Generations of Cummins Engines We Service

5.9L 12-Valve Cummins (1989–1998)

Known for: Legendary mechanical simplicity and durability
These early Cummins engines are known for their bulletproof design. We provide maintenance and mechanical repairs on older trucks, including fuel system work, timing, and cooling system upgrades. While these engines are aging, many are still on the road and worth preserving with the right care.

5.9L 24-Valve Cummins (1998.5–2007)

Known for: More power and the introduction of electronic controls This generation offered better performance and drivability but introduced issues like lift pump failures, VP44 injection pump problems, and injector wear. We diagnose and repair both mechanical and electronic issues while helping prevent premature fuel system failure.

6.7L Cummins (2007.5–Present)

Known for: Advanced emissions systems, towing capacity, and torque
Still in production today, the 6.7L is used in Ram 2500/3500 trucks and offers improved emissions compliance and horsepower. We service EGR/DPF/DEF systems, diagnose turbo and injector problems, and maintain high-pressure fuel systems. These engines are powerful but require the right tools and know-how to service properly — and we have both.
