Chris Farley hey just letting you know I bought a 1997 12 valve Cummins and it has 262,000 miles and I just did the killer dowel pin. It consists of taking out the radiator, serpentine belt, the clutch fan, oil fill tube, a few small accessories, and than the front timing cover. Than after that it’s real simple with the tab kit you just make sure the dowel pin is in the hole all the way flush and there’s a threaded hole right next to it that you lay the tab over and a bolt will bolt it right In, 18 ft lbs of torque on it, red lock tite, and she’s bullet proof

Had them both and as a great service truck pulling heavy loads I had no preference. Both were very economical for work trucks and totally reliable.

12 valve...period. Most durable Diesel engine ever put in a pick up

Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and it is excellent. I use the truck for hunting off-road and as a daily driver...My next project is a Jeep Grand Waggoneer with a 12 valve 5.9...used for the same thing...I appreciate your videos please keep them up as I learn a lot about stuff I have never tried.

Clear and concise video. Not enough of that on here these days IMO. Thanks for the info

Very informative video with great comparison on 12v and 24v. Thank you for leaving all the fluff out!

In fairness to the earlier ve trucks, their dynamic timing does make them nicer to daily, and their low end fuelling makes for greater torque numbers. with the right front cover, 12-14mm adapters, and non ic delivery valve holders the ve can also be fairly easily swapped onto a 24v, though getting the timing right is trickier than it is for the 12v. Similarly many have swapped from vp44's to p pumps when they either want to get past the 7-800whp limit, or get tired of replacing vp44's.

I bought an 02 new so I'm partial to the 24v as it now has 287000 plus miles it's the most reliable truck I've owned still running strong I have a brother in law who has the 12v he has had good luck with it very dependable motors !

12 valve and standard transmission ! CHANGE VIDEO… please NO Mall crawlers!

I would always pick the 12v. It's true when you say they don't make them like they used to. Mechanical reliability in any scenario. Sure the 24v is easier to do upgrades on, but I like having peace of mind with my vehicles

1997 dually 12 valve owner here no issues 5th wheel puller

On my farm I've owned ALL variants of 12v and 24v and, the 1st gen 12v are the best and most reliable of them all if we're discussing just the engine. Simpler is always better. The performance guys have their 2nd gens which are also reliable trucks but easier to get power from. I use my trucks to work and daily drive. Once you delete the PCM and shut off solenoid you only need the battery to start them. They'll pull anything that any other diesel will, just in stock form it will take you longer to get there.

@Chris Farley I totally understand your situation my friend and I'm lucky enough to have a minivan for the family hauling but I know many can only afford their to have their truck to do everything. If you really, REALLY want a 1st or 2nd gen unfortunately if you want a ''mega cab'' for the family you're going to either have to find someone selling a converted truck (there were NO factory 1st gen 4 door trucks sadly and very few 2nd gens) OR buy a truck and have it converted. This still would be cheaper than doing an engine swap into a newer truck because with each generation, tons of electronics and emissions equipment was added. My recommendation is to either go with a new truck and if you're in a state/country that you don't have to get the vehicle inspected for emissions do a delete (it's still a federal law violation, but those corrupt crooks violate laws daily so screw'em I say! lol) The delete will make the 6.7 very damn reliable comparable to cost of an older truck but if a delete is not an option I'd look for a 3rd gen truck. Here's a brief description what you'd get per year and note the newer, the MORE likely you can find a nice big cab. 03 SO - don't see too many. not sure of power ratings maybe close to 265hp and 440 torque. Nothing wrong with the truck/motor combo. 03-04 HO - 305 hp and 555 torque. Most like because the motor is very responsive to hp upgrades, and they did not come with a catalytic converter. 04.5-05 - 325 hp and 600 torque. Again very upgradeable, easy to add lots of power, but came with a catalytic converter which seem to fall off anyway. 06-07- 325 hp and 610 torque. Same as above, for the most part. Just newer grille and headlights. 07.5-08 - 6.7 liter 350 hp and 650 torque. Some say the fuel mileage is not as good as the 5.9s because of the DPF, and EGR emissions regulations. Other than that great trucks. Good luck friend, mo matter your choice if you do the usual checks when buying a used vehicle (blow by check, proper maintanence check) you're getting an engine that can last a lifetime!

