This 1,100-pound bottle of iron, to thousands of diesel lovers, is the patriarch of the modern diesel age. The Dodge Rams of 3⁄4 and 1 ton can be made to produce a relatively easy 500 row, rack up more than 20 mpg and last for over half a million miles. In addition to being a plant for it.
But why is a 20-year-old, injection-border diesel so high in the priorities for everyone?? Scroll as we detect everything in High suits. The eleven reasons for the legendary 12 version of the 5.9L range from free power to an almost indestructible design and largely interchangeable parts for all model years are factors in the following 11 examples (including on-road, off-road, and marine applications).
Simple design
Compliance with the 89-98 edition with Cummins 5.9L 12-valve. A cast-iron block and head, a forged steel shaft, rolls attached, a 6-controlled 12 valve Cummins head gasket set inline direct-injection design are all in the hands of a maximal power plant. Robust and long-lasting. A 4.72-inch shot (with a bore of 4.02-inch) gives a fantastic low torque and fuel efficiency of 359 cubic inches.

It is also easier to run on than the V8 competition and generate torque targets in an inline engine. A new engineer will pull the turbocharger in minutes and repair the water pump less than an hour. With so few output improvements, the only concern is A 12 valve notorious for havoc on transmissions and axles. Although steam is simple to add, it is essential to improve the powertrain’s rest to reach 5.9L.
Stout Rods Connect
Shaped stain rods are of I-beam form, capable of handling 800 rep efficiently, in 12 Valve 5.9L (and ‘98.5-’02 24 Valve engines). Many retail companies offer polished, sliding, and equilibrated versions of a factory rod to withstand 1200 reps before bending for drag and sled applications, before turning.

High Duty Rod Bolts
The bars can handle 800 up north, but during this time, the roller bolts are factors, and with age and more incredible speed, they can return. Fortunately, ARP’s tensile strength of ’89-’02 5.9L is approximately 23% higher than in production units (PN 247-6303).
Cummins’ ARP Rod Bolts
With six 12mm head bolts per cylinder diameter, 5.9L Cummins seldom risks blowing, And the cylinders have extreme pressure and increase in the head joint. The headbox is up to 100 psi until expansion! Some 5.9L gurus turn the hardware literally into the plant (compared to add head-studs).
Cummins’ Head Bolts
Dodge Ram’s owner stresses 150ft/lb of his head bolts (centralized to the outside) and fastens a turbo-compressor. Finally, 80 psi of bolts was lifting from the fuel and air mods – the head wasn’t under stealing. While the 12-valve was in 1989-98, several people searched for ’94-’98.
Bosch P7100 Pump
You can imagine plenty of space for growth with so many moving parts within the P7100. More extensive, more giant springs and barrels Included are valves for transmission, fast-speed cams, various plugs, and fuel plate output.
P7100 was under construction in Cummins Bosch
Additionally, it significantly increases performance by advancing the P7100 schedule. Most of the pumping plants were up to 12.5°C, but pumps up to 18-19°C are still good for significant power boosting and even daily power setup (before cold start and drivability issues surface). In competitive sled motors, it is not unknown to fit pumps at 40°C. Head joints both outside and inside are in grade. Externals are visible on the outside of the engine as oil or refrigerant (typically underneath). Internal leakage happens as fluids enter a single circuit, which may cause coolant or oil changes. The first is sprinkling on the refrigerant expansion tank (cause of hydrocarbons).
