CUMMINS 3932317 OEM ACCELERATOR LINKAGE / THROTTLE CONTROL ROD – 5.9L 12V (1994–1998)

Product Description

The CUMMINS 3932317 OEM ACCELERATOR LINKAGE / THROTTLE CONTROL ROD is the genuine Cummins control rod that ties your 5.9L 12-valve pedal to the Bosch P7100 pump. If your Ram’s throttle feels sloppy, doesn’t return to idle cleanly, or never seems to hit full fuel, this OE linkage assembly restores crisp, predictable throttle response the way Cummins intended.

Built to Cummins factory specs, this control rod is a direct-fit replacement for 1994–1998 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L 12V applications and is also used on select B-series and non-certified industrial engines where part number 3932317 is called out. It matches the original geometry so you get full pump travel at wide-open throttle while maintaining reliable idle return.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Genuine Cummins OE accelerator linkage / throttle control rod – not a generic copy.
• Restores proper P7100 pump actuation and full-throttle travel on 5.9L 12V trucks.
• Correct rod length and ball-joint ends for smooth, bind-free movement.
• Durable construction to handle heat, vibration, and underhood contaminants.
• Ideal when refreshing the entire throttle linkage on high-mileage 12-valve Cummins engines.

VERIFIED FITMENT

• Automotive: 1994–1998 Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500, 5.9L Cummins 12-Valve (6BT) with Bosch P7100 mechanical injection pump.
• Engine family: Cummins B-Series 5.9L (automotive), plus select non-certified B-series / 3.9L industrial applications where Cummins lists 3932317 as the control rod. Always verify by ESN for non-automotive use.

Does NOT fit 1989–1993 VE-pump trucks or 1998.5–2002 VP44 24-valve or 2003+ common-rail applications.

FAQ

WILL THIS FIT MY 1994–1998 DODGE RAM 5.9L 12-VALVE?

Yes. Cummins 3932317 is the genuine accelerator linkage / throttle control rod for most 1994–1998 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 5.9L 12-valve Cummins and Bosch P7100 pump. Always confirm fitment by VIN or engine serial number if you are unsure.

DOES THIS PART FIT EARLIER (1989–1993) OR LATER (1998.5–2002, 2003+) CUMMINS TRUCKS?

No. VE-pump (’89–’93), VP44 24-valve (’98.5–’02), and common-rail (’03+) applications use different throttle / accelerator systems and rods. This control rod is engineered specifically around the P7100 mechanical pump linkage used on 1994–1998 12-valve trucks.

WHAT ARE COMMON SYMPTOMS OF A WORN OR BENT THROTTLE LINKAGE ROD?

Typical symptoms include sloppy pedal feel, inconsistent idle return, difficulty achieving full throttle at the pump lever, or a truck that will not deliver full fuel even with tuning and fueling mods. In severe cases, a bent or worn rod can bind the linkage or pop off at the ball ends.

WHAT OTHER CUMMINS PARTS SHOULD I INSPECT OR REPLACE AT THE SAME TIME?

When installing 3932317, it’s smart to inspect the rest of the P7100 throttle linkage. Many owners pair this rod with the CUMMINS 3932397 THROTTLE LINKAGE CONTROL ROD, the CUMMINS 3932339 LINKAGE ADJUSTER, the CUMMINS 3990095 ROD END, and the CUMMINS 3914356 LINKAGE CLIP to fully refresh the system.

IS THIS A GENUINE CUMMINS PART OR AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT?

This is a genuine Cummins OEM part, purchased through CPP Diesel’s Cummins supply chain. You get OE-level fit, finish, and durability – ideal for both stock restorations and performance builds that still rely on factory throttle geometry.
