Product Affected
ISL G CM2180
Description of Change
New steel and aluminum piston kits have been released.
The new steel piston replaces the original aluminum piston for select ISL G CM2180 models.
Reason for Change
Improved piston durability.
Customer Communication
Customers who operate 320 hp engines may experience a reduction in power when cruising at
high rpm.
Service Instructions
CAUTION
Use of an aluminum piston engine control module (ECM ) calibration code in an engine
with steel pistons will create an uncertified engine configuration and can result in
inconsistent and undesirable engine behavior, and possible engine damage.
Note : Some engines with specific control parts lists (CPL) are not able to be converted
to steel pistons at this time and must continue to use aluminum pistons. Reference the
Service Parts section below for more information.

Steel Piston and Aluminum Piston Kit Introduction
For warrantable piston replacements requiring the upgrade of aluminum pistons to steel pistons,
steel piston upgrade kit, Part Number 5472934 or Part Number 5579235, must be used.
Components replaced as directed in this document are not to be inspected for reuse.
Installation of Aluminum Pistons:
See Table 1 for aluminum piston kit part number and kit contents.
See Table 4 for a list of CPLs that must use aluminum pistons.
Conversion from Aluminum Pistons to Steel Pistons:
See Table 2 below for steel piston part numbers and steel piston upgrade kit contents.
See Steel Piston Installation Instruction, Bulletin 5414627, supplied with the steel piston
upgrade kit.
See Table 3 for a list of CPLs that are required to use the steel piston upgrade kit when being
converted from aluminum to steel pistons.
Except for the upper and lower gasket kits, all parts in the steel piston upgrade kit must be
used during the conversion from aluminum pistons. Gaskets that are not required for the
repair of the engine, such as the rear main seal may be discarded.
When changing from aluminum to steel pistons, an updated ECM calibration code must be
installed. Reference Tables 5 through 9 for ECM calibration code information.
When changing from the CM2180 ECM to the CM2380 ECM an updated ECM calibration
code must be installed. Reference Tables 5 through 9 for ECM calibration code information.
When changing from aluminum to steel pistons, the CPL number will change.
The CM2380 ECM requires that the OEM Amber Check Engine Lamp, Red Stop Engine
Lamp, and Low Fuel Pressure Lamp circuits be the same voltage as the ECM supply voltage
(12 VDC). When changing from a CM2180 to CM2380 ECM the engine lamp circuits must
operate at 12 volts. Some vehicles with 24 volt electrical systems will need to be modified so
that lamp circuit voltage measured at the OEM connector is the same as the ECM supply
voltage. Failure to do so will result in erroneous engine lamp behavior.
The CM2380 ECM does not support J1708 datalink communication. Vehicles that require
J1708 communications will need to install a J1708 to J1939 translator.
Upon completion of the conversion from aluminum to steel pistons, an authorized change
label, Part Number 5297400 must be completed and installed on the engine. See Figure 1
below.
