Product Description
The HAMILTON CAMS 07-P-002 EXTREME DUTY PUSHRODS are engineered to provide superior valvetrain strength and reliability for 1989–1998 Cummins 5.9L 12-valve engines. Whether your truck is a daily driver, tow rig, work truck, sled puller, or high-performance street build, these heavy-duty pushrods help eliminate flex and maintain precise valve motion under demanding conditions.
Factory pushrods can deflect under increased cylinder pressure, boost, and RPM, causing lost valve lift and reduced valvetrain stability. Hamilton's Extreme Duty pushrods utilize premium chromoly construction to dramatically increase strength and stiffness while maintaining proper valvetrain geometry.
These pushrods are an excellent upgrade for trucks running upgraded turbochargers, performance fueling modifications, aftermarket camshafts, or increased boost pressure. They help maximize camshaft performance while improving long-term engine durability.
