The rear cylinders on the 5.9\/6.7L Cummins suffer from a lack of coolant flow, and therefore, experience the highest coolant temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis can cause excessive pressure to build in the cooling system, especially the rear of the block and blow out freeze plugs externally, or the smaller diameter plugs under the valve cover, leading to a failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur coolant bypass kit adds a secondary thermostat, that unlike other brands, works based on temperature instead of excessive pressure.
