Robert knows his stuff. He’s been able to talk with the old timers and really get into the history. Just waiting for him to write a book about Dodge and Cummins

I have an 89, my buddy bought it from a friend's car lot. After abusing it for 12 years he sold it to my dad. My dad drove it for several years then the trans went out, we fixed it and it's still going. My dad gave me the truck a year ago for my birthday. The best gift I have ever got! My old old friend truck them to my dad then to me. My old friend always told me that was the biggest mistake selling the truck. He a few ford's after that but always regret selling the best truck he ever owned.

WOW. Really nice Podcast! Very impressed with the speakers product knowledge.

I remember reading in either Peterson's Off Road or 4-Wheeling magazines a review of the 1978 Dodge diesel pick up. The writer discribed the acceleration as being imbarassing - "You know its slow when your being passed by a kid on a skate board!"

While I worked at Diesel injection Service the Bosch rep told us the main reason Dodge got away from the P7100 fuel pump because it was 1/3 the cost of the engine. It's always about the money.

I see you like to live on the wild side. I changed all fluids, oils and filters when I bought my used 08 6.7 with 207k miles on it. When I went underneath to change the atf and internal filter on the 68rfe I saw a reman tag on the transmission. Made me feel a bit more relieved that I had a rebuilt trans that I could take care of. In return it has taken care of me. No issues whatsoever.

In early 1980’s Jack Roush the first to install the Cummins B series as a test engine which came from Onan generator

In 1990 a dually Cummins 4x4 was listed for 21, ooo fully loaded.

On any automatic transmission at least the ones were talking about here today a good quality shift. Kit is very important I like for every day driving trans go tow and go. No I wanna tell you a mistake. A lot of people make they get these aftermarket valve bodies and a crank up those wind pressure that’s OK if you’re just gonna make some passes down quarter mile but what you’re doing is you’re shoving a torque converter forward harder than what the designers intend it. It’s hard on the thrust bearing and the Engine, it’s just not good it’s OK to have some additional line pressure which the towing goes shift it does but it keeps it within reason and your shifts do you want them quick and firm minimal overlap and use a good quality transmission fluid don’t be buying the cheap stuff all right guys this is six in a row jim from Kennerdell, Pennsylvania

Failing transmissions are still a common theme with RAM. Why they cannot use an Allison is mystery and a shame. Great engine but everything else is garbage.

Wait, so my 2006 subaru Outback Turbo charged engine produces less nox than the Naturally Aspirated Engines?

Cummins in Dodge = the birth of the Hotshotter movement

Current ram 2020 owner. This is my third cummins and as usual the motors are good. The rest of the truck sucks as usual, bad tranny, poor front ends, cheaper inside feel than the other two. Almost too much sacrifice to have a inline 6 diesel. Now with the emissions issues from my ram with 172000 compared to zero emissions problems on my 2017 6.7 Ford with 162000.

That’s a lie

There is some misinformation in here. The highest hp factory VE Cummins was 212hp. Also you can not get anywhere near 300hp on a non intercooled engine with just a fuel screw turn. The turbo on the non ic-s won't support 300hp without piston melting egts regardless of what pump and injectors you put in front of it. Maybe he meant 200hp detuned to 160 That they could probably do. Old Yellow was an August of 1988 built truck so I know these engines very well. I have also had experience with those 1970's Mitsubishi diesel trucks and they were horrendous.

I saw some paper work where cummins got 300 hp out of the marine diesels but with seawater after coolers heaver cranks, stronger rodds and different ip. The b series is a low hp motor with lighter components i think 210 was the maxhp on that cpl because the 215 engines had the high hp components in them i also have never seen a dozer with a 6 b engine making over 200 hp dozers do their work with gears not horspower

@@donerickson7869 370hp was the highest hp mechanical 12v b series. same rods and crank as 91.5+ truck engines but with different lower compression pistons and camshaft with more duration as they were intended to run 3000rpm versus 26-2800. They had P7100 injection pumps as well. When not provided with infinite water to cool with like in marine 250hp was the top on land rating for 12V 6b engines and again with p7100 pumps. They also were built with A , MW, and Nippondenso EP9 pumps all with various hp and torque ratings for different applications. There are probably 1000 different 5.9 build configurations.

If only Ford that owns Cummins made a pickup with a Cummins Allison combo. Perfect pickup.

The newer Cummins semi truck engines are trash. Isx15 and X15 they need a rebuild at like 700,000 miles.

That's because of all the emissions that they have hanging off the motor all of the regen stuff. So that the motor isn't even breathing fresh air without the set of the regen stuff