@Chris Farley I think the best option for you would be to buy a Ford 7.3 with a crew cab. The 7.3 is just as reliable as the 5.9, and you could easily find a mid-90's F350 crew cab around the $8k range. The 6.0 is actually a great engine as long as it's deleted and bulletproofed, or it's an '05 or newer. My dad has had both: an '03 and an '05 6.0. We noticed problems with the '03 as early as a year after buying the truck. It kept dying the whole way out to our ranch. But the '05 has had no issues. When we had another '03 6.0 and the engine blew, we looked twice into swapping a 12v into the truck. The conversion easily added up to over $17K. So we decided that, since the trans had low miles and you could do more to improve a 6.0 than you could a 6.4, we'd just install a new 6.0 in it.

Have 94 12val just bought 99 24 val Was interested in having 12 val cked out might do a switch and sell 24 val Your video was very informative. Thanks

I have both 89 12V and a 01 24V my 12V has way over one million miles and the engine has never been worked on other then water pump change. I'm new to the 24V and am waiting to put a load on it and see how it performs. The main difference I've noticed is in the automatic transmission. My 12v has a 3 speed automatic and will hall anything and is extremely fast. The 24v with over drive is better for the daily driver. Allowing me to get up to faster speed with less RPMs which uses less fule and lower spool ups. I'm not sure how it will pull. I live 3500 in elevation and drive my 24v everyday. When I turn the over drive off this monster will climb a hill no problem but no faster then 55-60 mph. My 12v will pull a hill without a load at any speed. I will probably not buy a newer truck. Living in California with emission laws and all the equipment they put on the exhaust slowing the flow. I drive a new flat bed at work with a Cummins engine and the performance is horrible. Most of the time the gas pedal is to the floor. 89-01 good performance trucks anything affter I would stay away from.

My 24v is in the process of becoming my welding rig mainly because parts are more available for it if something does go wrong whereas the 12v has to usually wait on parts to come in but is easily much more reliable it’s basically a trade off

id love to have a diesel dodge truck but i do have a cummins its a KTA525 in my pete

Ok I watched your 3 videos of Ford Powerstrokes, Chevy Duramax and this one. 12v vs 24v. I own an early 94 second gen 12v. I get better mpg than any other diesel PU owner I have ever talked to. My old girl has 400k miles on it. We have replaced lots of ancillary parts on it, clutch, starter, water pump....etc....the worst part of a first year gen2 Dodge is the front suspension and steering gear. But add a cold air intake and a 4 inch turbo back exhaust and she runs so good.

I'd honestly take either one. Drove a 24v for nearly a decade. Only issue we had was a pickup tube falling off in a fuel filter. Ironically when purchased the previous owner went through three injection pumps. Could've easily been a shop sabotage for repeat work and a lowball offer to purchase the truck. I do know someone who is notorious for pushing trucks beyond their limits that swears by the 12v. Being a Dodge guy I love a variety of things about them fron old to new. No rust and simplicity is a win/win to me.

My daily is a 99 Ram 3500 with the big booty, but I also have a 12v that runs perfectly but has no title. I love both because they’re amazingly reliable. Luckily I purchased my 99 24v from a very knowledgeable man who tried his best to make it as reliable as a 12v. She looks brand new and just needs a few more things before she’ll be on par with the 12v In terms of reliability. But for the average Joe who is looking to purchase ether a 12v or 24v Cummins it just depends on what you personally look for in a truck. Just remember that both will probably require some immediate maintenance after you purchase it. Also try not to use starting fluid on these engines because it’ll cause some major damage. My buddy’s work truck is a 12v which ran beautifully but after a winter of starting fluid, the truck will only start with the starting fluid no matter what the temperature is plugged in or not. So just treat these engines with love and respect and they’ll give you all the miles you can throw at them. Drive safe people.

Since I have 4 12 valves I will vote for the 12 valve!!

My '02 2500 (VP44 pump and all) HO with NV5600 six speed transmission and Dana 80 rear end is the best truck I've ever owned (like hands down!). Once the boost pump issue is addressed and the VP pump gets fed a steady 10-20psi it's about as reliable as anything out there. There definitely were issues with the boost pump/injector pump system on the early 24v trucks. Relocating the Carter boost pump or replacing it with a FASS or Airdog pretty much fixes that problem and it's a fix you can do yourself. Coming up on 170K miles on my rig and have no thoughts of ever replacing it. JMO!

