Vehicle Description
When Dodge decided to install Cummins turbo diesel engines in their
light duty truck line, the industry was changed forever. GM and
Ford had their own diesel applications, however, the Cummins turbo
diesel is virtually the same diesel engine that power 18 wheel OTR
tractor trailer rigs all over the country. The six cylinder design
was much simpler and less costly to service, better yet, the
smaller Cummins turbo diesel produced significantly more torque
than its competing V8's-400 lb ft. vs. GM's 246 and Ford's 345. The
Cummins turbo diesel did everything better: More towing capacity,
more hauling capacity, and the turbo diesel performed well at all
altitudes making with its competitors losing as much as 3 percent
per 1000 feet gained in altitude. The Cummins name became
synonymous with Dodge Ram truck line and set the stage for years to
come in light duty diesel technology.
