I believe that was the IDI GM engine with the electronics rated below underhood temps. What year is the Cummins engine? If it has 12 valves and an inline pump that looks like it fell off a MBZ, you're good to go, I can't think of a better MH engine. If it has a Bosch rotary pump, let me know when it fails, I've got a rebuilt Dodge/Cummins/Bosch inline pump around here somewhere.
