- High-Strength 12.9 Grade Alloy Steel: Engineered with a tensile strength exceeding 185,000 PSI, making these studs significantly stronger than standard original equipment hardware and aftermarket stainless steel alternatives.
- Premium Chrome Plating: The striking chrome finish protects against harsh environmental corrosion and rust while delivering a clean, high-performance look under the hood.
- Superior Clamping Force: Engineered to withstand high combustion temperatures and heavy loads, ensuring a reliable, long-lasting manifold seal when torqued to 40 ft-lbs.
- Direct OE Upgrade: Formulated as a seamless, direct replacement for stock Mopar 5012557AA and Cummins 3944593 exhaust manifold bolts.
- Comprehensive Installation Hardware: Each kit comes complete with high-strength studs, matching washers, and heavy-duty 12-point nuts for a secure and straightforward installation.
- Broad Engine Fitment: Precision-designed to fit 1994–2025 Dodge/Ram 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins Diesel engines.
- 1994–1998 5.9L 12V: For use with aftermarket exhaust manifolds only
- 2003–2007 5.9L 24V CR: Requires removal of the factory heat shield
- Compatible with 1994–2025 Dodge/Ram 5.9L & 6.7L Cummins Diesel engines
The factory exhaust manifold bolts on your Cummins engine endure extreme thermal cycles, constantly expanding and contracting under heavy towing loads and high boost levels. Over time, this intense stress causes stock factory hardware to stretch, fatigue, and eventually snap, leading to costly exhaust leaks and lost performance. Upgrading to the Gator Fasteners Heavy Duty Exhaust Manifold Stud Kit (EMSK5967C-Cr) solves this vulnerability by replacing weak factory bolts with a stud-and-nut clamping system. Studs provide a more uniform and consistent clamping force because they thread completely into the cylinder head, shifting the torque friction to the nut rather than twisting the fastener directly into the engine block.
