Industrial Injection 98.5-02 Dodge 24V Mahle Piston .040 Oversized Coated Tops / Skirts

This is a set of Industrial Injection Mahle pistons, specifically sized at .040 inches oversized for the 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with the 24-valve Cummins engine. When you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, especially if you're dealing with worn cylinders or looking to achieve a specific bore size, a quality piston set like this is crucial for proper engine function and longevity. These pistons are designed to fit right and perform reliably in demanding applications.

What sets these pistons apart is the use of Mahle components, known for their well-built internal engine parts. The tops of these pistons feature a coating, and the skirts are also coated. These coatings help reduce friction and improve heat management within the combustion chamber, which can contribute to better performance and durability over time. The .040 inch oversized dimension means these are intended for cylinders that have been bored out to match this size, typically during an engine rebuild to clean up imperfections or increase displacement slightly. This set includes everything needed to replace the pistons for your engine.

When undertaking an engine rebuild of this magnitude, it's important to ensure all related components are in good condition. This includes checking the connecting rods, crankshaft, and cylinder walls for wear. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for precise fitting and assembly procedures, as proper installation is key to realizing the full benefit of these high-quality pistons.
