The 5.9L 6-cyl Ram: common questions

Which Ram years have the 5.9L 6-cyl?

1994–2007, without a break — 14 model years in our VIN decode, across 179 factory configurations and 49,114 VINs.

What does a 5.9L 6-cyl Ram cost?

$19,349 is the typical asking price across the 808 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.

Is the 5.9L 6-cyl turbocharged?

Yes — every configuration in this family decodes as turbocharged.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

24 Valve Turbo — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
