BD DIESEL 1045947 EXHAUST PULSE MANIFOLD DODGE 1998.5–2002 5.9L CUMMINS 24-VALVE 2500/3500

Product Description

The BD DIESEL 1045947 Exhaust Pulse Manifold is a direct-fit, performance-built replacement for 1998.5–2002 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 trucks equipped with the 5.9L Cummins 24-valve engine. Designed to solve common cracking and warping issues found in factory manifolds, this fully divided pulse manifold improves durability, reduces thermal fatigue, and helps deliver consistent turbo response under load.

BD Diesel 1045947 pulse exhaust manifold, Cummins 24 valve exhaust manifold upgrade, 5.9 Cummins 1998.5-2002 exhaust manifold, divided pulse manifold T3 flange, pre-drilled pyrometer ports, high-silicon ductile iron manifold, slip joint exhaust manifold

Cast from high-silicon ductile iron, the BD Pulse Manifold is engineered to withstand extreme exhaust temperatures and vibration. The internal geometry is optimized to maintain turbo drive pressure while improving flow, and the precision slip joints allow controlled expansion and contraction to greatly reduce cyclic thermal stress — one of the leading causes of manifold cracking. The manifold is also pre-drilled for pyrometer probes, making it an ideal upgrade for towing, performance builds, and EGT monitoring setups.

Will this manifold help prevent cracking compared to a factory manifold?

Yes. The BD Pulse Manifold features precision slip joints that allow controlled expansion and contraction to reduce thermal fatigue — a common cause of cracking in one-piece factory manifolds.

Is this manifold pre-drilled for an EGT probe?

Yes. This manifold is pre-drilled for pyrometer probes, making it easier to add EGT monitoring for towing and performance setups.

Does this include gaskets and mounting hardware?

No. Gaskets and replacement bolts are not included. We recommend installing with new gaskets and inspecting your mounting hardware during installation.
