Description
The Beans Diesel 210311 Bean Machine Billet Aluminum Gridlock Girdle Kit strengthens the bottom end of 2003–2018 Dodge Ram Cummins engines by tying the main caps and block together with a precision‑engineered billet aluminum girdle. Designed to address fitment and durability issues found in other girdles, it increases the rigidity of the main caps using dowel pins and preload set screws to reduce cap walk, bending, and bowing under high load, while providing a lightweight yet robust reinforcement that does not interfere with the oil pan.
Features:
- Billet aluminum gridlock girdle for reinforced engine bottom end
- Locks main caps in place with precision dowel pins
- Preload set screws apply clamping force to prevent cap flex under extreme loads
- Uses every available bolt point to tie the block together
- Thicker construction for superior tensile strength and reduced weight compared to many competitors
- Press‑fit steel inserts prevent stud nut compression into the aluminum girdle
- O‑ring seal ensures a tight fit against the block surface Bolt‑on design with no oil pan modification required
