Product Description
CUMMINS 3925234 OEM BELL HOUSING COVER PLATE – RAM 5.9L (1989–2002)
The genuine CUMMINS 3925234 OEM bell housing cover plate is the factory-designed protective plate that shields the flywheel, flexplate, and torque converter area on 1989–2002 5.9L Cummins engines. This durable steel cover prevents road debris, mud, and contaminants from entering the bell housing—a critical barrier that helps prevent starter damage, clutch contamination, and premature wear of internal rotating components.
If your original cover plate is missing, bent, or corroded, replacing it with a true Cummins OEM component ensures the correct alignment, thickness, and fitment needed to keep the bell housing properly sealed. Whether you're servicing the transmission, replacing the starter, or restoring a worn drivetrain, this is the exact plate your 5.9L Cummins was built with from the factory.
