Ram 2500 Piston
In Ram 2500 vehicles the piston is a critical component as it helps in the conversion of energy from the burned fuel into mechanical work, which makes the vehicle moves. This semi-circular component forms part of the internal combustion engine of the Ram 2500 and oscillates within the cylinder block to push the forces of expanding gaseous media to the crankshaft. In the past years, Ram 2500 piston has undergone through the mechanism design to suit different performance requirements. Firstly, the conventional trunk pistons applicable to both the petrol as well as diesel engine designs were used that maximize forces in side directions and provide the functionality of an oil ring which allows lubrication of the piston. But as the technology and performance features got better, the Ram 2500 started using other types of pistons such as slipper pistons in its high speed units so as to help reduce the weight and improve the balance and effectiveness of these pistons. In those models, which have to provide a high level of performance even under extreme loads, such as racing or heavy towing, special racing pistons, which are made as lightweight as possible, but at the same time are very strong, are used. These pistons are aligned to High RPM and temperature of all Ram 2500 models guaranteeing maximum durability and optimum engine performance.

Ram 2500 Piston Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and inspect piston/connecting rod assemblies on Ram 2500?A: Make sure that there are no ridges at the upper limits of ring travel before you take out the piston/rod assemblies; if there are, get rid of them. Position the Crankshaft upwards to turn on the engine. In case they exist, use feeler gauges to measure connecting rod endplay and refer to an automotive machine shop. Note down all connecting rods and caps for identification purposes. Loosen (the bolts or nuts) that connect the cap to the bearing insert and retaining it in place. Push out the assembly of rod/piston through top of the engine. Repeat for remaining cylinders Reinstall connecting rod caps by inserting bearing inserts and finger tightening cap bolts or nuts The pistons with their respective connecting rods can now be inspected and overhauled Check end gaps of new piston rings prior to their installation Arrange all piston/rod assemblies together with new rings Put top ring into first cylinder and measure gap using a feeler gauge Adjust width as required Do likewise for every ring in every cylinder Having established/corrected end gaps, position rings onto pistons Install oil control ring first into number three, number two and then number one before mounting other rings Be sure that cylinder walls are clean, chamfered at each bore's top edge number one rod cap is removed from its end Clean surfaces carrying bearings on its face Lower and upper bearing inserts are inserted into a cap Insert piston/ring assembly through it until it reaches a point where fuel injectors align Apply lubrication to surfaces between piston rings Pour some clean engine oil onto these parts Attach compressor onto this piston Repeat above steps starting from zero Journal 1 lowermost point after applying oil between liners very gently slide this entire assembly within cylinder 1 keeping tapping upper side so as to guide it correctly next examine clearance regarding bearing oil of connecting rod before fixing permanently Plastigage will help in determining whether adjustments for clearance should be made Clean bearing faces or apply grease or lube Insert rod back onto journal and bolt cap on before tightening nuts/bolts until torque requirements Match all the other pistons/rods Do a manual rotation of crankshaft in ascertaining this. Finally, recheck connecting rod endplay.
