MPN: 3914868 | Also Known As: vacuum pump delete plate, power steering pump block-off plate, accessory drive cover plate
Cleanly seal the vacuum-pump opening on your B-Series.

- Prevents oil leaks during vacuum-pump delete conversions.
- Flat, rigid stamping/casting maintains flange flatness under clamp load.
- Pairs with OE gasket for reliable sealing (see “Often Paired With”).
- Genuine Cummins quality and fitment.

Custom/Swap notes: XDP lists this plate specifically for 1994–2002 Dodge 5.9L; the commonly paired gasket (Cummins 3008400) is cataloged for 1989–2002, which is why some sellers mention earlier trucks—verify by VIN/ESN on pre-’94 builds.

FAQ

Yes—this OE plate is listed for ’94–’02 5.9L applications when deleting the vacuum pump.
DO I NEED A GASKET?

DOES THIS WORK ON 1989–1993 TRUCKS?
Many catalogs show the gasket through 1989–2002. For pre-’94 trucks using this plate in custom builds, confirm by VIN/ESN and gear-housing style before ordering.
