So I was at a local piping company looking around the back. Saw a lot of random thiings such as old bulldoxers and boats. There was also some old cars. One being an old dodge ram 250 reg cab cummins deisel. Not sure what year. I love it. I plan on going back sometime this week to talk to the owner about it. Theres a lot of rust and Im sure the enginne has some problems so itll be a fixer upper. If I get it Ill be sure to post some pics.

 

If you don`t get it, then you have no soul.............lol.

 

yea id love to have that for a summer project. nice torquey engine with decent mileage for an old truck. im jelous

 

O yeah. Im going in tomorrow and talking to the owner. What type of engine was in the 1st generation diesels??

 

I think it was a 12 valve Cummins.

 

Whats the cubic inches on that do you kno?? sorry but i dont know anything about old rams. If i get it ill probably be posting a lot lol

 

It will be the 5.9 liter, or 359ci. It has the VE injection pump, and depending on year may or may not be intercooled. Motor basically unchanged until the 6.7 came out, changes were mostly in the type of injection system, and going to a 24 valve head in mid '98.
Standard trans is a 5 speed Getrag, or an A-618 automatic non-O/D. Lots of motor info here http://www.dodgeram.org/support_pgs/diesel_ix.htm and the rest of that site has lots of general info.
