FAQ: IS THIS SOLD AS A PAIR OR A FULL ENGINE SET?
Sold individually. You need 6 bearings for a complete 6‑cyl engine.
FAQ: WILL THIS FIT MY 2003–2007 5.9 OR 2007.5–2015 6.7?
No. Those engines use fracture‑split rods. Order Mahle/Clevite CB‑1873AP bearings instead.
FAQ: WHAT SIZE SHOULD I ORDER?
Choose STD for standard journals. If your crank has been ground, choose the matching undersize (.25 mm, .50 mm, .75 mm) across all cylinders.
FAQ: WHAT MAKES P‑SERIES BEARINGS DIFFERENT?
P‑Series uses a tri‑metal TM‑112 overlay and higher eccentricity with a hardened steel back for better film strength under high load/RPM compared to typical bi‑metal bearings.
