Aluminum Billet Tappet Cover Kit for Cummins 89-02 Dodge Ram 5.9L 12v 24v Diesel 🔧 Autopartszone Billet Tappet Cover Kit – For 1989–2002 Dodge Ram (Cummins 5.9L 12V/24V) 🔧 【CNC-Machined T6 Billet Aluminum + Leak-Free Seal】Fits VE44/P7100 Pumps – Eliminates Factory Oil Leaks (Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500) 1. Core Features 🔹 Perfect Fit for 1989–2002 Cummins 5.9L Engines Designed exclusively for Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 (1989–2002) equipped with Cummins 5.9L 6BT diesel engines (both 12V and 24V variants). Pump Compatibility: Direct fit for engines with VE44 or P7100 injection pumps (no modifications needed). Requires grinding for VP44 injection pump models (1998½–2002) or P7100 conversion (verify your pump type before purchase to avoid fitment issues). Replaces flimsy factory sheet metal tappet covers – solves the common OEM problem of warping/bending (which causes oil leaks). 🔹 CNC-Machined T6 Billet Aluminum Durability Constructed from high-grade T6 billet aluminum (3x stronger than factory sheet metal): Resists warping, deformation, and corrosion – even under extreme engine temperatures (up to 400°F / 204°C) and vibration (common in diesel trucks). Heavy-duty build: Maintains structural integrity for years, eliminating the need for frequent replacements (unlike OEM covers that degrade after 2–3 years). Sleek silver finish: Adds a polished, performance-focused look to the engine bay, ideal for show trucks or daily drivers. 🔹 Leak-Free Seal (No Silicone Needed) Integrated O-ring groove + VITON O-ring : Machined directly into the cover’s backside, creating a tight, long-lasting seal (VITON material is oil-resistant and heat-tolerant, outperforming standard rubber gaskets). No silicone required: Avoids messy silicone application and ensures a consistent seal – prevents oil leaks that damage engine components (e.g., belts, hoses) and stain the engine bay. Includes 6 mounting bolt seal O-rings: Extra protection against leaks at bolt holes, further enhancing the cover’s sealing performance. 🔹 Dual Ports for Crankcase Pressure Relief Features 2 JIC #8 90° hose breather fittings (included): Relieves excess crankcase pressure quickly – reduces stress on piston rings and oil seals, extending engine lifespan. Compatible with aftermarket crankcase ventilation (CCV) systems: Allows easy routing of breather hoses to catch cans or filters (common for diesel performance builds). 🔹 Easy Direct Replacement Precision-engineered to match OEM mounting points: Installs in 1–2 hours with basic tools (allen wrench, socket set) – no drilling or fabrication needed. Complete kit: Includes all hardware for a hassle-free install (tappet cover, O-rings, fittings, bolts) – no extra parts to source. 2.

FAQ & After-Sales Support ❓ Frequently Asked Questions Q1: I ordered this kit by mistake – how do I cancel? A1: Contact us as soon as possible . If the kit hasn’t shipped, we’ll cancel the order immediately. If it’s already dispatched, refuse the package upon delivery; once we receive the returned item, we’ll process a full refund. Q2: The cover doesn’t fit my VP44-equipped Ram – what should I do? A2: VP44 models (1998½–2002) require minor grinding to the cover’s mounting area (per product description). If you’re unable to modify it, contact us with your vehicle’s year/pump type – we can assist with a return or provide grinding guidance. Q3: Will this cover stop my factory oil leaks? A3: Yes – the warping of OEM sheet metal covers is the #1 cause of tappet cover oil leaks. Our rigid billet aluminum cover + VITON O-ring eliminates warping and creates a leak-free seal, solving this common issue. 6. Important Notes Pump Verification : Confirm your Cummins 5.9L’s injection pump type (VE44/P7100/VP44) before purchase – VP44 requires grinding (we recommend professional modification if you’re not experienced). Installation Tip : Clean the engine’s tappet cover mating surface thoroughly before installing the new cover – oil or debris will break the seal. Torque bolts to 18–22 ft-lbs (follow Cummins OEM specs) to avoid damaging the aluminum. Shipping : Items ship within 24 hours (excluding weekends/holidays) from CA or NJ warehouses – confirm your address (not shipped to Puerto Rico) before ordering. Issue Resolution : Contact us first for fitment problems, missing parts, or defects – we resolve issues within 24 hours (e.g., sending replacement O-rings, adjusting orders). Upgrade your Dodge Ram’s Cummins 5.9L with this durable, leak-free billet tappet cover – perfect for restoring performance and eliminating messy oil leaks! 🚛