I hear you. Had an 01 2500 with a 47re. Would run a little rough right after startup but smoothed out quickly. Took it in to the dealer and they " could not duplicate". Moved 1300 miles away towing a trailer and it ran fine. Bout a 6 months later it quit. Different dealer replaced the fuel pump. So that's what that noise is that I was supposed to be hearing before start. Ran for over a year with a bad lift pump. A year later I had to replace the VP44 when it failed. Learned what that shreider valve is for ( checking fuel pressure ). Did that at every oil change from then on. Everyone has to tell me how crappy the Dodge auto transmissions are. Mine had 205K on it when I sold it. Never had problem one with it. Filter and fluid change every year. Sold it to a friend so I still see it driving every day hauling his trailer. I did educate him on checking the fuel pressure into the VP44. Even gave him my pressure gauge. Now I'm down to just my '06 5.9 HO common rail. Standard cab long bed 4wd. It has the 48re with 155K and has given me no troubles although I would like a manual. This one I will never sell

Better video would've been a comparison of P-pumps, VP44s, and CP3s, the trucks differ greatly with the injection system. A 3rd gen 03 HO 5.9 CR isn't the same as an 06 5.9 CR internals changed, HO 03 has J jet oil piston coolers, 17.2:1 compression for 305/555, different piston bowl design than the later 04.5+, tuned from factory differently, earlier HOs were only offered in a manual NV5600, earlier standard transmission HOs had a single/solid mass fly wheel instead of a dual, G56 from Mercedes started replacing the NV series standard transmissions at 04.5, early 3rd gen HOs had no cats or emissions systems as we know them today on modern diesels, 3rd gen trucks now started using AAM axles instead of the Danas, etc.

Great info! 03s also have a 360 degree thrust bearing, which I believe is unique to that one year as far as common rails go. You’re right about the emissions equipment too. Additionally, 98.5 to 2002 second gen 24 valves didn’t require catalytic converters either because they were, at the time, compliant with federal emissions requirements without them. They instead had resonators. Same thing with the 03 to 04.5 common rails (non California versions), no catalytic converters from the factory. The 12 valves require catalytic converters, to be legal that is. This is the reason you can still easily buy turbo back exhaust systems in the US for the aforementioned years. Other years you’ll only find cat back systems.

My dream is a 24 valve with a p pump conversion and the y turbo. I don’t need all the power just enough.

Both good engines. The problem with either is people trying to push to much horse power out of these virtually small block engines. I drive a early 91, with slight mods. By today's standards it's a dog. But it could out tow all of it competition at the time of production. No idea the miles it has. Was around 200k around turn of the century.

Have you decided on anything yet? My goals are the same as yours...A lot of 10,000 lb towing with fuel efficiency. My build plan is a Ford crew cab with a 12 valve Cummins. If I can find one with manual trans, the truck should get a minimum of 4mpg better than a Powerstroke with auto trans. I'll be driving 100k per year so that extra 4mpg is worth $6,000/yr in fuel savings.

Nice video, thanks. I am often encouraged to use Commings in VolToy (my 6x6 project) But has held onto Toyota, partly because of significantly more standard RPM. What I do is take an electronically controlled 1HD FTE and make for mechanical 1HD FTM. If I listen to your video I come to the same thought with Commings: 24 valve with P pump? What are your thoughts on that combination? My goal is fuel economy, minimize electrical errors, stability in extreme cold (-50 degrees C). The main problem is that I need 100% overdrive. For the sake of axle ratior (9.88:1 Praga V3S) which cannot be changed. Overdrive can presumably be achieved with an industrial gearbox between engine and gearbox.

But I want the "Get up an Go" power to pass, and enter the freeway. I'm also looking for a 6 speed transmission too. Thanks in advance. Again, great video.

Both are good I prefer 24V mine has 285,000 miles on it 2005 5.9 and still runs amazing, have the powermax cr tuner on it and 90hp injectors and runs great no problems. All opinions tho but I go with 24

I was gonna build a Cummins to put in my 2010 ram big horn has 6.7 but thought of putting a 12 valve with p pump instead🤔 what to do ?????

