FAQ
Is Cummins 5473331 the correct bearing set for a standard crankshaft?
Yes. This set is standard size and is used when crank rod journals have not been machined or undersized.
Can these bearings be used on both 5.9L and 6.7L engines?
Yes — the 5473331 bearing set is designed for 2003–2007 5.9L and 2007.5–2018 6.7L ISB Cummins engines.
Should I replace rod bolts and nuts when installing new bearings?
It is recommended. Rod bolts stretch over time and may lose clamping force. Replacing them ensures proper bearing crush and reliability.
Do these bearings come pre-lubed?
No. Always apply clean assembly lube before installation to prevent dry start conditions.
How do I confirm bearing clearance?
Use Plastigauge or micrometer measurements to confirm clearances match Cummins service specifications.
