Okay-Can anyone tell me the year models of Dodge Diesels that can use WVO? I've heard 1990-96, but how about later models like 98 or 99? Thanks for your help

dodge diesel
You can run WVO in any diesel. There is no conversion. When it is properly converted into bio diesel it actually is better than fossil fuel diesel. I have a 07' ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins. I make my own biodiesel out of WVO and it runs better! 62 cents a gallon! This is a no brainer!
What system?
Hi, What system do u use to convert WVO to burnable fuel? I don't own a diesel but am looking for an alternative for heating oil in New York..Thanks..TFC...
Early dodge diesels are
Early dodge diesels are great to convert due to the Injection pump P100 in years 1990- 1998 however in 1998.5 the injection pump was changed to VP44. This was a sad day for dodge! It is NOT recommended to use 1998.5 - 2002 dodge 24v Cummins. VP44 is a very temperamental pump and any lose of pressure can cause failure (stator rubs into housing). Some have successfully converted these IPs however it is not a good idea unless you have $$$$ for replacement VP44 IPs.
I have a 1996 with P100 pump works GREAT
2001 Dodge Ram 2500
Urgh! I just bought it. I guess I should have done my research. Is there any hope for me. I use this truck for my remodeling company and wanted to advertise that we do run WVO in our work vehicles. Thanks for anybodies help!
Wrong!
Earlier-'93 Dodge Cummins 12V used the VE rotary IPp (similar to VW) and '94-up to the VP44 used a P7100 inline IP...
1998 Dodge
Can you change the VP44 out with a P-7100 on a truck that does not have the P-7100
VP44 conversion to P-7100
Yes you can, but it is very exspensive. Look on diesel hot rod sites, some have kits for conversion. The high HP guys do this.
Pump change
Just add a lift pump so as to not work the stock pump so hard. This helps even on diesel.
