I have a 7.3 with over 670 k on the truck and it still pulls like a train . Best motor ever . 15 years I have had the truck . Still like the day I bought it . Best truck ever .!!!!!
My 2001 Ram 2500 has the 5.9L and it is the best. Plenty of power and I get 19-21 mpg. I will never give this one up. It has the best of the things i like. 6 speed manual, loud diesel noise., no annoying seat belt light or alarm, CD and cassette. Just what a 76 yr old guy needs.
My neighbour's 5.9 12 valve was severely damaged at about 100,000 kms by the killer dowel pin. He was lucky that it didn't destroy the whole engine, lots did. Some whole engines were replaced by Chrysler if the engine went while still under warranty. It's weird that this serious build fault is rarely mentioned when the Cummins name comes up.
@@glenbreaks5448 Wasn't there a big issue with some of the 5.9L Cummins engine blocks? The number "53" keeps tickling my memory somehow. Other than this and the issue you mention, Cummins diesel engines are great engines for towing and hauling with decent fuel mileage.
@edb3877 yes, those engines with the 53 block tended to crack and that was it for them. It's kind of funny that the stock 5.9s had these two fatal flaws that people tend to overlook. I suspect that's because of the name. Meanwhile someone puts a 175 hp chip into an otherwise stock 6.0 and thinks it's a POS because the head gasket blows! ( not fatal)
Yeah,i have a Dodge 2500 of 2000.I have never ever touched anything in that motor in 24 years.I just changed the axles ratio to 3,73 and bought down the transmission and replaced for an ALLISON 1000.
In my opinion the Cummins 5.9, 24 valve combines the legendary durability of this engine with a touch of refinement. Been driving mine for almost nineteen years. The longer I own it, the more I appreciate and want to keep going. Just the best.
2003 , 3500 , 4X4 , 5.9 , 6 speed standard, 4 door and 8 foot box the ultimate power wagon . 354,000 kms and in for all new injectors as one was defective. I get 23 mpg just bumming around, awesome truck.
I bought a 1999 Dodge 2500 CTD with the ISB in it brand new. It ate three $2000 VP pumps. I sold it and now have a 1995 with a 12 valve 6BT. I hear the hot ticket now is take the ISB, throw the VP pump out and put the 6BT P Pump on with the adapter kit.
My neighbor used to haul 5th wheel campers from the east coast of the US to the west coast. It’s a 2003 3500 dodge with the 5.9. That motor had 1.6 million miles on it before he did a swap. The truck is still going today. I have two 5.9 s one with 326 thousand miles and one with 500 thousand miles.
After 14 years running a one-man shop, I sold off all my modern crap and bought a '93 W250 with a Cummins & 5-speed. Couldn't be happier! I gladly gave up comfort, power, and handling / speed for RELIABILITY and EASY maintenance & repairs.
A 1997 F series Super Duty (F450) with the 7.3 Powerstroke was the best truck I ever had hauling a 10 ft camper and pulling a 3 horse trailer, in the mountains......smoothest running engine I ever had and all the power needed, got the job done for over 15 years, no problems, with reg maintainence.
So basically consolidated diesel hit the pinnacle in 1984 when Tenneco and Cummins decided to engineer greatness. 3.9, 5.9, and 8.3s just seem to be everywhere, just working away, clocking up the hours. 2 stroke Detroits did a lot for America in the 60s and 70s, but Cummins sure left a big mark on diesel history.
The Cummins 5.9 gets some bad press for oil leaks, noise, and some turbo issues, but in 40 years of truck leasing and medium duty sales, in my opinion is is one of the best engines ever produced. Cheap to maintain, cheaper to operate, NO electronics, and if it was in a proper application, I'd seen some at 400k miles still running strong!
@@robertmintz63 Best engine, with a great transmission, and the prettiest truck of course subjective opinion depending on the person and what body style they like the most
I have a 2005 Cummins with 980000 miles. I will be driving it for a very long time. There is no way I will buy a new diesel with emissions on it. They are junk.
@, keep her on the road. These old girls will outlast any of this new garbage. These old trucks can be fully rebuilt for far cheaper than the cost of a new truck. Plus these old trucks are just plain cooler than the new crap.
@, you didn’t scrape the connector thoroughly then. I’ve seen all years of 7.3L trucks with the hydra and they worked just fine if you clean the PCM connector correctly.
I got my 2006 cummins 5.9 IL turbo diesel on may of that same year and today after 200k miles and still running strong and super reliable I can report that this engine is indeed the kind of all engines. T6 Rotella oil and Baldwin fuel filter is my to go for regular maintenance. This truck will ride me to retirement age for sure. Still original injectors and transmission!! 🤙🇺🇸Cummins 5.9 rules!!!
