Once verified, run it to operating temperature and shut down. Do the hot re-torque first, since it changes lash, then adjust valves to .010″ intake \/ .020″ exhaust. Loose lash on the last 3 cylinders traces back to poor lubrication at initial start-up — use assembly lube and confirm oil pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFits These Models\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1998.5–2002 Dodge\/Ram 2500\/3500 5.9L Cummins 24V VP44\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNotes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproved oil required:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15W-40 (or 5W-40 in sub-zero conditions) with adequate zinc, phosphorus and molybdenum — thin or low-additive oils don’t provide the shear strength a flat tappet needs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved oils: Valvoline Full Synthetic 15W-40, Valvoline Synthetic Blend 15W-40, Valvoline All-Terrain 15W-40, Schaeffer’s 15W-40, Mobil Delvac Extreme 15W-40, LIQUI MOLY Touring High Tech 15W-40, Driven Racing Oil 15W-40, Redline 15W-40.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcceptable: Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic 15W-40, Shell Rotella T5 15W-40.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreferred filter: Fleetguard Stratapore LF16035.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRunning a non-approved oil voids the warranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e All warranty claims must include the failed parts and an oil sample.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSKU: 07-CC-OEMVP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eQuestions?
