Product Description
CUMMINS 3934303 OEM ENGINE OIL FILTER HOUSING (OIL FILTER HEAD) – RAM 5.9L (1998.5–2002)
The genuine CUMMINS 3934303 OEM engine oil filter housing is the exact replacement oil filter head used on 1998.5–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 5.9L 24-valve Cummins. This factory-engineered assembly provides the correct routing of engine oil pressure, filtration flow, and oil sensor porting—critical to protecting your 5.9L from premature wear, lubrication loss, and contamination. If your existing filter head is cracked, leaking, or stripped where the filter threads mount, replacing it with a real Cummins OEM part ensures reliability and proper oil pressure readings.
Designed to meet exact Cummins specifications, this oil filter head integrates seamlessly with the OE oil cooler, sealing surfaces, oil filter standpipe, and pressure sensor. It also serves as a mounting location for several critical lubrication components. Pair with the correct oil filter, gaskets, and pressure sensor to complete a full front-end engine lubrication refresh.
