Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) girdel

[SEmerson]

What are the thoughts on the need of a girdel? And where can I get one?

 

[JoeBioDiesel]

Victoria's Secret? Hehe.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Also sorry that I don't have a real answer for you either.

Cummins sells bottom end girdles. Not sure what the numbers are.

Out of curiosity what's the part number?

All 3rd gen trucks come with a "bedplate" adding extra rigidity to the bottom end, I don't know if this is the same thing as a mains girdle or not.

OK guys... So, the girdle I have in my garage is Cummins part ## 3941556, and there's also the bolts - 3907860, 26 qty, and 2 oil pickup gaskets. No pan gasket. .



Digging around a bit, this thing is NOT as expensive as I have been led to believe - $52. 66 for the girdle, and maybe $8 for the bolts... <!> So, heck - if any of you guys that PM'd me are still interested, I'll sell it for $60, shipped. (don't expect FedEx on this deal... !!) Save you some money & hopefully I'll get better Karma than the guy I bought it from is gonna get. . (I'm in it for $80... . )



I got a pic as well... here ya go. .

OK back to being a noob here, but whats this do for the bottom end?

 

[SEmerson]

adds strenth to the main caps. It ties the main cap bolts to the skirt.

A smoother, sleeker, sexier look.

 

[Timebomb]

Looks like it just bolts to the oil pan rails. There are no holes for the mains. Ive been told in was installed as a sound dampner.

We have a new girdle that should be avaiable very soon. This unit is awesome and is degned to work with the ARP main stud kits. The unit is not cheap but should be much better than others out there.
