2004 Dakota tach question

From : lee y

Q: 1.- what years were the 12 valve diesel produced. 89 to the first half of 98. 94 started the new body style. 2.- other than the engine noise what are the good and or bad of the 12 valve verses the 24 valve 12v tends to get a little better mileage and is a little less tolerant of cold-weather starts. the 12v can be considered a little more reliable because of the lack of electronics. in stock form the 24v puts out more power but the 12v can be easily tuned to make as much or more power. the 12v engines have a potential problem with a dowel pin causing engine damage... early 24vs and a handful of late 12v engines have a potential problem with the block cracking at a water jacket. the dowel pin is easily fixed... the bad block casting well... not much you can do about that. 3.- were they all turbo yes. .
