As others have said, that's a rotary pump, and 90 and later were intercooled
so you can bump it up a bit.
BUT
the getrag five speed manual is the greatest concern in that truck. Do not even
think about loads and fifth gear (it is very weak), so because of this you
will probably not want a truck
sucks, with a full
size truck its easy peasy. I suspect a '91 would get pretty good fuel mileage
too.

For dodge manuals:
88-93 five speed was a getrag. Fine until something happens, then really
expensive. Towing in fifth or lugging in fifth makes this happen a LOT sooner.
94-02 five speed (standard output 24 valves got the five speed not the six) was
an NV4500. Also had problems with fifth gear
NV4500. Also had problems with fifth gear falling off, but a far
stronger
and more serviceable transmission. Jim might have some comments about
the
repair, I think his had fifth gear fall off on them.
Mine was falling off when I got it fixed under warrantee. Lugging
in fifth is/was a

91 Dodge, 5 speed manual. Needs an IP. Asking $1500. How
expensive/hard is it to mess with a IP on one of these? Worth that much
money with a bad pump? Rest of truck supposedly good.

If it's a B series engine (and it probably is) it's got a rotary pump on it,
probably a Bosch VE that's gear driven off the timing gear.

If you can get the 94-up timing cover and other parts, I've got a factory

I don't think it's hard to replace, but tends to be expensive.
I know that 10 years later it's something
Maybe less at the Bosch place here

So is it the rotary or online pump. Are you saying if you swap the 94
up timing cover etc you can install the newer pump? Does this give more
power or anything like that?

My VE pump off the Volvo was $750 ten years ago, figure inflation and
price increases. It was pretty fried, you might get by cheaper.
If it's a no start problem, the shutoff solenoid is known to
fracture, leaving the valve closed while the armature pulls up and
clicks Very quiet click,

89-93 was rotary. 94-98 was P7100 inline. 98 1/2 went to something else.

What were those older cummins HP wise, seems Im thinking they were only
like 160hp or so. Im guess there are ways to turn that up. Thing I

If it's non intercooled, 160 stock sounds about
18 matches
