But, is the 6. At the heart of the system sits a Bosch CP3 injection pump, which is responsible for creating in excess of 23, psi of fuel pressure and then maintaining that pressure. However, the common-rail system aboard the 6. Because the 6. While the injectors used in both the 5. Unlike the 5. For the sake of a stock vs. However, its fixed geometry design means there is no getting around turbo lag at low rpm.
Good responsiveness at any engine speed is a good way to describe what variable geometry turbochargers provide, and the Holset HEVE on the 6. By varying the exhaust flow across the turbine wheel via the nozzles , the turbo can perform like a smaller unit at lower engine speed to aid responsiveness and then act like a much bigger turbo at higher rpm.
While the HEVE sounds like the best of both worlds, it does have some reliability issues. This turbo unit varies the exhaust flow at the turbine wheel, so it can still function as a smaller turbo unit even at lower RPMs. This can save the stock brakes and help mitigate some of the wear and tear that comes with the larger engine. The overall power and torque that comes from the 6. With up to hp and lb-ft of torque, this is a beast of an engine.
Its responsive turbo and high-pressure injection make it a must for any heavy-duty truck driver. Figure 5: Although the 5. Source: USEngineProduction. The 5. At hp and lp-ft of torque, it has enough strength for almost any job that you can throw at it, while maintaining the reliability that the best Cummins engines are known for.
The turbo unit on the Cummins 5. However, the fixed unit is much more reliable and has fewer moving parts, which is exactly what the best Cummins engine should be focused on.
This, combined with a lower pressure injector means that you will be less likely to blow a head gasket with heavy use. If you are looking for an engine that will be as reliable and durable as it can possibly be, this could be a fantastic option. Sources: USEngineProduction. Figure 6: The 5. The Cummins 5. It utilizes a compacted graphite iron block for a durable construction that is still light enough for smaller applications.
If you want an engine that will be less susceptible to noise and vibrations, it could be a great option. The turbocharger in the 5. It uses high injection pressure to give the most precise control of the in-cylinder combustion.
With a standard exhaust brake to help stopping, this truck can handle a 5, lb payload or a 17, lb trailer. While brand new engines — including the modern version of the 6. As an added bonus, the simplicity of the system makes it relatively easy to modify yourself for even greater performance numbers. Factoring in that this is the youngest model on the list, no other great used diesel truck comes close to the same degree of interior technology and conveniences alongside the sheer capability of the Cummins engine.
Its Bosch common-rail injection system and 6-speed automatic transmission a manual is available, too combine to form one of the most reliable powertrains on the market. The Duramax LBZ fits in a niche period where the Allison transmission was new, emissions systems and their associated problems were not required and neither Cummins nor Power Stroke could deliver hp or lb-ft of torque.
GM had solved the problems inherent to previous models and produced a highly-tunable diesel engine that still runs well today. Ride quality is good for the era thanks to an independent front suspension, a bonus which helps justify the relatively high price these trucks still fetch on the open market. Improved ride quality and all the luxuries the era had to offer made these trucks reasonable commuter cars too.
Power — The burning air-fuel mixture pushes the piston down. Which drives the crankshaft, sending power to the wheels. Exhaust — The waste gas expels through an exhaust valve on the upper left of the diesel engine. Which replaces the exhaust gases by pushing them through exhaust valves.
Also, producing up to lbs of torque. Third-Generation 6. The 6. It has a towing capacity of up to 35,lbs. New to the 6.
The combination brings a huge increase to performance and efficiency. Even though the 6. The combination of the 6. The 5. Diesel enthusiasts driving in the era of the 5. They could increase horsepower to over hp with ease.
The 3. Ford 3. The highest-rated overall best diesel engine available in is the 7. It comes standard on all Ford Super Duty pickup trucks. In turn, increasing diesel engine performance. Diesel Engine Design — Diesel engines have larger crankshafts and camshafts. Allowing better oil flow which promotes engine lubrication. Properties of Diesel Fuel — Diesel is a distillate fuel made from crude oil and extends engine life. Diesel fuel burns at a much leaner air to fuel ratio.
The combustion produces exhaust gases that help with lubrication. Diesel engines run at a lower RPM than gasoline engines. But, they produce more horsepower and torque. They operate at lower speeds to achieve higher performance.
