I think the names your refereing to are for some of the aftermarket turbo's that are available for the 5. 9, not for the engine alone. Click here

The B is just cummins series letter the B is 5. 9 L the C series is 8. 3l the L series is 10 L the M series is 11 L the N series is 14 L. The Killer B and Super B are just fun cummins logos for hats and t-shirts that refer to the 5. 9 L.



The L series had been replaced with the M series. The new series all start with the letters IS, ISB,ISC,ISM,AND ISX.



The new B HPCR stands for High pressure common rail which refers to the new fuel system.



Hope this helps.

There are some official names for engines that Cummins does use.



Some names for the B Series are: Encore, Echo, etc.

IS = Inline Six?

I met a cummins nut the other day, he's my bro-in-law's neighbor. He kept calling it a "250 Cummins". I had never heard it called that before.

Interact System...

Interact: Full Authority Means More Control



With the Cummins Interact™ System, fully integrated electronics are designed into the engine. The ECM coordinates the engine, accessories, ABS brakes, transmission and more to deliver the best possible performance, with the best possible fuel economy. The Interact System also includes advanced prognostics and diagnostics, with industry-standard datalinks for uploading and downloading of trip information and reconfiguring parameters. You'll find the Interact System on Cummins ISX, ISM, ISL, ISC and ISB engines. Earlier engines (N14 and M11) are equipped with CELECT™ Plus. Its programmable ECM also lets you set engine parameters to perfectly match vehicle specs and environmental conditions.

Perhaps the Cummins is good enough that it doesn't need a nick name like the other pick up powered diesels .

ISB = Inline Six Banger :-laf

I've seen the P-Pumped 12v referred to as the Killer B often.



Seems since the P-pump'd 12V was a true "B" Series, it takes to that nickname easily. The newer Cummins B-Series aren't just B-Series anymore. We have ISB, and ISB-e now...





Is there a nickname we can give the ISB-e ? (The "e" stands for Echo because fo the low dB of the engine)



Silent B?

Honey B?

Wanta B?

Super B?



Help me out here...

He was probably reffering to the 8. 3L that used to be installed in M-Series and other commerical applications. The "250" was the horsepower rating.

Makes sense. Although he was talking about the 5. 9 in Dodge pickups specifically. He has a bombed '96 and seems to know a lot more about these engines than I do... maybe just not what to call them.
