5.9L Magnum build with questions

I would agree, but this is what it is. I went and checked to see if pistons in Dakota 5.9L Magnums had a different PN from the Ram 5.9L Magnum on the Mopar website and they are the same pistons in both engines. The only thing I can find different is the pistons I have are IC 741R with coated skirts, but the pistons from the article are IC 741 without coatings. I’m not really sure what the difference is. I ordered everything from IMM and they spec’d everything to work together supposedly. I’m brining the flywheel and balancer to the machine shop Monday so I will talk to the machinist to see what he thinks.
