Product Description
The ARP 247-7201 Rocker Pedestal Stud Kit is engineered for 1998.5-2018 Dodge Ram 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins 24-valve engines to provide increased valvetrain stability, improved clamp load consistency, and enhanced durability compared to factory rocker pedestal bolts.
Factory rocker pedestal bolts can stretch over time, especially in high-mileage, towing, tuned, or high-cylinder-pressure diesel applications. The ARP 247-7201 kit replaces those factory fasteners with premium ARP hardware designed to deliver superior reliability and strength for street, towing, and competition Cummins builds.
ARP High Performance Series fasteners are cold forged to maintain molecular integrity, heat-treated prior to thread rolling and machining, and rated at approximately 180,000 PSI tensile strength.

WHY UPGRADE TO ROCKER PEDESTAL STUDS?
High boost pressure, aggressive tuning, elevated RPM, and heavy towing loads can place additional stress on Cummins valvetrain components. ARP rocker pedestal studs provide more consistent clamping force and improved durability than factory bolts, helping maintain valvetrain stability in demanding diesel applications.
