1996 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L I6 Cummins Turbo Diesel Auto Walk Around

I can promise you it was something else you replaced, it's a fact that every year of Cummins motor put in a dodge ram truck, or even the 3.9 4BT Cummins in bread/postal trucks have NEVER had glow plugs, it's not how they work. must be mistaken. the only thing they have in the head are valves, injectors, and a heater grid under the "Intake elbow". Very simple set up, it's why they last so long. less parts,less things moving, less things to go wrong and fail/break.

That touch screen deck is awesome, I had no idea cummins had no glow plugs, interesting.

@Farout397 they do... wtf?

@deanschool Actually, they don't have glow plugs ... but they do have a grid heater, which heats the air when certain parameters are met. I think Powerstroke's have glow plugs though.

@dirtbikemechanic im pretty sure i just replaced glow plugs in my 2006 5.9....

[dirtbikemechanic]

@deanschool Maybe you just had to replace the grid heater? Because I'm perty sure that they don't have glow plugs. I'm not a diesel mechanic though, so I could be wrong.

@deanschool You probably replaced your spark plugs in your 5.9 360 V8 lol

[deanschool]

@erk409 5.9 cummins...

[erk409]

@deanschool Dude, what you replaced was not a glow plug....

[casualty178]

@erk409 @erk409 lol right...idk how anyone thinks these Cummins motors have glow plugs...take a valve cover off and look around on a 24V you'll see valves& injectors...on a 12v you'll see valves...haha no wires going anywhere, and deff no glow plugs of any sort!