12 valve,building one now

A rotary pump has a plunger?

The featured trucks should have been more stockish

@@JohnButler350 the message of the video is which one is better 12v or 24v. Not which build is best

Less filling! Tastes great! We'll never hear the end of this

Why did we ignore the late 24v engines? And can you do a comparison specifically of the x-98, 99-03?, 03-07

My 2000 Ram 2500 24 valve has 650,000 trouble free miles on it and is still going strong.

I have own both a 97' 12 valve 5 speed manual NV4500 and an 03' common rail with a 6 speed nv5600, both lightly turned up. While I do think I would go with the 12 valve motor and pump any day over the common rail (or god forbid a vp44) the 03' truck is head and shoulders over the 97' truck. The 03 has 4 doors!!!! 12 valves were only available with 4 doors (actually half doors in the back) for 1/2 a model year in 98'. Good luck finding that unicorn. It makes life so much better with a family having doors. The 12 valve steers like mushy poop. The 03' steers and rides a LOT better. Also the power delivery with a higher stock rpm limit and extra gear makes the truck much more usable. In the 12 valve the wide gap between 3rd and 4th gear plus the defuleing at 2600-2800 rpm made it very hard to get into 4 gear when going up hills and pulling loads. With and extra gear and extra rpm in the 03 the power is always usable. With $ in all those things are changeable but for low budget builds I think the common rail 24 valve is by far an easier truck to live with. On the other hand I don't buy the argument that the electronic tuneability makes power gains easier. On the 12 valve you can almost double the power just by turning wrenches and spending almost $0. Good electronic tuners PLUS good tuning aren't cheep especially for the 03-04.5. My 12 valve tickled me more than my current 24 valve common rail. The 12 valve sound cant be beat! I will always miss it but the 24 valve common rail is a much better truck for me.

We used this 12v 6BT on ship as our emergency generator engine.

Opinion on the 2000 24 valve used in a Class A RV?

Thank you very good..

Im not even sure which engine I have. Mostly because production runs of commercial equipment sometimes lags behind high production pickups. I own a 2000 freightliner mt45 with the 5.9 Cummins step van. That is one noisy engine!!! If I could change anything about the drivetrain it would be the noise and the 545 Allison trans to a 1000 Allison. I have even considered installing a late model duramax and tranny out of a salvage chevy but my 5.9 Cummins only has 63k on it. Any advice? or just live with it?

Get the beat of both worlds, P-Pump or VE pump swap a 24 valve. Another thing to note is that the lift pump on the 24 valve is known for a high failure rate, then it knocks out the VP44 injection pump. Fix is an aftermarket lift pump (Air Dog, FASS, etc), or just ditch the VP for a P7100 or VE. The P7100 also lacks dynamic timing over the VE pump, which means lesser fuel economy.

What is the power potential with a ve pump swap on 24valve. I assume ve pump less desirable and easier to find?

I'm pretty dumb on the subject, but can you do this?

I have a 2001 24 valve with 468000 miles on it, original pain , no holes in the body and the paint is still on the underneath here on the east coast of Canada and drives and sounds sweet, just saying.

I think of the P-pump vs VP44 like Carb vs EFI.

Wich is better, has daily driver & hard pushing use?

The VP44 was worth noting at least. The factory lift pump did not supply enough fuel causing it to overheat. An aftermarket lift pump is the safest way to be sure you don’t have to replace a $1200 VP44. ..... but you almost definitely will have too.

Agree. Failing to note the VP 44 disaster makes the article ridiculous.

I live in California. My 94 Ram 2500 Cummings bought in Idaho is smog exempt here.

That's because smog inspections are done only on model year 1998 and newer diesels. This is coming from a licensed smog inspector. Also, it's Cummins, not Cummings.

If you can bypass the distributor on a diesel engine and run the glow plugs all the time while the engine is running you get a much higher efficiency rating. Try this and run it on the tester.

When I die..you can find me in my 12v

What does "light modification to the connecting rods" mean?

Do what you want with your pickup but you'll get better performance out of actual rubberbands than some of the tires I've seen in this.

The 98.5 trucks also had the 53 block
