Construction & Design:
Carrillo’s Pro-H rods are forged from premium 4340 chromoly steel, a material renowned for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to fatigue. The rods undergo a rigorous heat treatment process to maximize toughness and durability. The use of 3/8-inch WMC bolts provides superior clamp load compared to standard bolts, reducing the risk of fastener failure during high-stress operation.
The rods feature a fully machined beam and cap, ensuring precise alignment and balance. Shot peening and stress-relieving treatments further enhance the rods’ ability to withstand repeated high-RPM cycles without deformation or cracking. This meticulous construction guarantees reliability in demanding racing or street performance environments.
Installation & Fitment:
These connecting rods are designed as direct replacements for factory rods in compatible Chrysler and Dodge Hemi engines, requiring no modifications to the block or pistons. Installation should be performed by a qualified engine builder or technician to ensure proper torque specifications and clearances are met. The rods fit a broad range of vehicles including Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models (2003–2025), Dodge Durango (2004–2025), Chrysler 300 (2005–2025), Dodge Magnum (2005–2008), Jeep Grand Cherokee (2005–2025), Dodge Charger (2006–2025), Jeep Commander (2006–2025), and Dodge Challenger (2008–2025).
