Solid Lifters for 2019+

Been doing some digging and someone (Wagler) is finally offering a solid roller lifter conversion for 2019+ trucks.

It uses the factory ISB adjustable rockers, but just replaces the internals of the hydraulic lifter with a solid spacer. EDIT: Also uses custom pushrods as 2019 uses different ball on lifter and different length.

Seems like a permanent solution for when the hydraulic lifters go bad.

it's just the same general issues that come with hydraulic lifters.

if you have fb, this is a good video...

Hopefully this will explain a little of what we have available and what’s coming to fix those 2019+ Cummins lifter noises. Several calls coming in daily... | By Wagler Competition Products | Facebook

you'd have lifter failure before a pushrod took a dump, generally speaking, under normal consumer conditions.

I thought they had a true solid lifter upgrade, as well as the spacer / internals swap kit...

Im not sure if we can use flat tappets if they changed the cam to a typical roller lobe style you would need to change the whole cam to run flat tappet lifters

that cam wear is shocking. seriously.

I'd do the upgrade since you're literally balls deep anyway.

appreciate the documentation.

no doubt... they all have issues. cam blank softness issues wasn't one of them, though.

that whole lifter difference in the build and detail is so odd.

yup, wasn't sure how the lifter would affect the overall noise, with the other enhancements for nvh with the cgi block.
