My friends dad had an 70 something Dodge 3/4 ton with straight 6 Cummins diesel that he used for his landscaping business. He ran that thing for heaven knows how many miles. When the fuel filter went bad his dad just ran it without one. Sold it after many miles of use and the new owner ran that thing till it was a bucket of rust but the engine was still freakin good.
He was truly a man before his time.... (Since Dodge didn't put the first Cummins engine in a pickup until 1989.)
As usual, the BS replies in the entire thread have not a thing to do with what the OP asked.
Wrong on your part as '79 they had Diesel engines! 243 cu in (3,988 cc) 6DR5 I6 Diesel
Nothing I said was wrong. Not at all.
I guess we could go back and forth, but there is really no need since that 78 Dodge had a Mitsubishi diesel engine in it, and
you stated that the 70's Dodge 3/4 ton had a straight 6 Cummins.
How about you show us anything that shows a Cummins in a Dodge before '89?
