Cummins mpg vs 225 Slant 6 mpg

92 dodges had the heavier frame for the cummins. before that they were the same. I installed a 05 common rail cummins and all components from a 91-93 deseil dodges I had here into a 87 1/2 ton short bed dodge. It was turned up and would turn all 4 36" tires and never had a frame issue.

It was the 89 though 91 club cabs that had a problem with the frame. I would go diesel but that is me. I love the 1st gen and 5.9 the common rails. If its auto make sure it has the early 1st gen transmission the rest are junk.

all pics below are of the same 87 dodge owned since new.
