AW-17220743903, GT-K4ZB5X3V
Fitment: 2003–2007 Dodge/Ram 2500 & 3500 with 5.9L 24-valve common-rail Cummins. Keep ECTs stable while towing, daily driving, or sled-pulling with proven radiators, thermostats, water pumps, fan clutches, hoses, and coolant bypass solutions from CPP Diesel.
Most stock trucks do well with the 190°F OEM thermostat. If you tow heavy or run performance tunes, the 180°F option can help smooth temperature swings.
It’s a popular reliability mod on 5.9L trucks to equalize temps at the rear cylinders. Choose the kit matched to your model year and transmission: 03–05 Auto, 06–07 Auto, 03–07 Manual.
The electronic fan clutches on these trucks fail with heat and age. Replace the clutch (CPP 55056990AC) and fix damaged wiring with the correct connector pigtail.
Use a high-quality antifreeze that meets OEM specifications for your model year and climate. Many owners use HOAT/G-05 type coolant—always verify with your owner’s manual.
Coolant weep at the pump, bearing noise, or temperature creep at idle/light load. If present, replace with a genuine Cummins pump.
A thread-in block heater helps winter starts and warm-up. See the 03–07 engine parts list for the 3928341 block heater and cord.
