Hi All: I have about 103,000 miles on my 5.9 cummins engine. I did install a new lift pump in the fuel tank. The old one failed and was located on the block. Aside from that I have not done any work on the engine except install new fuel filter and change oil as suggested in the dodge operator book. Question is what should I be doing to keep the engine running? Currently it is running fine. The guys at the Dodge dealership do not really have any suggestions for me. Thanks for you comments.

Buy the best quality smallest micron fuel filter you van find. Your injectors will thank you.
Use Fleetguard oil filters stratapore. Geno's Garage is a great place to buy Mopar Cummins/Fleetguard products.
Use quality 15/40 oil. Change "ALL" the transmission fluid and filter and adjust both bands at every 30k or so.
