The Cummins 5.9/12Valve that we put in my brothers 7020 had the "VE" pump on it. With the high idle at 2500 RPM, pulled down to 2300 rated speed for the 7020 chassis, we had 135 HP. Perfect. When I pulled it on down to 2000 RPM, I got 180 HP !!! Tremendous torque build up !! A really nice 450 bushel corn hauler in 6th gear PST any hill we have and no need to ever downshift. |
Thanks DrAllis for sharing about your brother's 7020 recent 5.9 upgrade features/figures. Also enjoyed watching your progress thru it's engine swap. Yes, the 5.9 cummins is a remarkable workhorse. Not to bash the AC 301 or 426, but IMO the 5.9 cummins in the AC 7010-8070 units should have comparable torque at improved fuel efficency. I realize the AC 4.9 301 is not an exact comparison to the 5.9 cummins. And the AC engines are 28-40 years older. You mention your brothers 5.9 7020" improved torque, but what have you noticed of it's fuel economy versus the AC 4.9 301?
Here is a conglomeration of specs that I found online per some independent websites. A few sites listed Dodge Ram's hp/torque specs versus years, pumps,
turbos, etc... Other site's listing is more generic (cylinder bore/piston skirt diameter, bolt torques, etc..).
