ARP Cylinder Head Stud Kit for Dodge 5.9L & 6.7L 24V Cummins (1998 & later) Custom Age 625+
This ARP Pro Series cylinder head stud kit upgrades Dodge Ram trucks with 5.9L and 6.7L 24V Cummins engines from 1998 onward. The Custom Age 625+ material provides exceptional tensile strength over 220,000 PSI for reliable head clamping under high boost and horsepower. Engine builders choose these studs to prevent head gasket failures in competition and daily driven diesel applications.
Key Features
- Custom Age 625+ Alloy: Nickel-based superalloy exceeds ARP2000 strength with superior fatigue resistance and corrosion protection for extreme diesel power levels
- Precision Heat Treatment: Vertically racked studs achieve uniform 220,000+ PSI tensile strength ensuring even clamping across all cylinders
- Centerless Grinding: Post-heat-treat process creates concentric straightness so heads and gaskets align perfectly without binding
- Thread Rolling After Heat Treat: Delivers 2000% higher fatigue strength than pre-heat-treat threaded studs for long-term durability
- Undercut Design: Equalizes stretch on shorter studs to maintain consistent clamp load and resist head gasket blowouts
Product Notes
- Use ARP Ultra-Torque assembly lubricant on threads and under nut faces for accurate torque values
- Torque to ARP specifications: long studs 110 ft-lbs, medium 90 ft-lbs, short 70 ft-lbs in three stages
- Ships in protective ARP packaging to prevent thread damage
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Clean blind holes thoroughly and chase threads before installation
- Compatible with OEM and aftermarket head gaskets. includes 12-point nuts and hard washers

ARP Head Studs
ARP head studs replace factory head bolts with precision-machined threaded studs that provide more consistent and repeatable clamping force on the cylinder head gasket. Unlike head bolts that apply torque through both rotational and tensile forces, head studs allow the nut to be torqued concentrically on a stud that is already stationary, producing more even clamping load across the entire head gasket surface. Popular ARP Head Stud Applications ARP head studs are available for a wide range of performance and turbocharged engines including the Subaru EJ series, Honda K series and B series, Mitsubishi 4G63 and 4B11, Honda Civic and Integra, Toyota 2JZ-GTE, Nissan SR20DET and RB series, GM LS series, Ford Coyote and 5.0, and Dodge/Chrysler HEMI applications. ARP offers both 8740 chromoly and ARP2000 alloy head stud kits, with the ARP2000 material providing approximately 20 percent higher tensile strength for high-boost applications above 30 psi. Why are head studs preferred over head b...
