FAQs

Q1: What’s the difference between Cross Head and Articulated pistons?
Cross Head pistons are one-piece designs ideal for high-load applications. They’re typically used in older DDEC 2 & 3 engines, while newer versions may use articulated pistons for thermal efficiency.

Q2: Will this kit work for a DDEC IV engine?
No. This specific kit is tailored for DDEC II and DDEC III ECMs. For DDEC IV applications, use HDKits SKU 23532554.

Q3: Can I use this kit for an out-of-frame rebuild?
This kit is best suited for inframe overhauls. For full out-of-frame rebuilds, you may need additional components like crank seals, oil pumps, and front/rear covers.
