The 12v Cummins quickly became a popular alternative to Dodge's V-8 gas engines, as the diesel generated nearly double the torque at low engine speeds and provided a significant increase in fuel economy, especially loaded down. The 12v Cummins, or 6BT, received an intercooler and the P1700 injection pump replaced the VE for the model year. The Cummins 12 Valve is arguably the most popular Cummins produced to date amongst Dodge Ram owners. Where it was eventually phased out in favor or a more emissions friendly 24 valve version, the 5.9L ISB. The 6BT has been used in a variety of applications, including light and medium duty trucks, agricultural equipment, and construction machinery.
