What is the main benefit of the silicon content in these Clevite bearings?

The higher silicon content, 60% more than comparable replacements, helps to condition the crankshaft journal surfaces. This leads to improved seizure resistance and better overall wear resistance for the engine.

Are these bearings a direct replacement for my stock connecting rod bearings?

Yes, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are designed as a direct replacement for the specified Dodge and Ram trucks. They fit right into the connecting rod and work with the crankshaft journals.

What does 'bi-metal' mean in the context of these bearings?

Bi-metal bearings have two distinct layers of material. In this case, it's an aluminum silicon alloy bonded to a steel backing. This construction provides a strong foundation with a smooth, durable running surface.

About this part

Product Details

If you're working on the engine of your 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500, or the 2011-2013 Ram 2500 or 3500, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are a solid choice. These bearings are a critical part of your engine's rotating assembly, sitting between the connecting rod and the crankshaft to allow smooth rotation while handling immense forces.

Clevite builds these bearings using a bi-metal aluminum silicon construction. They pack 60% more silicon into the material compared to many other replacement bearings. This extra silicon helps to condition the crankshaft journal surfaces as they spin, which in turn improves resistance to seizure and general wear. This means they can handle the demands of your Cummins diesel engine for longer.
