The DFC Diesel KORE Series Long Block was built specifically to bridge that gap, giving Ram 2500 and 3500 owners a quality remanufactured engine at a more accessible price point. DFC keeps costs down by leaving out components that are commonly reused or easily sourced separately, without cutting any corners on the actual remanufacturing process itself. Every long block is machined using Rottler equipment, some of the most advanced machining technology in North America, resulting in tolerances that exceed original OEM specifications. Inside, you're getting all new pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets, seals, valves, springs, hardened seats, stem seals, and cast guides, along with a standard Cometic MLS head gasket and Total Seal gapless piston rings. DFC also builds in improved gasket sealing methods specifically targeting the common leak points these early 24 valve engines are known for. Whether you're keeping a work truck running or restoring a reliable daily driver, this long block gives you real remanufactured quality without paying for a full engine package. It's a smart, budget-conscious way to get real miles back out of this short-production transition-year Cummins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePrecision Machining With Purposeful Upgrades To Known Weak Points\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DFC Diesel KORE5998599LB is a remanufactured long block engineered specifically for 1998.5-1999 Dodge Ram trucks equipped with the 5.9L Cummins 24 valve engine featuring the trigger gear crankshaft, compatible with both automatic and manual transmission applications. Every long block is machined using Rottler equipment, delivering tolerances that exceed OEM specifications throughout the build. The engine includes all new pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets, seals, valves, springs, hardened seats, stem seals, and cast guides, and comes standard with a Cometic MLS head gasket paired with Total Seal gapless piston rings for improved sealing performance. DFC also incorporates improved gasket sealing methods in the areas most prone to leakage on this platform. The long block ships as a complete short block assembly with the cylinder head included, along with a complete top end gasket kit and silicone to finish the installation. It's worth noting this long block does not include the front cover, oil pump, CP3 or injection pump gear, oil pan, oil pickup tube, rear main seal retainer, rocker arms, valve bridges, or pushrods, since these are commonly reused or sourced separately by the installer. Every engine is manufactured in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility and backed by a 1 year, unlimited mileage manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1998.5, 1999 Dodge Ram 2500\/3500 5.9L Cummins 24V with Trigger Gear Crankshaft\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm your engine uses the trigger gear crankshaft before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not include front cover, oil pump, CP3\/injection pump gear, oil pan, oil pickup tube, rear main seal retainer, rocker arms, valve bridges, or pushrods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent brands may vary by build based on parts availability, cannot be specially requested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e$500 crate charge\/$2,800 core charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine shipping crate must be returned with core engine for full core credit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer warranty: 1 year, unlimited mileage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil cooler replacement highly recommended, mandatory if prior engine had a bearing failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjector replacement highly recommended on higher mileage or contaminated fuel engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurbocharger replacement recommended over 125K miles, mandatory if shaft play present or engine was dusted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater pump replacement highly recommended if engine has over 125K miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvans Waterless Coolant recommended upgrade for corrosion and boilover prevention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis product cannot be shipped to California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DFC Diesel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54605460603164,"sku":"DDUKORE5998599LB","price":4949.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2279\/8108\/files\/59-Front_web_1_2244d5fc-4b74-432b-8967-f080957f42ee.jpg?v=1790271030","url":"https:\/\/www.alligatorperformance.com\/products\/dfc-diesel-kore5998599lb-24v-kore-series-long-block-1998-5-1999-dodge-ram-5-9l-cummins-24v-w-trigger-gear-crankshaft","provider":"Alligator Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
