The Cummins B Series is a family of American straight-four and straight-6 diesel piston engines that are manufactured by Cummins. This particular family, or Series, is one of the most prolific offerings for On-Highway, Automotive purposes from Cummins, and is widely used for the Off-Highway Markets it serves such as Construction, Mining, Agriculture, Marine and Industrial sectors to name a few.
The B Series is known for the popular 3.9 liters (238.0 cu in) two B Series Cummins engines. The engine was originally designed by Cummins and Case Corporation for commercial truck applications, and gained much of its popularity after appearing in the Dodge Ram, in 1989.
The B-series features engine bores machined directly into the block (rather than the wet liners used on earlier Cummins engines). It was also set apart by the use of a shallow one-piece head, requiring closer tolerances than in other Cummins products. The engine was first manufactured in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and other plants were later added in Mexico, Turkey, and Darlington, UK.
Every Cummins powered Dodge Pickup (since initial production in 1989) has come equipped with a turbocharger. It uses a gear-drive camshaft for extra reliability. Also specified is a deep-skirt engine block and extra-strong connecting rods. A Holset turbocharger is used. The original B Series was updated with 24 valves and an electronic engine management system to become the ISB in 1998.
