I have 4 Dodge Trucks. '89 2wd automatic @ 22 mpg (driving normal) and 17 mpg acting stupid with it (pump is turned up). '94 4wd Manual @ 18 mpg (all stock work truck). '96 4wd automatic @ 19 mpg (all stock), '98 24v 4wd automatic 18 mpg (driving normal) and 14.5 mpg acting stupid with it (575 hp and still finding weak links).
Cummins recomends no more than 5% bio diesel.
Considering that a diesel pickup truck can't use gas I would say that there aren't any diesel trucks that get good gas mileage. If you were wondering which diesel truck gets the highest miles per gallon then I would say you should look at the Dodge Cummins diesel.
Mopar, Wix, Cummins.
I have been trying to find the answer to this for a long time. The best is the Volkwagon caddy from the early to mid 80's 45 mpg. As far as full size trucks go the dodge cummins manual transmission, single cab short bed seems to be the best.
2006 was the last year of the best Diesel ever made 5.9 cummins engine 2003 was the last 5.9L V8
Driving styles are different for everyone. Keep it under 1700 rpm to get the best.
its a cummins if youre talking about the new 6.7 its got a lot, rem its a cummins and its a dodge, it only has the best inclass towing whats better
Here's a few million mile pickup truck diesel engines - - - 7.3L IDI International (Ford), 6.9L IDI International (Ford), 7.3L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel (Ford), and the 5.9L Cummins I-6 engine (Dodge.) Of the newest diesel engines offered in the Big 3 trucks, I'd say #1 is the 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel, #2 6.6L Duramax, #3 6.7L Cummins.
depends on if your looking for a regular work truck or just wondering who has the most powerful diesel. If your looking for a work truck that is new or used it doesn't matter, the dodge cummins diesel has always been more powerful and longer lasting in terms of the engine and pulling capabilities. The most powerful diesel built for pulling is owned by scheid diesel motorsports, its a cummins diesel that's putting out somewheres around 1600 hp and 2200 ft lbs torque. WRONG!!! Dodge diesels are not good. Dont get me wrong Cummins is by far one of the best diesels ever made but there transmissions cant hang. Chevy has the fastest diesel and overall best diesel in the new diesel market but the 7.3 liter 1994.5 to 2003 ford powerstroke diesels are the best on the road. I have had 12 valve cummins and 24 valve cummins all were good engines but had weak transmissions. My fords have never let me down. EVER! I hate the 6.0 liter engines and the new 6.4 liter is the worst yet but trust me hands down the 7.3 is the longest lasting diesel on the road today. If you don't belive me look it up.
Cummins is good. Dodge is not. Cummins has always been a good engine. Dodge is lucky to have the contract with Cummins. I have 2 Dodge Cummins (an 1992 and 2006). Both have electrical problems and the transmission in my 2006 isn't great and that's with stock power and only 93,000 miles. The 12-valve Cummins is all mechanical- easy and cheap to get power out of it. The 24-valve Cummins is computerized- have to buy a programmer. The best combination would be a Cummins in a Chevy.
If you mean "Cummins 5.9L" yes it's a good engine. There is no such thing as a Cummins 6.9L. The 5.9L I-6 Cummins is known as the "B-Series". It was named #10 out of 10 as the best-diesel engines ever according to Diesel Power Magazine.
