Upgrade your 1998.5-2024 Dodge Ram 5.9L/6.7L Diesel with the XDP X220 Series Head Stud Kit XD3010HS. Upgrading the OEM head bolts is a must when adding horsepower and torque to your diesel-powered Ram 2500/3500.

The factory head bolts typically can't handle the additional pressure from high-performance applications which can lead to the cylinder head lifting. Upgrading to these XDP head studs helps to keep cylinder head locked down and avoid head gasket failures. Constructed using an 8740 Chromoly Steel with an added proprietary element ensures these studs are more durable and will not stretch like the stock bolts.

The threads are rolled after heat-treating to deliver optimum fatigue strength. These studs are rated at 205,000+ psi yield strength and 225,000+ psi tensile strength to ensure a strong hold under higher combustion pressures.

In addition to the upgraded strength, replacing the head bolts with studs also allows you to obtain a more precise torque reading. A bolt gets twisted as it is tightened, so it's reacting to two different forces at the same time.

With a head stud the force gets applied to the vertical axis, resulting in a more even clamping force. Studs can also ensure proper alignment of the cylinder heads every time and provide for easier engine assembly.

Unlike the OEM Torque-To-Yield (TTY) bolts which must be replaced after each use, these studs are reusable which makes them a must have for high-performance applications. Kit includes 12-point nuts, washers, and installation instructions. Assembly lubricant sold separately.

Features:

  • Includes Washers & 12 Point Nuts
  • Yield Strength 205K psi - 215K psi
  • Tensile Strength 225K psi - 233K psi
  • Will Not Stretch Like The Factory Bolts
  • Thread Has Been Rolled After Heat Treatment
  • High-Strength 8740 Chromoly Steel Construction
  • 10mm Studs Test Out At A Max Load: Over 120KN
  • Studs Are Reusable, Unlike Torque-To-Yield (TTY) Bolts Which Much Be Replaced After Each Use

XDP Thread Cleaning Chasers (Sold Separately):
The XD40125TC is a great add-on that will be critical during installation. Thread Cleaning Chasers are an excellent tool to have on-hand to ensure you have properly cleaned the threads in your engine block before the installation of any fasteners. Clean threads provide accurate torque readings and will help give you peace of mind during your engine build or head gasket repair.

XDP X-TRA Slick Engine & Fastener Assembly Lubricant (Sold Separately):
The use of XD541 is highly recommended during engine assembly. Apply XDP X-TRA Slick Lubricant to head studs, head bolts, main studs, main bolts, connecting rod bolts, and any other fasteners used during engine assembly.

Using a proper assembly lubricant during fastener installation reduces friction and torque pre-load scatter in the torquing sequence, while also helping to prevent thread galling and seizing.

Customer photo review of FSD 03-09 Dodge Cummins Billet Heat Exchanger

The billet heat exchanger looks great and is machined nicely. No worries about an internal failure allowing fluids to mix. It seems to be doing its job. It's more robust than the factory style cooler but I don’t believe it is quite as efficient based on warm up times I’m seeing. My only gripe is the bracket mounting bolts, they thread directly onto the cooler instead of passing all the way through and securing with nuts. Make sure to use thread locker along with the lock washers. As a rough guide, torque for M8 fasteners in aluminum should be 11-15 ft lbs, no torque spec is listed for the mounting hardware in the instructions.

Customer photo review of FSD 2003-2007 Dodge Cummins Heater Hose Kit Black Braided

It’s not bad, I was in a bind and needed a quick fix to get my truck back going. So first things first, the kit works. You can get rid of the steel lines and these will take their place. With about an hour and a half and a little research it doesn’t take much to get these hoses installed. However, I have some gripes about this kit. 1. You have to be very careful about how the lines are run to prevent the hose from kinking. 2. There are no p clamps or hardware included to hold the lines in place. To improve this kit, I’d toss some hose clamps, a couple bolts with some p clamps to hold the hose, maybe a couple pictures on where to run things too, or even total install instructions. Stiffer hose would be good too, in my pictures you can see that the hose going to the front of the engine is trying to kink as it makes the bend to run beside the turbo.

Customer photo review of Kingspeed Billet Front Cover 94-02

It came with no gaskets this item deff needs to be sold with cover gasket as well as the seal for the crank even a plug for the vent or a fitting to hook a tube to the vent. Didn’t come with shit but bolts. Now I got to track everything else down seperatly makes it a pain in the ass. At this point I’d rather have stayed stock

Customer photo review of FSD 2010-2012 Dodge Cummins Factory Replacement Transmission Line Kit Black Braided

I installed them when I built my transmission. Hoses are good quality but fittings felt kind of cheap. Not a bad kit at all. I’d recommend it to anyone. Substantial trans temp difference after putting them on. My trans runs a lot cooler now that I’ve bypassed the heat exchanger. 2012 ram 2500 with 68rfe. 9/10 would recommend. Just be gentle with the fittings

Customer photo review of FSD 03-09 Dodge Cummins Elite Drop-In Transmission Cooler Kit

I installed this cooler and a few weeks later got into a wreck that was able to damn near total my truck, the frame is bent in 4 places and it shifted my ranch and bumper a foot. This cooler was the only radiator that survived everything else was destroyed and wrapped around the cooler. I called customer support and was able to order new stainless steel brackets and this cooler will live again. I’m very impressed with the quality and strength of this part and would gladly buy it for another truck.

Customer photo review of Kingspeed 06-Current Dodge Ram Billet Budget Builder Valve Cover

I love the product. I am just upset that it wasn’t clear it doesn’t come with any hardware. I currently have no clue what barb fittings and hose sizes I need to get for the valve cover to my catch can. I am currently using a hardware store setup as this is my first Cummins and my first quality build of a truck. If there’s anyway you could assist me or point me in the right direction that would be awesome. Aside from that I’ve had nothing but compliments on it, I actually won top 10 truck and SCT x GFP in Nashville a few weeks back. Everyone including myself love the valve cover.

Customer photo review of XDP Wrinkle Black HD High Output Alternator 1999-2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke XD356

Had this thing for just over a month now. My 7.3 had the small housing alternator from factory so I needed to use the spacers. Using the spacers makes the belt slightly harder to get back on so I would recommend going up 1/2" on the belt size. Otherwise I have no issue, powers the truck just fine for the last 1000 miles.
