Mishimoto Titanium Turbo Blanket

1996–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500 5.9L Diesel

Part #: MMTB-RAM-96

Overview

The Mishimoto Titanium Turbo Blanket is a precision-engineered heat shield designed specifically for the 1996–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with the 5.9L Cummins diesel engine. This turbo blanket insulates the turbocharger’s hot side, effectively reducing excessive heat in the engine bay. By retaining heat within the turbocharger housing, it promotes faster spool times and maintains consistent turbo performance, enhancing both reliability and power delivery.

Ideal for diesel enthusiasts, daily drivers, and heavy-duty users alike, this turbo blanket addresses the critical challenge of managing the intense heat generated by turbochargers. It helps lower intake air temperatures and prevents heat soak, which can degrade engine efficiency and performance over time.

Key Features

Crafted from advanced materials and designed for a direct fit, the Mishimoto Titanium Turbo Blanket offers superior heat management and durability. Key features include:

• Interior layer rated to withstand temperatures up to 2,300°F (1,260°C)
• Outer layer constructed from volcanic lava rock and titanium woven fabric for exceptional heat resistance
• High-silica fabric and stainless-steel mesh inner layer for maximum durability and heat retention
• Stainless-steel fastening buttons that resist corrosion and ensure secure installation
• Includes stainless-steel wire and springs for versatile and reliable mounting options
• Direct fit for the stock turbocharger on 1996–2002 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins engines

Construction & Design

The Mishimoto Titanium Turbo Blanket features a multi-layer construction engineered to withstand extreme temperatures while maintaining structural integrity. The outer layer combines volcanic lava rock with titanium woven fabric, providing a robust shield against radiant heat exceeding 1,760°F (960°C). Beneath this, the inner layer utilizes high-silica fabric reinforced with stainless-steel mesh, capable of enduring temperatures over 2,300°F (1,260°C).

This advanced combination of materials traps heat within the turbocharger housing to improve spool efficiency while protecting surrounding engine bay components from heat damage. The stainless-steel fastening buttons and included wire springs ensure a corrosion-resistant, secure fit that holds up under demanding driving conditions.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Mishimoto Titanium Turbo Blanket is straightforward and requires no permanent modifications. Designed as a direct fit for the stock turbocharger on 1996–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 Cummins 5.9L models, it easily wraps around the turbo’s hot side and secures with the included stainless-steel springs and wire. This ensures a snug fit that remains secure through daily driving, towing, and off-road use.

The blanket installs quickly with basic hand tools and minimal mechanical experience, making it an accessible upgrade for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts.
