Year RangeEngineChassis
1989–1993 5.9L 12-Valve B-Series (VE) Dodge Ram 2500/3500

Industrial/Off-Highway: Used primarily on early Tier-1 B3.9/QSB5.9 applications. Always confirm by Engine Serial Number (ESN) and nozzle length.

Compatibility Notes:

  • Early engines may use the short style (~3/4") while later 12V/24V engines often use a different nozzle. Verify length and ESN.
  • If switching to larger-orifice aftermarket jets, consider an updated oil pump to maintain oil pressure.

Often Paired With

  • Engine oil pump (upgrade as needed): maintain oil pressure with higher-flow jets
  • Gaskets/seals disturbed during teardown
  • Fresh oil & filter after rebuild

What’s In The Box

  • (1) Genuine Cummins Piston Cooling Nozzle (3901020)
  • Sold individually (order 6 for a complete set)

Install Tips

  • Verify nozzle length/orientation and clearances during assembly.
  • Use threadlocker or new fasteners where specified; torque per Cummins procedure.
  • Prime the oil system and check for leaks after first start.

FAQ

WILL THIS FIT MY 1989–1993 5.9L 12V RAM?

Common early 12V fit (1989–1993). Confirm by ESN and nozzle length (short style) before ordering.

HOW MANY DO I NEED?

Six nozzles per engine—one per cylinder. This part is sold individually.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHORT AND LONG NOZZLES?

Early engines used a short (~3/4") style; later engines may use a longer design. Always match length to your ESN and piston/rod configuration.

IS THIS A GENUINE CUMMINS PART?

Yes—OE Cummins 3901020. Cross-references like M-3901020 or FP-3901020 indicate aftermarket equivalents.

DO I NEED TO UPGRADE THE OIL PUMP?

If you move to larger-orifice aftermarket jets, an updated pump is recommended to sustain oil pressure; with OE nozzles, follow factory specs.