Brother, I’m a 34 year GM tech at a dealership. Diesel retired recently, but the Duramax is the worst diesel engine ever made for the pin in the crankshaft or constantly breaking crankshaft constantly breaking camshaft in the new six cylinder Duramax diesel with the small time and chain in the back of the motor it is a total disaster so no Duramax should not even be in your lineup.
Yeah the firing order is truly a odd ball. I don’t like any V8’s or V6’s. Really anything V. In lines connecting rods don’t share crank space. Longevity is way better and easier to work on.
I've had 3 7.3's liked them all but sold them off I'm on my 3rd 6.0 I like how they run had them For 17 years now and I have a 15 6.7 deleted now that engine makes me smile
@stevenbrooks1243 I had a 2000 7.3 purchased new then traded it in on a 2003 6.0 which I still have (22years) The 6.0 has needed nothing until recently , just oil changes. Last month I renewed all of the engine sensors with OEM stuff and put a new high pressure oil pump on it as well. It's good for another 22 years now, even if I'm not! I liked the 7.3 but much prefer the 6.0. It has way more power than the 7.3, is quieter and gets a bit better fuel mileage, especially at high speed. The 5 speed Torqshift with tow haul linked to the 6.0 turbo braking is also big step up from the 7.3 auto 4r100, which wasn't a great trans.
Not sure about the 7.3, but I've had a '96, '99 and now a 2006 5.9 Cummins since new, and all three wngines have been able to outlast 3 or 4 trucks. I've seen guys driving these and the truck is falling apart around an engine that still purrs like a kitten and works like a Clydesdale. If you stay on top of the maintenance, these engines will basically run forever pre emissions / EGR.
It’s tied on the 5.9 and 7.3 in my opinion but then it goes down to the trans and then the stability of the body/chassi and with both the 5.9 and the 7.3 having there own issues in the trans the 7.3 takes the win in my opinion with the body not rattling apart
I heard a genetics company rep talking about their turbo Cummings ram truck used for delivering breeding stock with over a million Km on it and it was still going strong at the time.
I have a '99 Dodge Ram 3500 with the 24 valve 5.9 liter Cummins Turbo and a 5 speed manual transmission. I get just over 20 mpg. I figure that's pretty good for a truck that weighs more than 7000 pounds empty.
Exactly all power strokes are high maintance and low real world towing power a Cummins will pull all day below 2 k a power stroke needs to be almost redlined to even get a trailer moving and are slow 🦥 n the grades not to mention they have so much blowby at 200 k they leak everywhere.@@299charles
I have a 92 Dodge 250 club cab 4x4 with a 5.9 Cummins. I bought it in 95 and it has a million km. So far changed a starter and an alternator. Gets 25 mpg. 14-19 trailering. I also have a 92 Fleetwood 35’ class A Motorhome with the 5.9. Super motor. Gets up to 18 mpg. They’ve been good to me. Noisy in a truck, quiet back in a pusher.
Daily driving my 7.3L SD and it's better than when it came off the factory floor. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Now if they would just have made transmissions with the gears they have today, it would be unstoppable. The transmission (especially the auto's), is the least reliable thing about it. From what I've heard the 6 speed manual helps a lot, but a proper automatic with 7-10 gears would put all others out of business. ;-)
Between my father in law and my self. We have a 5.9, 6.7 Cummins, 7.3, and an upgraded 😉 6.4. the way it's supposed to be. The 5.9 and 7.3 are by far the easiest to work on and keep running. The 6.4 and 6.7 love to pull. Regular preventative maintenance is key. Conventional oil seems to work better than synthetics we only blend in subzero temps
How about a review on 4cyl diesel 2.8 duramax ? And other makes . Here's my review...2021 chev Colorado zr2 2.8 turbo brought it brand new for my retirement present best milage to date 120500km 5.9 ltrs pr 100 km , i average 3ltrs under per 100 km suggested 10.2 hwy / 12.6 city . It gets all proper mtnce and oil changes as pr mfg instructions. Now that ive passed 120,000.km oil change is aprox 12,000 km What a great investment i made with this truck , i dont think ill ever part with it. Almost forgot my best milage was 1134 km on an 87ltr tank and when i gilled up i still had 2.7 ltrs in the tank .
Here in the UK I had a 24tonne truck powered with the 5-9 Cummins engine,what a powerhouse,I never thought an engine of that size could produce such an amount of power,this engine was the unmolested unit before all the emission shite came on the scene,total reliability and compared to the 6litre engines available here with their miserable power outputs it was a joy to drive it made mincemeat of higher powered trucks on hills with its fantastic torque,old technology at its best.
