The DFC Diesel KORE590002LB KORE Series Long Block gives 2000-2002 Ram 2500 and 3500 owners a practical middle ground with quality components and professional machining built into the package. Inside you will find new Mahle pistons, Mahle main bearings, Mahle rod bearings, and Total Seal gapless rings selected to provide the durability needed for daily driving and demanding commercial use. Since this is a long block rather than a basic short block, DFC also includes a remanufactured cylinder head along with the rockers and pushrods already preset to factory specifications. The front and rear covers, oil pan, internal components, and complete installation gasket kit are included as well, saving you from having to chase down many of the major pieces individually. Compatibility with most existing components and upgrades can make installation more straightforward for a shop bringing a familiar truck back to life. Backed by DFC's 5 year or 160000 kilometer warranty, the KORE Series gives you an economical path toward putting dependable 5.9L Cummins power back under the hood without treating quality as an afterthought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePrecision Machining Sets The Standard Inside\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KORE590002LB begins with a 5.9L Cummins block professionally machined and bored for the next oversized piston without using cylinder sleeves. DFC uses advanced Rottler machining equipment and blueprints its cylinder blocks to tighter tolerances than OEM specifications with a Rottler F69 ATC. The rotating assembly receives new Mahle pistons along with new Mahle main and rod bearings, while Total Seal gapless rings provide another carefully selected component within the rebuilt engine. Up top, the remanufactured cylinder head is resurfaced and magnafluxed before being assembled with new valves, hardened seats, stem seals, and cast guides. Improved gasket sealing methods are used in common leakage areas, and the engine can be upgraded to an MLS head gasket configuration when the application calls for it. DFC also installs new gaskets and seals throughout the assembly, including new front and rear main seals, to provide consistent sealing as the engine returns to service. With the valvetrain preset to factory specifications and a complete gasket set supplied for installation, this KORE Series long block arrives as a thoroughly prepared foundation for rebuilding a 2000-2002 5.9L Cummins 24V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Fitment: \u003c\/strong\u003e 2000, 2001, 2002 Dodge RAM 2500\/3500 5.9L Cummins 24V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for 2000-2002 5.9L Cummins 24V applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a long block assembly, not a complete engine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlock is bored for the next oversized piston.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDFC states no cylinder sleeves are used.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a remanufactured cylinder head.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockers and pushrods are factory preset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost existing components and upgrades remain compatible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete installation gasket set is included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMLS head gasket upgrade is available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer states tighter than OEM block tolerances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDFC advertises a 5 year 100000 mile warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed shipping weight is 828 pounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore Charge: $2,900.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DFC Diesel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419064848668,"sku":"DDUKORE590002LB","price":4949.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2279\/8108\/files\/59-Front_web.jpg?v=1786393249","url":"https:\/\/www.alligatorperformance.com\/products\/dfc-diesel-kore590002lb-kore-series-long-block-std-auto-2000-2002-dodge-ram-2500-3500-5-9l-cummins-24v","provider":"Alligator Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
