FAQ
Will these fit all 2003–2004 5.9L engines?Yes—these are designed for 2003–2004 5.9L Cummins common rail (24V) applications. Always verify by VIN/ESN if you’re unsure.
Do I need the .100" fly-cut reliefs?They are recommended when running high-lift cams and tight PTV clearances. They provide extra margin under heat and RPM.
Are rings included?Yes. The set includes rings, wrist pins, and clips matched to the .040" over pistons.
Studs or bolts?Studs are strongly recommended for higher boost/power (e.g., ARP 247-4202 or 247-4204). Bolts can work for mild builds but are single-use.
