The '94-'98 Cummins 5.9L engine has been the mainstay of diesel power in Dodge trucks, and has a reputation as an excellent performer with the ability to make some serious horsepower. One of this ...

Picture an old windup desk clock. Now cross it with a gasoline engine, adding a tiny crankshaft and pistons. Tack on a few Buck Rogers bits, so it looks like Rube Goldberg's toaster. Flow gasoline ...

The second generation of 5.9L Cummins engine from 1994 to 1998 is one of the most desirable diesel engines – largely used in Dodge Rams — due to their power and durability. This is in part due to the ...

We can't tell you if this applies to your car. Failure of the fuel tank sender pump would simply mean that no fuel was coming through to the engine compartment to be pumped into the engine. I guess if ...
