The Dodge truck with the 12 valve did not have one. The 24 valve did.
94-98.5 dodge cummins 12 valve
Cummins is good. Dodge is not. Cummins has always been a good engine. Dodge is lucky to have the contract with Cummins. I have 2 Dodge Cummins (an 1992 and 2006). Both have electrical problems and the transmission in my 2006 isn't great and that's with stock power and only 93,000 miles. The 12-valve Cummins is all mechanical- easy and cheap to get power out of it. The 24-valve Cummins is computerized- have to buy a programmer. The best combination would be a Cummins in a Chevy.
yesyes
1989 up till 1998.5 then they changed to 24 valve
all depends on the driver of each and how it was cared for.. my 90 12v non turbo cummins with 300k miles can out pull my 08 turbo cummins with 68k miles any day of the week.
im pretty sure ther is no suvh thing from dodge/cummins theyve always been 12 or 24 valves a 1 valve just cant happen in a stright 6 you need a even number of valves per cylinder ex. the 12 valve cummins is a stright 6 and it has 2 valves per cylinder whic is the min. and the 24 valve has 4 valves per cylinder and is also a stright 6, the 12 valve came out in the early to mid 80s and the 24 idk a 16 valve would b with a stright8 or v8 it would have 2 valves cyl, ford and gm desiles are v8s
1997 Dodge diesels come with the 12 valve cummins engine. It is fully mechanical and does not have a camshaft position sensor. "Dodge cummins diesel forum" is a good resource for dodge cummins owners.
12 valve it is on the front of the engine, above the crankshaft pulley. 24 valve it is behind the starter, in the side of the block.
Won't be an easy fit.. the Cummins is an inline six, with a much longer block. You'll almost certainly have to go to electric fans.
