Industrial Injection 98.5-02 Dodge 24V Mahle Piston Standard Size Coated Tops / Skirts

These Mahle pistons from Industrial Injection feature a special coating on both the tops and the skirts, a detail that really matters for the 24-valve Cummins engine in your 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500. The coating on the piston tops helps manage heat, which is crucial for preventing detonation and extending the life of the piston under heavy load. On the skirts, this coating reduces friction as the piston moves up and down in the cylinder, leading to less wear over time and potentially a slight improvement in efficiency.

Built to standard size, these pistons are designed as a direct replacement for your original equipment, making them a solid choice if you're rebuilding your engine. Mahle is a well-known name in piston manufacturing, and Industrial Injection has chosen them for their reliability and performance. The construction is robust, intended to handle the demands of a diesel engine that works hard, whether it's for towing, daily driving, or more performance-oriented use. You'll be getting a well-built set that aims to restore or improve your engine's performance and longevity.

When you're diving into an engine rebuild, getting the right components is key. This set includes standard size pistons, meaning they're meant to fit into cylinders that haven't been bored out. Always double-check your cylinder bore measurements before ordering to ensure you get the correct size. This kit is designed for the 5.9L 24-valve Cummins engine, so make sure that matches your truck's specifications. Remember, these are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
