6BT Cummins (5.9L) Engines and Long Blocks

Replacement 6BT Cummins Engines For Sale

The 6BT Cummins Engine, more commonly known as the 5.9 Cummins engine or the 5.9L Cummins Long Block Engine, is one of the most popular light to medium-duty truck engines ever made. The 6BT Cummins engine was first manufactured in 1988 and was launched with the 1989 Dodge Ram. Chrysler introduced its Ram pickup trucks in 1981 but faced stiff competition from GM and Ford. Their original Chrysler LA and later Magnum engines simply weren’t cutting it. They needed a heavy-duty engine that could compete and the 6BT Cummins outperformed its rivals in virtually every meaningful category.

In 1985, Chrysler signed the deal of a lifetime with Cummins, and the engine manufacturer even helped the automaker integrate the 6BT into its trucks. In time, the Dodge Ram ended up being one of the most successful trucks of all time, and much of that was due to the performance and reliability of the 5.9 Cummins engine. The Cummins 5.9 / Cummins 6BT is one of the highest-produced 6-liter or smaller engines of all time on record, and it is still manufactured in 6 different countries today. The simple, mechanical 12-valve design has made the 6BT / 5.9L Cummins one of the most reliable diesel engines ever produced.

The 6BT Cummins Engine (5.9 L) is used both in light-duty trucks as well as numerous industrial applications. Popular industrial applications include: Step Vans, Delivery Trucks, School Busses, Small Dump Trucks, Generators, Motor Homes, Utility Trucks, Backhoes, Loaders, Dozers, Motor Graders, Forklifts, Man Lifts, Water Pumps, Irrigation Pumps, Drainage Pumps, and Marine Applications.

Cummins 6BT Long Block Engines:

Our 6BT long block engines are an excellent choice for the customer with an existing Cummins 5.9L / 6BT Cummins engine that is in need of an overhaul but that can’t be repaired. Usually, if the engine threw a rod through the block, piston damaged the head, dropped a valve or spun a bearing it is more cost-effective to replace the engine.

The good news is that the ancillary parts of the engine such as the water pump, oil pump, turbo, injectors, flywheel, flywheel housing, starter, fuel lines, oil cooler, intercooler, oil filter, oil filter adapter, intake and exhaust manifolds, clutch and all of your brackets and pulleys can easily be swapped over to complete your Cummins long block engine. It is more cost-effective to retain perfectly good parts and replace the internal parts of the engine. Our long blocks feature fresh castings, not used or remanufactured, and are completely new. They are built with ISO 9001 new parts and are built to exact OEM tolerances and clearances. In accordance with rebuilding/remanufacturing guidelines component builds do contain some reman parts depending on the build cycle which usually limited to aftercoolers, shut-off valves, rocker assemblies, pumps or sheet metal.
