"V12 Engine
The 5.9-liter engine is a 12-cylinder, in-line six engine. It is 359 cubic inches with a 17.0 to 1 compression ratio. The bore of the engine is 4.02 inches and the stroke is 4.72 inches. The engine has two different direct injection systems depending on what year the engine was built. In engines built between 1989 and 1993, a Bosche VE injection pump was used. A Bosche P7100 injection pump was used for the 1994 to 1998 engines. In the middle of 1991, an intercooler was added to the engine. Overhead valves with two cylinders per head and a solid lifter camshaft make up the Valvetrain of the engine. This Cummins engine is turbocharged rather than naturally aspirated. Because of differing engine parts, such as the injector pump. and differing applications, such as agricultural engines verses light-duty truck engines, horsepower and torque specs vary. The horsepower of this engine ranges from 160 to 215 at 2,500 rpm. This engine pushes between 400 and 440 ft.-lb. of torque at 1,600 rpm. The 5.9-liter, V12 Cummins is governed at 2,700 rpm.

V24 Engine
There is also a 5.9-liter engine that is a 24-cylinder, in-line six engine. It is 359 cubic inches with a 16.3 to 1 compression ratio. There is also a high-output compression ratio of 17.2 to 1. The bore of the engine is 4.02 inches and the stroke is 4.72 inches. From 1998 to 2002, a Bosch VP44 injection pump was used. A high-pressure Bosche common rail injection system was used from 2003 to 2007. Overhead valves with four cylinders per head and a solid lifter camshaft comprise the Valvetrain. This Cummins engine is also turbocharged.The horsepower of this engine ranges from 235 to 325 at 2,900 rpm. This engine pushes between 460 and 610 ft.-lb. of torque at 1,600 rpm. The 5.9-liter, V24 Cummins is governed at 3,200 rpm."

Seems like they're getting a couple things confused lol, just thought i'd share.
