Product Description
MAHLE 41909.04 is a +.040 over complete piston ring set for the 2001–2004 GM 6.6L Duramax LB7 (VIN “1”). Pre-lapped, OE-grade rings deliver quick seat-in, strong compression, and long service life on fresh .040" overbores.
Why it wins: ductile-iron plasma-moly top rings for durable sealing, correct standard tension for street/tow builds, and a proven 3-piece oil ring for consistent oil control.

FAQ
Is this a full engine set or a single-cylinder set?
It’s a complete set for all eight cylinders (top, second, and oil ring assemblies).
Do I need machine work for .040 over?
Yes. Order this set only after your block has been bored and honed to +.040" (verify final bore and set ring end-gaps).
What ring materials are used?
Ductile-iron plasma-moly top ring, cast-iron second ring (chrome-faced), and a stainless 3-piece oil ring assembly.
Will this fit other Duramax generations?
The 41909 family is commonly listed for 2001–2010 applications. If you’re not LB7 (’01–’04), confirm part selection by year/engine code before ordering.
