FAQ
Does this kit include exhaust seals?
No. SS45903 covers intake seals only. For exhaust, use MAHLE SS45902.
Will it fit my 2001 Ram 2500 24-valve?
Yes—this set fits 1998.5–2002 5.9L Cummins ISB 24V applications.
Why “positive-type” seals?
Positive seals control oil more precisely at the guide, helping reduce oil consumption and deposits.
Any install tips?
Lightly lube seals and stems, use the proper driver, and inspect guides for wear before installation.
