Description

The Choate Performance Engineering 5.9L 2003-2004 Cummins Short Block Daily Driver Dodge Diesel Crate Engine (CEP59CSD0304M) is a remanufactured engine designed for spirited daily driving, consumer-level towing, and everyday use, rated for 500+ HP capability. It features a fully balanced rotating assembly and upgraded, stronger pistons to address OEM issues of weak pistons prone to cracking under heat and boost. The engine undergoes extensive CNC blueprint machining for precise dimensions and optimal alignment, including decking, diamond honing cylinders, line honing main bearing bores, and boring cylinder bores. The rotational assembly is dynamically balanced for longevity and minimized stress. This engine is compatible with 2003-2004 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models with a 5.9L Cummins Diesel engine and manual transmission.
