Enhance the durability and performance of your 1998.5-2023 Dodge Ram 5.9L/6.7L Diesel with the XDP X220 Series Head Stud Kit XD3010HS. This essential upgrade is designed for Ram 2500/3500 owners who are boosting horsepower and torque, as the OEM head bolts may not withstand the increased pressure, potentially leading to cylinder head lifting and head gasket failures. The XDP head studs are crafted from high-strength 8740 Chromoly Steel, incorporating a proprietary element for added durability, ensuring they won’t stretch like factory bolts. With threads rolled post heat-treatment for superior fatigue strength and ratings of 205,000+ psi yield strength and 225,000+ psi tensile strength, these studs offer a reliable solution to maintain cylinder head integrity under high combustion pressures.
- Precision Engineering: Features rolled threads after heat treating for maximum fatigue strength.
- Superior Material: Constructed from 8740 Chromoly Steel with a proprietary element for unmatched durability.
- Strength Ratings: Boasts 205,000+ psi yield strength and 225,000+ psi tensile strength.
- Kit Components: Includes washers, 12-point nuts, with studs tested at a max load exceeding 120KN. Manufactured in an ISO/TS 16949 certified facility.
- Reusability: Unlike OEM Torque-To-Yield (TTY) bolts, these studs can be reused, making them ideal for high-performance applications.
In addition to their robust construction, upgrading to head studs from bolts allows for a more accurate torque reading due to the elimination of twisting forces, resulting in a more even clamping force. This also aids in the proper alignment of cylinder heads and simplifies engine assembly. For a complete installation, consider adding the XDP Thread Cleaning Chasers (XD40125TC) to prepare engine block threads for a flawless setup, and use XDP X-TRA Slick Engine & Fastener Assembly Lubricant (XD541) to ensure reduced friction and prevent thread galling during assembly. Both of these critical tools are sold separately and are highly recommended for achieving the best results with your engine build or head gasket repair.
