This matched piston set is designed for engines that require a .040 inch oversize bore after machining, giving you a dependable solution for restoring proper piston to cylinder fit. Each kit arrives complete with rings, wrist pins, and clips, so you have the essential components needed to keep your rebuild moving in the right direction. Additionally, the low friction anti scuff skirt coating helps reduce wear during startup and everyday operation while promoting long lasting reliability. This stock replacement configuration is an excellent choice for owners rebuilding a work truck, tow rig, or daily driven Cummins that needs dependable performance without unnecessary modifications. The result is an engine that is ready to handle demanding miles with the durability you expect from a properly rebuilt 6BT. When reliability matters as much as power, this piston kit delivers the solid foundation your rebuild deserves. \u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch4\u003e Precision Engine Components For Oversize Rebuilds \u003c\/h4\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e The Industrial Injection X-Series .040 Piston Kit is engineered specifically for 1998.5-2002 5.9L Cummins 24V 6BT engines that have been machined for a .040 inch oversize piston. Every piston is matched to provide consistent fitment and balanced operation across all six cylinders, helping support smooth engine performance after assembly. Furthermore, the kit includes rings, wrist pins, and retaining clips, eliminating the need to source these critical installation components separately. The low friction anti scuff skirt coating helps minimize contact friction between the piston and cylinder wall, contributing to reduced wear over the life of the engine. Because this is the stock replacement version, it maintains the factory compression height and is intended for OEM style engine configurations. This makes it well suited for dependable rebuilds that do not require additional valve clearance or specialized piston designs. Before installation, verify that your engine block has been properly machined for a .040 inch oversize bore to ensure correct clearances and reliable long term performance. \u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Fitment: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1998.5, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 Dodge RAM 2500\/3500 4WD 5.9L Cummins 24V \u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for 1998.5-2002 5.9L Cummins 24V 6BT engines only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis listing is for the .040 inch oversize piston kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires a .040 inch overbore engine block.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVerify cylinder bore size before ordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConfirm cylinder measurements after machine work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintains the factory compression height.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes matched pistons, rings, wrist pins, and clips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntended as a direct drop-in replacement for compatible engines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot intended for builds requiring additional valve clearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConsult your engine builder for modified engine applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  ","brand":"Industrial Injection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54409314795804,"sku":"IIS243112","price":1163.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2279\/8108\/files\/243111_14.webp?v=1786032253","url":"https:\/\/www.alligatorperformance.com\/products\/industrial-243112-6bt-x-series-piston-kit-040-1998-5-2002-dodge-ram-2500-3500-4wd-5-9l-cummins-24v","provider":"Alligator Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
