Auto and truck engines from American, domestic (even Canadian) plants, have a solid reputation for durability, robust performance and consistent power delivery. The quality engineering and precision manufactured pickup truck engines are no exception.

Many of our top-line Dodge Ram 3500 Pickup rebuilt engines and remanufactured long blocks have lots to offer proud truck owners and engine enthusiasts. High-performance upgrade with that little extra horses and torque under-hood is just what these heavy-duty workhorses need and the power plants deliver!

Take for example the well-known, beloved Mopar Dodge Ram V8, 5.9 L, 360 CID Magnum engine (94-97) with roller cam, block #006, head #671, 044, crank #640, 169. The oil filter plate has 6 holes, with bolt down rockers for a solid and snug fit, minimizing noise and vibration. 1994-2001 Dodge Ram Pickup truck engines are high in demand and ample supply in the engine parts and aftermarket.

The full-sized, bold design and power-hungry truck demands that best that the market has to offer. It could quite easily be equipped with a V10 engine, developing 300 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque! Initially, the Dodge Ram 3500 pickup sold only with a regular-cab body, a short or long cargo box, 2- or 4-wheel drive, in three series: 1500 (1/2-ton), 2500 (3/4-ton), and 3500 (one-ton), the latter with dual rear wheels.

The first generation of these trucks has a couple of engine choices: V6, three V8s, and a turbo-diesel inline six Mopar engine. The 1997 models for example had a 5.9-liter V8 with engine improvements that have it shifting from 230 to 235 horsepower!
