Diesel Ram Buyer's Guide: The Cummins Catalogue So you’re in the market for a used diesel pickup and it’s gotta be a Cummins. We understand. Even if you’re a Bow Tie or Blue Oval loyalist, the fact that Ram trucks house the legendary Cummins inline-six engine under the hood makes giving them a look virtually inescapable. That’s why whether you’re searching for your first vehicle, first diesel, a certain sought after model, or you’re on the hunt for a slightly used workhorse with a friendly price tag, we’ve put together an all-inclusive Cummins-powered Ram guide for you. Look for the good, the bad, and the ugly in our Pros and Cons list, as well as what we consider to be the pinnacle year(s) to own each generation of Cummins-powered Dodge trucks. 1989-1993 D250, D350, W250, W350 While most ’89-’93 Dodges (affectionately known as first-gens) have been killed off due to rust, transmission failures, and old age, you can still find clean versions out West or in the South. Keep in mind that even if you’re looking for a fixer-upper, the 5.9L Cummins alone warrants at least a $500 to $1,000 price tag.

These trucks are the least refined, bare-bones models offered and were based off of the ’72-’93 body style that nearly went extinct. But, they’re extremely simple, reliable, and can knock down some killer fuel economy.
