Isn't this 5.0 the first from Cummins on this line of size? Both Cummins and Nissan said so when they first introduced this engine.

The engine was originally developed for Nissan AND Dodge as a joint venture. Dodge (or Ram rather) bowed out when the economy tanked in 2008ish. Cummins originally developed the ISV motor (5.0) as a commercial motor that could go in RVs, medium duty trucks, etc., and the 5.0 Nissan version. They are nearly identical, although the ISV does not have the turbo configuration found on this engine and is rated slightly lower power wise. You can in fact buy an ISV straight from the factory if you want to as a commercial engine.

Did you go with the Frame mount or under the hood? Trying to figure out whose piggy bank I will need to raid to get one!
Gonna have a chat with local dealership svc manager & diesel tech, and see if they can not only do it, but get an "OK" from the mothership in writing. I don't want ANY risk or warranty crap down the line, especially with the 5.0 being discontinued.

Thanks for the info!

Here is mine mounted on the frame.
