Features:
If you're pushing your 6.0L Power Stroke harder than stock, upgrading to the PPE 318034450 Head Stud Kit is one of the smartest moves you can make. Whether you’re towing heavy, running a tuner, or just want the peace of mind that comes with bulletproof reliability, this stud kit has your back. Designed to handle extreme heat and pressure, these studs help prevent the kind of head gasket failures the 6.0L is known for. Built with PPE’s proprietary PPE-288 alloy, they’re engineered to clamp down tight and hold strong, even under the most demanding conditions. With a tensile strength over 280,000 psi, you’re not just upgrading, you’re overbuilding in all the right ways. Everything you need is in the box, including 12-point nuts, washers, M8 bolts, and an assembly grease packet to help you torque it all down right. This isn’t just about replacement, it’s about peace of mind every time you turn the key.
The PPE-288 High Yield Head Stud Kit is built for engine builders and serious diesel owners who demand durability under pressure. Each stud is crafted from a proprietary PPE-288 alloy known for its superior fatigue resistance, excellent hardenability, and creep strength under high-temperature conditions. These studs have been independently lab tested and confirmed to deliver over 280,000 psi tensile strength and 253,000 psi yield strength, making them ideal for high boost, towing, and tuned applications. Unlike basic hardware, PPE studs are precision ground, thread rolled, heat treated, and surface finished to reduce stress concentrations and promote long-term durability. The ultra-low impurity content also helps prevent embrittlement over time, even in demanding diesel environments. The kit comes complete with 12-point nuts, hardened washers, M8 head bolts, and an assembly grease packet for uniform torque and consistent clamping force. Whether you’re rebuilding or upgrading, this stud kit gives your 2003-2007 6.0L Power Stroke a foundation you can trust.
