FAQ
HOW MANY OF THESE BANJO BOLTS DOES A 5.9L 12-VALVE USE?
The 5.9L 12-valve Cummins uses six of these banjo bolts on the injector return (leak-off) line—one at each injector location. This listing is for a single genuine Cummins bolt.
WILL THIS FIT MY 1989–1998 DODGE RAM 2500 OR 3500 WITH THE 5.9L CUMMINS?
Yes. Cummins 3905307 is the correct OEM fuel injector return line banjo bolt for 1989–1998 Ram 2500/3500 trucks equipped with the 5.9L 12-valve Cummins. Always confirm fitment by VIN or engine serial number when possible.
IS THIS THE SAME AS A "BANJO CONNECTOR SCREW"?
Yes. Cummins identifies this part as a banjo connector screw. In practice, it functions as the banjo bolt that clamps the return line and sealing washers to the cylinder head or injector housing.
SHOULD I REPLACE THE SEALS AND RETURN LINE AT THE SAME TIME?
It is highly recommended. The banjo seal (washer) and fuel injector return line are exposed to the same heat and vibration as the bolt. For a complete, leak-free repair, pair this bolt with a fresh return line and seals: Cummins 3926103 return line and Cummins 4942278 banjo seal.
IS THIS A GENUINE CUMMINS PART OR AFTERMARKET?
This is a genuine Cummins 3905307 banjo connector screw sourced through CPP Diesel. Using true OEM hardware helps maintain factory sealing, durability, and long-term reliability of your fuel system.
