Dodge W350 Parts & Accessories

The Dodge W350 is the one-ton four-wheel-drive pickup that replaced the W300 in Dodge's truck lineup beginning in 1981, bridging the gap between classic W-Series architecture and the modern Ram series that would follow. Builders and restorers who shop for W350 parts include diesel enthusiasts targeting the 5.9L Cummins diesel introduced in 1989, off-road builders exploiting the platform's heavy-duty Dana 60 and Dana 70 axle combination, and daily-driver owners keeping high-mileage examples reliable. The W350 was the last generation of the traditional Dodge heavy-duty four-wheel-drive before the Ram nameplate took over fully, and it shares much of its drivetrain and suspension architecture with the D350 two-wheel-drive. The introduction of the 5.9L Cummins diesel 12-valve in 1989 is the defining upgrade milestone for this platform, creating a cult following that has driven strong demand for both OEM replacement and aftermarket performance parts.

Popular Upgrades

Popular upgrades for the Dodge W350 include Banks Power exhaust and intercooler upgrades for the 5.9L Cummins diesel, Moog front end rebuild kits for the Dana 60 steering components, Bilstein 5100 series shocks for improved suspension performance, MagnaFlow cat-back exhaust for gas-engine W350 trims, K&N cold air intake systems for both the Cummins and the 5.9L Magnum V8, and ARB differential lockers for the Dana 60 front and Dana 70 rear. Rancho RS9000XL adjustable shocks are also popular for owners who want a tunable ride on both pavement and trail.

Performance and Handling

The W350 responds well to a front end rebuild addressing worn Dana 60 tie rod ends, ball joints, and steering box components that cause looseness on high-mileage examples. A complete leaf spring replacement from Deaver or National Spring restores proper load capacity and ride height on trucks that have carried heavy payloads. Buyers who own a 1989 to 1993 W350 Cummins should note that an AFC plate and fuel pin modification on the Bosch P7100 injection pump is a popular, low-cost performance upgrade that can add noticeable horsepower and throttle response.

What years did the Dodge W350 come with the Cummins diesel?

The Dodge W350 was offered with the first-generation 5.9L Cummins 12-valve diesel engine from 1989 through 1993, making these model years the most sought-after in the W350 lineup for diesel enthusiasts. The 1989 to 1993 Cummins 6BT uses a Bosch P7100 injection pump that is highly regarded for its upgrade potential, and parts including injectors, lift pumps, and pump timing upgrades are widely available. Buyers should confirm whether their truck is equipped with a manual or automatic transmission, as the NV4500 five-speed manual and A518 automatic have different upgrade paths.

Are there compatible cold air intake kits for the Dodge W350 Cummins?

Yes, K&N and Banks Power both offer cold air intake kits that are compatible with the 5.9L Cummins diesel in the Dodge W350, with the Banks Ram-Air intake being one of the most popular upgrades for improved turbo spool and airflow. These kits are designed for bolt-on installation using the factory airbox location with no cutting or fabrication required on most applications. Confirm the model year and engine configuration on the product compatibility chart before ordering to ensure proper fitment on your specific W350 build.
