Industrial Injection 89-93 Dodge 12V Mahle Piston .020 Oversized Coated Tops / Skirts

These Mahle pistons from Industrial Injection are .020 inches oversized and feature coated tops and skirts, a detail that matters for long-term engine health. They are built specifically for the 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with the 12-valve Cummins engine. When you're rebuilding the heart of your truck, choosing the right pistons is crucial for performance and reliability, especially in these robust diesel engines.

The coating on the piston tops helps manage heat, which is a significant factor in diesel combustion. The skirt coating reduces friction as the piston moves within the cylinder bore. This combination can lead to improved efficiency and a longer lifespan for your engine components. Mahle is a well-known name in piston manufacturing, and Industrial Injection has selected these for their ability to stand up to the demands of a heavy-duty diesel application. Because these are oversized, they are intended for engines that have had their cylinders bored out to match the new piston size, typically during a rebuild where wear has occurred.

This set includes all the pistons needed for your 12-valve Cummins engine. Remember that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. If you're undertaking a comprehensive engine overhaul, ensure your cylinder bores are properly machined to the .020 inch oversize specification before installation.
