5.9 L 24V Cummins Long Blocks (2003–2007)

If you are replacing or rebuilding a 2003-2007 Dodge Ram common rail engine, our 5.9L 24V Cummins long blocks for 2003-2007 trucks provide a reliable and more complete engine solution. A long block is ideal when you need more than a short block and want a fully assembled top-end included. This reduces installation time, minimizes parts transfer, and gives you a dependable foundation for stock replacement, towing builds, work trucks, and performance applications.

Compared to a short block, a 5.9 Cummins long block includes the cylinder head and valvetrain components, making it a better option when your existing top-end parts are worn, damaged, or no longer worth reusing. It provides a strong balance between cost and convenience, allowing you to get back on the road faster without stepping up to a full crate engine. Whether you are rebuilding a daily driver, upgrading a tow rig, or building a durable common rail setup, CPP Diesel helps simplify the process with quality Cummins engine options and real diesel experience.

What Comes In A 5.9 Cummins Long Block?

A 5.9 Cummins long block includes the engine block, crankshaft, pistons, bearings, cylinder head, and valvetrain components, professionally assembled and ready for installation. This gives you a more complete engine package than a short block, while still allowing flexibility for external components such as fuel system parts, manifolds, turbochargers, and accessories. For many builds, a long block offers the best balance between simplicity, cost, and reliability.

Long Block Vs Short Block Cummins Engines

A long block includes both the bottom end and the cylinder head assembly, while a short block only includes the lower-end rotating components. If your head or valvetrain components are worn or questionable, a long block is typically the better option because it reduces installation time and limits the need for additional parts. If your top-end components are still in good condition and you want to keep costs lower, a short block may be the better choice.
