This billet replacement not only solves that issue but brings a sleek, high-end look that fits right in with custom builds or fresh engine bays. It bolts right in as a direct replacement and seals up tight with RTV for a leak-free finish that holds strong through heat cycles and vibration. Whether you're dressing up your daily driver or tightening up a high-horsepower setup, this cover adds strength and durability where it counts. No more worrying about oil mist or grime collecting around your block. With solid machining and a clean fit, this is a smart upgrade with both form and function in mind. \u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch4\u003e Built To Handle Pressure While Looking Sharp Doing It \u003c\/h4\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e The Industrial PDM-08153 Billet Tappet Cover is engineered for 1998.5–2002 Dodge RAM 2500 and 3500 models equipped with the 5.9L 24V Cummins engine. Constructed from billet aluminum, this cover replaces the OEM stamped steel unit, which is prone to leaking and deforming under heat and vibration. The rigid structure of the billet design provides improved sealing capability when used with RTV (not included), ensuring reliable long-term oil containment around the tappet area. Its direct-fit design means installation is straightforward, with no modifications required for fitment. This upgrade is especially valuable for performance builds or trucks that endure higher-than-average operating conditions. The cover also enhances the visual appearance of the engine bay, making it a great choice for enthusiasts focused on both performance and presentation. By eliminating common sealing issues found in stock covers, this billet piece adds both reliability and refinement to your Cummins-powered setup. \u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Fits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 Dodge RAM 2500\/3500 5.9L 24V Cummins \u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for 1998.5–2002 5.9L 24V Cummins engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for factory tappet cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstructed from billet aluminum for increased strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps eliminate oil leaks common with OEM covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRTV sealant required for installation (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for performance applications or engine dress-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProfessional installation recommended for best sealing results\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheck fitment on modified engines or aftermarket head setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  ","brand":"Industrial Injection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68032288817425,"sku":"IIS-PDM-08153","price":402.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0477\/1089\/files\/iispdm-08153_1.jpg?v=1794464524","url":"https:\/\/gautoparts.com\/products\/industrial-pdm-08153-tappet-cover-98-5-02-dodge-5-9l-cummins","provider":"Guaranteed Auto Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
