ARP Dodge Cummins 5.9L 24V Same Length Head Stud Kit 2004.5-2007 Ram 2500/3500
This ARP head stud kit replaces factory head bolts on 2004.5-2007 Dodge Ram trucks with 5.9L Cummins 24V common rail diesel engines. The same-length studs ensure even clamping pressure across the head for superior gasket sealing under high boost and horsepower. Built for performance builds, it handles extreme conditions where stock bolts fail.
Key Features
- ARP2000 Alloy Studs: Forged from proprietary material with 220,000 PSI tensile strength to resist stretch and fatigue in high-pressure diesel applications
- Same Length Design: All studs identical length for uniform torque distribution and consistent head clamping force
- 12-Point Nuts: Chromium-moly steel nuts with 12-point design for precise fit and high torque application without rounding
- Hardened Steel Washers: Parallel ground washers distribute load evenly and prevent galling during installation
- Complete Kit: Includes 24 studs, 24 washers, and 24 nuts for one complete cylinder head installation
Product Notes
- Use ARP Ultra-Torque lubricant or moly paste on threads and under nut faces for accurate torque values
- Torque to ARP specifications in sequence: 75 ft-lbs initial, then +90 degrees, then +90 degrees
- Kit designed for stock or performance head gaskets. verify gasket thickness compatibility
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Clean blind holes thoroughly and use assembly lube to avoid hydraulic lock
- Requires OEM-style head gasket. compatible with multi-layer steel or composite gaskets

ARP
ARP (Automotive Racing Products) is the world’s premier manufacturer of high-strength engine and driveline fasteners—head studs and bolts, main studs, rod bolts, and more—engineered and manufactured in-house from start to finish for race-proven reliability. With vertically integrated processes that include cold heading, machining, heat-treating, thread rolling after heat treat, and rigorous QA, ARP maintains aerospace-level certifications (ISO 9001 and AS9100) and validates every part for repeatable clamp load and fatigue resistance. Signature alloys such as 8740 chromoly, ARP2000, L19, and Custom Age 625+ deliver ultimate tensile strengths up to the super-alloy range, while ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant helps achieve consistent pre-load during installation. From street performance builds to professional motorsport programs, ARP fasteners provide precise fitment, superior metallurgy, and the durability needed to keep engines together at elevated cylinder pressures and...

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...
