12v?

12v?
This is going to sound crazy, but I have a 1998 with the rear open doors. There is nothing on the engine or in the owners manual saying whether it is a 12 or 24V motor. Is there a way to tell? (Sorry, it is my first cummins...)

If it just says Cummins Turbo Diesel then the trim, at least, is for a 12 valve. If the oil fill tube stands alone it is a 12 valve. 24 valve has a larger piece of trim over the valve covers with the oil fill tube through the cover. You can go on Ebay, search for 1998 dodge diesel and look at the difference in the engine compartments. There are both 12 and 24 valve motored units listed today.

Yeah, sounds like it's the good one. Funny how rare people say they are-I turned a 5 spd 4wd '98 12v dually down to buy my '98 12v 5 spd 2wd dually. Both were quadcabs. Since then, I've seen several others.
