The Hamilton 07-C-OEM-VP is an OEM replacement camshaft for 1998.5-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 5.9L 24 Valve Cummins and VP44 injection pump. It preserves the exact factory lift and duration profile - maintaining stock drivability, idle quality, and power delivery - with a wider lobe design built to improve long-term durability and reduce wear at the cam lobe surface. No tuning is required.

Buy this if...

Your 1998.5-2002 VP44-equipped 5.9L 24 Valve Cummins needs a stock-spec camshaft replacement for a reliable daily driver or stock rebuild
You want factory drivability and idle quality preserved with improved lobe durability over the original cam

Do not choose this if...

Your truck is a 2003 or newer 5.9L or any 6.7L Cummins - this cam is specifically for the 1998.5-2002 VP44 application only
Your goal is added low-end torque, towing improvement, or performance - see the Hamilton 178/208 or 188/220 cam options instead
Your delivery address is in California

Verify before ordering...

Engine is a 1998.5-2002 5.9L 24 Valve Cummins with the VP44 injection pump - not a common rail application
Delivery address is outside California

Stock Rebuild or Performance Upgrade - Which Is Right?

The Hamilton 07-C-OEM-VP is a stock-spec replacement built for the 1998.5-2002 VP44 24 Valve Cummins - not a performance upgrade. It matches the factory lift and duration profile exactly, so drivability, idle, and the factory power curve stay intact. The wider lobe design improves durability at the cam lobe surface compared to the original, without altering valve timing or increasing valvetrain stress.

Buy this for a stock rebuild or reliable daily driver restore on a VP44 24 Valve truck. If your goal is improved low-end towing response, high-altitude efficiency, or added performance headroom, the Hamilton 178/208 or 188/220 are the correct cam choices for that build. No tuning is required with the 07-C-OEM-VP. Confirm the VP44 fitment matches, then this is the correct cam to order.

Avoid These Common Mistakes

Ordering for a 2003 or Newer Cummins:
The 07-C-OEM-VP fits the 1998.5-2002 VP44-equipped 5.9L only. The 2003 and newer 5.9L and all 6.7L Cummins use a different application. Verify the injection pump type and model year before ordering.

Choosing this cam for a performance build: The 07-C-OEM-VP is a stock-profile replacement - if towing improvement, altitude performance, or power gains are the goal, the Hamilton 178/208 or 188/220 are the correct alternatives
Assuming this fits all 24 Valve Cummins: This cam is specific to the VP44 injection pump application (1998.5-2002) - common rail trucks require a different part

Frequently Asked Questions

Click or tap a question below to expand the answer.

Will the Hamilton 07-C-OEM-VP fit my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L Cummins?

Yes. The 07-C-OEM-VP fits the 1998.5-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 5.9L 24 Valve Cummins and VP44 injection pump - your 2001 application is within that range. Confirm your truck has the VP44 injection pump before ordering, as 2003 and newer trucks use the common rail system and require a different camshaft.

Is the Hamilton 07-C-OEM-VP a stock replacement or a performance cam?

It is a stock replacement. The 07-C-OEM-VP matches the exact factory lift and duration profile of the original camshaft, preserving stock drivability, idle quality, and the factory power curve. The wider lobe design improves durability at the cam lobe surface compared to the original, but the valve timing characteristics remain unchanged. No tuning is required.

Does the Hamilton 07-C-OEM-VP fit a 2003 or newer 5.9L Cummins?

No. The 07-C-OEM-VP is confirmed for the 1998.5-2002 VP44-equipped 5.9L 24 Valve Cummins only. The 2003 and newer 5.9L and all 6.7L Cummins applications use the common rail injection system and require a different camshaft. Verify your injection pump type and model year before ordering.

Can I order the Hamilton 07-C-OEM-VP if I live in California?

Yes, California residents can purchase this camshaft, but it cannot be shipped to a California delivery address. You must provide an eligible out-of-state delivery address at checkout.

Does the Hamilton 07-C-OEM-VP require new valve springs or tappets?

The source does not specify valve spring or tappet requirements for the 07-C-OEM-VP. Since this is a stock-profile replacement, verify your existing valvetrain components are in serviceable condition before installation. If you are planning a full valvetrain refresh, visit the Hamilton Cams Authority Hub for matched component recommendations.
