Helpful Notes

Stud choice: 247-4202 covers most street/tow builds; step to 625+ (247-4204) for high boost/competition.
Gaskets: Fire-ring kits suit extreme power—OE style MLS remains the quiet, street-friendly option.
Dampers: Replace aged units to protect the crank; OE 3918999 fits 98.5–02 24V.
Oil pans: 94–02 applications commonly use the 4089093 pan; confirm by VIN/ESN before ordering.
Valvetrain: Match cam, spring pressure, and pushrods to RPM/boost goals for stable control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need ARP 625+ or will standard ARP studs work?

ARP 247-4202 suits most 24V street/tow builds. Choose ARP 247-4204 625+ for high boost, aggressive timing, or competition.

When should I consider a fire-ring head gasket?

Only for high cylinder pressure (big single/compounds + aggressive fueling). See our CPP 24V Fire-Ring Kit for 98.5–02.

Which harmonic damper fits a 1999 24V?

The OE Cummins 3918999 is a direct-fit 98.5–02 replacement.

What oil pan fits my 2001 5.9?

Most 94–02 5.9L use the 4089093 pan; verify by VIN/ESN and front cover clearance.

My cam/crank sensor is acting up—what should I check?

On 98.5–02 trucks inspect connectors and consider OE-quality replacements like our cam sensor and IAT sensor; pigtails available in the Sensors subcategory.
