5.9L Short Block Workhorse 1998.5-2000 Cummins Dodge Diesel Engine Choate Performance

The “Workhorse” model is specifically designed for the working man who requires maximum durability and reliability for regular heavy hauling and strenuous towing. It offers high-output performance, rated for 600+ HP capability, delivering significant power over stock for demanding applications. It features a fully balanced rotating assembly for smooth, vibration-free operation and extended bearing life at high RPMs. Upgrades include coated, fly-cut, and delipped pistons, and a Stage 2 Cam for enhanced strength. Each engine undergoes extensive, precision machine work to correct OEM flaws, including CNC blueprint machining for perfect dimensions, precise tolerances, and optimal alignment. This includes decking the surface of the block, diamond honing cylinders, line honing main bearing bores, and boring cylinder bores to a true 90-degree angle from the crankshaft centerline. The rotational assembly is balanced by checking and correcting the balance of the crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons.