Had a 24 valve in a05 ram 3500 sold it with over 300,000 and it is still running strong now I have a 5th gen 6.7 we will see if it makes it to the 300,000 mark like my old one
I’ve owned 3 on that list and one of them twice. Started with a ‘98.5 24v Dodge, then a 2000 F250 with a 7.3 Then an ‘02 Duramax. The electronics and emissions on the newer trucks just disgusts me. Just swapped a 12v and 5 speed into a 2011 GMC. By far , my favorite truck. Ya, it’s a little loud, but I’ve got the great ride of a GM and a bulletproof driveline that will only quit if it runs out of fuel or oil!
Have a 97 w/5,9, in a 2500 dodge 2wd. Hard pull with a 6500 lb trailer gets 18.5 mpg where ever it travels, hills, flats, desert. Keep her down around 1800 with a 5 spd. Barely broke in as some would say. No modifications.......Why? Do not need to upset the apple cart as most will do. Will definitely out live me at 69yrs young...!
My 1999 5.9 Cummins is still running like top in my 2500 Dodge I don't think u can kill it that's why I keep driving like I stole it God bless America and Texas semper Fi 👍💯🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Definitely 1 Diesel engine was left of this list , it is the almighty Toyota 12HT !!!! In my opinion comes in a very close second behind the 6BT Cummins, I have 1 in a Landcruiser that has travelled over 750 000 km without a rebuild.
Miss my 17 f350 with the brute 6.7 but not the $800 a month truck payment. I sold it 2 1/2 years ago and took the leftover change after the bank payoff and hunted down an 07 ram 3500 5.9 with a six speed manual. I can tell she’s getting tired at 210k . When I had to replace my clutch my boss said, I bet you wish you could go back to a newer truck. I said nope. I’d rather spend a small portion of that kinda money making mine new again,better than new. Wish it wasn’t computer controlled. Wish I’d order an install a dam muffler to. Five inch straight pipe gets on my nerves and makes me miss that silent 17 ford.

1. 5.9 6BT 89-98 12v w/manuel Trans but was put on the worst body pick ever. 2. 7.3 power stroke put on the best body pick ever. 3. 5.9 24v again not a good body pick up. 4. 6.6 Duramax LBZ put on a good looking body pick up. After these you make your pick between the newer models on GM, Ram and Ford
The Ford 6.7 has problems,one is the CP4 pump that Ford needs to do away with.The CP4 blows up sending metal shavings in the fuel system which everything in the fuel system gets replaced.Ford has a class action lawsuit against them on this.The aftermarket has a kit to remove this pump and replace it with something else. The 1989 to 1998 5.9 Cummins,killer dowl pin and this is a real easy fix. Sell a kit to fix it and you can make it by making a plate with a hole in it for the inner timing cover bolt to secure it in
Original owner of a 2005 Cummins paired with the G56 6 speed and 456 rear end. Best truck I’ve had in my 62 years and I hope to be buried in it. (In 20 or 30 years)
All I'll say is, look at what 99 percent of the hotshot truckers use to pull loads day in / day out. Lets put our feelings aside, You know whats the best diesel pickup.
European diesels have some pretty sweet offerings, they just aren’t common enough in North America, nor are they regularly offered in passenger vehicles and pick ups. Duetz, Sisu, Scania, all have some pretty reliable offerings, but are mostly off road

Ford 7.3 diesel #1 1997 20 yrs no problems.
I would totally agree with you 100%
The only 2 you got correct were the 5.9 cummins and the 7.3 navistar. So where is the DT466? or is this only a light truck video.
The 6.7 Ford is only long lasting if you can get the military edition without SCR/DEF and EGR.
How many of these diesels are medium-duty diesels? Light-duty diesels are not typically rebuildable.
Why did they add a turbo to these monster engines? What size turbo were used?
Had a 24 valve in a05 ram 3500 sold it with over 300,000 and it is still running strong now I have a 5th gen 6.7 we will see if it makes it to the 300,000 mark like my old one
2009 Ram 3500 6.7 going on 480,000 miles using full synthetic oil changes, only had to rebuild transmission at 230,000 miles
I’ve owned 3 on that list and one of them twice. Started with a ‘98.5 24v Dodge, then a 2000 F250 with a 7.3 Then an ‘02 Duramax. The electronics and emissions on the newer trucks just disgusts me. Just swapped a 12v and 5 speed into a 2011 GMC. By far , my favorite truck. Ya, it’s a little loud, but I’ve got the great ride of a GM and a bulletproof driveline that will only quit if it runs out of fuel or oil!
Have a 97 w/5,9, in a 2500 dodge 2wd. Hard pull with a 6500 lb trailer gets 18.5 mpg where ever it travels, hills, flats, desert. Keep her down around 1800 with a 5 spd. Barely broke in as some would say. No modifications.......Why? Do not need to upset the apple cart as most will do. Will definitely out live me at 69yrs young...!
My 1999 5.9 Cummins is still running like top in my 2500 Dodge I don't think u can kill it that's why I keep driving like I stole it God bless America and Texas semper Fi 👍💯🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
I can vouch for the LLY, mine is currently 761,000 miles and going...
