Product Description
MAHLE 41909.03 is the +.030" over piston ring set engineered for the 2001–2004 GM 6.6L Duramax LB7 (VIN “1”). This complete 8-cylinder kit uses OE-grade materials and a plasma-moly top ring to deliver fast seat-in, stable sealing, and reliable oil control on fresh .030" overbores.
Why it wins: consistent face coating for rapid break-in, correct standard tension for street/tow durability, and proven 3-piece oil control for long service life.
