Industrial Injection 98.5-02 Dodge 24V Mahle Piston .020 Oversized Coated Tops / Skirts

When you're rebuilding the engine in your 1998-2002 Dodge 24-valve Ram 2500 or 3500, getting the right pistons is crucial for long-term reliability and performance. This set from Industrial Injection features Mahle pistons that are .020 inches oversized, designed to replace worn or damaged original equipment pistons. The coated tops and skirts are a notable feature, intended to help reduce friction and improve heat management within the combustion chamber, which can contribute to a more durable engine build.

These pistons are well-built and come as a complete set, ensuring you have all the necessary components for a proper engine overhaul. The .020 oversized dimension means they are intended for engines where the cylinder bores have been machined to match this larger diameter, typically during a rebuild to restore proper piston-to-wall clearance. Mahle is a well-known name in piston manufacturing, and Industrial Injection has selected these for their ability to handle the demands of the 24-valve Cummins engine. The coating on the piston tops and skirts is a practical addition that can help protect against scuffing and wear, especially under heavy use.

If you're undertaking a significant engine rebuild on your Ram truck, this piston set is a solid option. It's important to note that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Ensure your engine block has been properly bored and honed to the .020 oversized specification before installation. For a complete engine build, you'll also want to consider new piston rings, bearings, and gaskets, which are typically replaced at the same time.
