Today we're tearing down a 5.9 Cummins. Arguably one of the best full size Diesel engines produced. This is a 04.5-07 5.9 high output from a Dodge Ram 2500. This particular engine is a core, and completely locked up. I don't get a ton of cummins engines in as cores because most people keep them and don't return their old engine when they buy one used. I have lots of engines to teardown but due to the value and low stock of their parts, I always tear these engines down as soon as they come in. We tear down this 5.9 to figure out why it won't turn, what parts survived and possibly what led to its demise. 

Why on earth am I doing these teardowns? I own and run a full service auto salvage business in the Saint Louis area called Importapart. Part of our model is buying blown, core and unwanted engines and dismantling them to resell the good, usable parts. We do not rebuild engines, we merely supply parts to those who do. 

I really hope you enjoyed this teardown. As always, I love all of the comments, feedback, and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
