Features:
If you're building serious power in your 5.9L or 6.7L Cummins, the stock bottom end isn't going to cut it for long. The Industrial PDM-06020 12mm Gorilla Girdle with ARP Main Studs is the reinforcement your block needs when torque numbers start climbing. Whether you're hauling heavy, chasing quarter-mile numbers, or just want bulletproof reliability, this setup helps prevent main cap walk and crankshaft distortion under extreme loads. It includes a heavy-duty Gorilla Girdle, premium ARP 12mm main studs, and all the necessary spacers, nuts, and hardware for a complete install. This isn’t just a basic stud kit, it’s a full system engineered to tie the bottom of the block together and keep it that way. The added rigidity it provides is a must for anyone pushing the limits of their Cummins. If you're planning to go big with boost, fuel, or both, this girdle kit gives you the peace of mind to do it right.
The Gorilla Girdle kit is precision built to reinforce the main bearing caps across 2003-2018 Cummins engines, providing crucial support where it's most needed. Each kit includes 12mm ARP 2000 main studs rated to torque down at 125 ft lbs, along with top and bottom spacers, nylock and 12-point nuts, and a rear main spacer bar for full coverage. The girdle helps distribute clamping force evenly across all mains, minimizing flex and helping maintain crankshaft alignment during heavy acceleration or sustained high-load conditions. It’s especially valuable for trucks running high boost, aggressive tuning, or hard towing applications that push the factory bottom end past its comfort zone. On 6.7L models equipped with a factory windage tray instead of a girdle, additional parts like early-style oil pickup tube bolts and tubes may be required to complete the install. Industrial Injection is currently working on a solution to streamline this process. Until then, it’s important to plan your build accordingly to avoid delays during installation.
