ARP Dodge Cummins 5.9L 12V/24V Balancer Bolt Kit 1989-2002 Ram 2500/3500
Secure your Dodge Cummins harmonic balancer with the ARP 147-2502 bolt kit designed for 5.9L 12-valve and 24-valve diesel engines in 1989-2002 Ram trucks. This kit replaces the factory bolt prone to stretching and breaking under high stress or boost. Engineered fasteners maintain precise timing and prevent catastrophic balancer detachment during demanding diesel operation.
