The Industrial Injection PDM-08200 Rear Freeze Plug Retaining Plate is built to give you lasting peace of mind by securing one of the most failure prone areas at the back of the block. Designed for 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with 24V engines, as well as 6B 12 Valve and 4BT applications, this plate is a smart upgrade during a rebuild or transmission-out service. It includes a high temperature Viton O-ring that is made to handle the heat cycles and pressure these engines are known for. Once properly installed, it creates a tight, dependable seal that helps prevent coolant loss and the headaches that come with it. Additionally, the hand-install design means no hammering or guesswork, reducing the risk of damaging the plug during installation. If you are already in the back of the engine for maintenance, this is one of those upgrades that simply makes sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePrecision Engineered Rear Block Sealing Solution For 6B 24V And 4BT Cummins\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PDM-08200 rear freeze plug retaining plate is engineered specifically for Cummins 6B 12 Valve, 1998-2002 24 Valve, and 4BT engines, ensuring correct fitment at the rear of the block. The kit includes a high temperature Viton O-ring that must be installed carefully to avoid cuts or damage, which is critical for achieving a proper seal. For best results, the freeze plug bore should be thoroughly cleaned with a wire brush or emery cloth to remove rust and scale before installation. The bore must also have a slight chamfer so the O-ring can compress evenly and form a tight seal. Using a light coat of motor oil on the O-ring and bore allows the plug to slide in smoothly by hand. No hammer should be used during installation, as the plug is designed to seat with steady hand pressure only. Furthermore, this precision fit and controlled installation process help ensure long term sealing performance in demanding diesel applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Fitment: \u003c\/strong\u003e1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 Dodge RAM 2500\/3500 w\/ 24V \u0026amp; 4BT Engines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 6B 12 Valve, 1998-2002 24V, and 4BT engines only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes high temperature Viton O-ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO-ring must be handled carefully to prevent damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreeze plug bore must be cleaned before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove all rust and scale from bore surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBore requires slight chamfer for proper seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse motor oil to lubricate O-ring during install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall by hand pressure only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use a hammer during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Industrial Injection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53942516875548,"sku":"IISPDM-08200","price":67.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2279\/8108\/files\/new08200_1800x1800_ca709020-7039-42b1-96aa-9d25b3af43ca.webp?v=1772050998","url":"https:\/\/www.alligatorperformance.com\/products\/industrial-injection-pdm-08200","provider":"Alligator Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
