What exactly are load valves and why are they included?

Load valves are integrated into the exhaust manifold side of the cylinder head. They help control exhaust gas flow and backpressure, which can improve turbocharger spool-up and engine performance, especially under load. They also play a role in managing exhaust temperatures.

Does this cylinder head come with all necessary hardware for installation?

This product includes the new cylinder head with load valves. It is recommended to purchase new head bolts and any other required gaskets or seals separately to ensure a proper and reliable installation.

Is this cylinder head compatible with aftermarket turbochargers?

While this is a stock-style replacement head, its design with integrated load valves should be compatible with many aftermarket turbocharger setups. However, it's always best to consult with your turbocharger manufacturer to confirm specific fitment and performance characteristics.

Product Details

What you get with this Industrial Injection PDM-24VSTKH is a brand new, stock-style cylinder head specifically for your 1998.5-2002 Dodge 24-valve Cummins. This isn't a remanufactured unit; it's a fresh casting ready to go. It comes complete with load valves, which are crucial for managing exhaust backpressure and improving turbocharger spool-up, especially on these 24-valve engines.

Industrial Injection is known for building robust engine components, and this cylinder head is no exception. It's built to the original factory specifications, ensuring it bolts right up and functions as intended. The load valves are integrated into the design, helping to control exhaust gas flow and maintain optimal operating temperatures. This is important for keeping your engine running smoothly and preventing potential damage from excessive heat. When you're rebuilding the top end of your 24-valve Cummins, a solid, new cylinder head like this is a foundational piece for a reliable build.

Because this is a new, stock-replacement head, it's designed to work seamlessly with your existing engine components. You'll want to ensure all mating surfaces are clean and properly prepared before installation, and always follow the manufacturer's torque specifications for the head bolts and other components. Please note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
