Rod Bearing - 5.9L Cummins Diesel 89-02

The Rod Bearing - 5.9L Cummins Diesel 89-02 is a critical internal engine component designed for the 5.9L Cummins diesel engines produced between 1989 and 2002. This bearing is essential for maintaining the proper function of the crankshaft in various applications, including trucks and marine vessels. A worn or damaged rod bearing can lead to severe engine failure, making timely replacement crucial for any diesel operator.

Manufactured by MAHLE ORIGINAL/CLEVITE under part number CB1413V, this rod bearing features a precision-molded bimetallic construction, consisting of a thin layer of copper-lead alloy bonded to a steel backing. This design allows the bearing to conform slightly to the crankshaft journal while maintaining stability under high RPMs. The construction ensures consistent oil film thickness and metal-to-metal separation during operation.

Diesel operators performing in-frame engine rebuilds or rod bearing replacements will find this bearing compatible with Dodge Ram, Freightliner, and other platforms utilizing the 5.9L Cummins engine block. Its reliable performance makes it an essential component for maintaining engine health and efficiency in demanding conditions.
