CUMMINS 3923016 OEM CLIP – OIL LEVEL (DIPSTICK) TUBE – RAM 5.9L 12-VALVE (1994–1998)

Product Description

The Cummins 3923016 OEM Oil Level (Dipstick) Tube Clip is the factory-correct retainer used to secure the dipstick tube on 1994–1998 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 models equipped with the 5.9L 12-Valve Cummins. This clip ensures proper tube positioning, vibration control, and long-term sealing integrity. A worn or missing clip can cause dipstick misalignment, rattling, or oil residue near the mounting surface, making this genuine Cummins replacement essential for proper engine bay fitment.

Unlike generic clips or improvised fasteners, the 3923016 is engineered specifically for the 12-valve Cummins dipstick tube diameter and mounting bracket location, delivering a perfect OE fit every time.

FAQ

What does the Cummins 3923016 dipstick tube clip do?

It securely retains the oil dipstick tube in its mounting location, preventing vibration, rattling, or tube movement during operation.

Is this clip required for proper dipstick tube sealing?

Yes. If the tube is not properly supported, the O-ring seal can shift or wear prematurely, leading to oil seepage.

Does this clip fit 24-valve 5.9L engines?

No. This specific clip is for 1994–1998 12-Valve 6BT engines only.

Can I reuse my old clip?

Often the original clip becomes fatigued or bent from engine vibration. Replacing it is recommended for secure retention.