300k on my 24v. Always been a Cummins guy but that 7.3 should be number 2 at least.
7.3 #1
For me it's 5.9 Cummins ❤
I love my 6.9 IDI and I am happy it is not on your list.
Definitely 1 Diesel engine was left of this list , it is the almighty Toyota 12HT !!!! In my opinion comes in a very close second behind the 6BT Cummins, I have 1 in a Landcruiser that has travelled over 750 000 km without a rebuild.
my 5.9 422k it will outlast me.
Miss my 17 f350 with the brute 6.7 but not the $800 a month truck payment. I sold it 2 1/2 years ago and took the leftover change after the bank payoff and hunted down an 07 ram 3500 5.9 with a six speed manual. I can tell she’s getting tired at 210k . When I had to replace my clutch my boss said, I bet you wish you could go back to a newer truck. I said nope. I’d rather spend a small portion of that kinda money making mine new again,better than new. Wish it wasn’t computer controlled. Wish I’d order an install a dam muffler to. Five inch straight pipe gets on my nerves and makes me miss that silent 17 ford.
5.9 second gem Cummins is one of Bested from 1994 to 1998
And here I thought you re talking about truck engines like a 600 hp CAT or the 550 hp Cummins. I never considered pickup trucks.

Had a 99 first generation 24 valve racked up $250,000 me never had the valve cover off of it I miss it to this day bought it brand new
93 Cummins 4x4 5 speed manual with 565000km
I have owned for 16 years.
It’s such a part of the family my wife won’t let me sell it!
1. 5.9 6BT 89-98 12v w/manuel Trans but was put on the worst body pick ever.
2. 7.3 power stroke put on the best body pick ever.
3. 5.9 24v again not a good body pick up.
4. 6.6 Duramax LBZ put on a good looking body pick up.
After these you make your pick between the newer models on GM, Ram and Ford
I like engines i don't have to pull the cab on to work on.
Isn’t it pull the cab or pull the engine for many things? My mechanic said he would rather pull the cab……
Cummins makes a great motor but the shipping crate it rides in is not so good
And the 5.9 was the smallest diesel they put in a truck! Except the 5.7 chevy and nobody even counts that one!
The Ford 6.7 has problems,one is the CP4 pump that Ford needs to do away with.The CP4 blows up sending metal shavings in the fuel system which everything in the fuel system gets replaced.Ford has a class action lawsuit against them on this.The aftermarket has a kit to remove this pump and replace it with something else. The 1989 to 1998 5.9 Cummins,killer dowl pin and this is a real easy fix. Sell a kit to fix it and you can make it by making a plate with a hole in it for the inner timing cover bolt to secure it in
Heavy weight boxer/ballet dancer THE SPINKS BROTHERS!!!!
Perkins 6.354
Can't beat a lb7 duramax
Turbo Diesel! Ford! Glenn
Original owner of a 2005 Cummins paired with the G56 6 speed and 456 rear end. Best truck I’ve had in my 62 years and I hope to be buried in it. (In 20 or 30 years)
6.7 is only reliable with deletes. Without deletes, they're boat anchors.
All I'll say is, look at what 99 percent of the hotshot truckers use to pull loads day in / day out. Lets put our feelings aside, You know whats the best diesel pickup.
Yes!!!
Three letters what are killing diesel engines- EGR
I’ll take a 5.9 12v any day.
Scania V8, Mercedes OM617...
isuzu 4jj 🇹🇭👍
The Duramax with a CP3 conversion deleted is the way to go
6.7 ford/no, 5.9 cummins/12valve, yes........7.3 best on this list......
Not my cummins 😂😂😂😂
Well, you got 3 out of the 5 correct...
Never heard of a Furd 6.7 being reliable,,, needs 20 yrs to determine that…..
Nothing from Mercedes or Volvo on the list?
The only thing that lasts for ever is TAXES !
Any of the new diesels are only one time use. Unless you have deeper pockets and less brains for the everyday man
This guy got creative with his words the 6.7 ford is a piece of garbage the latest versions don't last past 200,000 MI
😂
7,3 panther transportation with 90000000
Nowadays, diesel trucks are not reliable.It cost so much to maintain and repair.
I like the Mercedes diesel engines too.
European diesels have some pretty sweet offerings, they just aren’t common enough in North America, nor are they regularly offered in passenger vehicles and pick ups. Duetz, Sisu, Scania, all have some pretty reliable offerings, but are mostly off road
@@brianschryver8314 the Japanese makers produce great diesels as well, like the Toyota Hilux diesels 300 k miles not uncommon.
Come on braghung on an engine that breaks 300,000 mi for a diesel. The 6.7 Cummins doesn't even compare to the 7.3 powerstroke.
