Sealing Performance You Can Count On

If you’re running a 1988 to 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 with the legendary 5.9L 12-valve Cummins, the BD Diesel 1045981 Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set is a must-have when servicing or upgrading your exhaust system. This kit is built to support BD's 12-valve manifolds including the 1045980, 1045980SS, and 1045989, giving you everything needed to create a secure, leak-free seal from the cylinder head to the turbo. Whether you're reinstalling after a manifold swap or addressing a worn-out seal, this set ensures you have the correct parts in hand with no guesswork.

Complete Kit Built for Reliability and Ease

Included in this kit are all the necessary gaskets to seal both the head-to-manifold and manifold-to-turbo connections, saving time and hassle during installation. Each gasket is designed to handle the heat and pressure your Cummins engine puts out under load. Installation takes around two and a half hours and can be tackled in the garage with basic tools. Backed by a 36-month or 75,000-mile warranty, this kit offers solid peace of mind. It’s also fully legal for use in all 50 states, making it a great fit for both stock and performance builds alike.
