharged, charge air cooled six cylinder engine with a compression ratio of 16:3:1, a bore of 4.02 inches (102 mm), and a stroke of 4.72 inches (120 mm) for a total displacement of 359 cubic inches (5,880 cubic centimeters or approximately 5.9 litres). The 5.9 Cummins Engine generates more than enough brake horsepower and outrageously massive amounts of torque to easily keep up with any of the eight cylinder competition.

5.9 Cummins For Durability & Performance

The 5.9 Cummins for performance, weight savings, and ease of maintenance incorporates a six cylinder in-line motor which has only three fifths as many parts of a comparable Powerstroke or Duramax eight cylinder diesel engine.

The design of the 5.9 Cummins B-Series Turbo Diesel as fitted into heavy duty Dodge Ram pickup trucks is simplicity itself. That's why many Dodge Ram owners still say to this very day: 5.9 Cummins for ever!
