1996 Turbo Cummins Diesel

I am new to the cummins diesel family and have lots of questions: I am buying a 1996 Tubo Cummins Diesel 2500 club cab - is the engine a 5.9L and a 12v?

I love mine even though it isn't in the best cosmetic shape and could use some work. I'm flat out loving the drive train,it's like wrenching on my old Pontiac only it is cheaper to make more Power!!

I agree with the other guys. I put more miles on my 96 than I do on my 99 now. Get the KDP done and you should be good to go for a long time.
Mine's at 217K now, and runs like new.

Check out dodgeram.org. Has some very good technical information and some bombing suggestions. Good luck. I'm loving every minute of my 95.
