Installation Notes
- Work on a cool engine and relieve fuel system pressure before loosening any lines.
- Route the new line exactly like the original; do not attempt to re-bend or twist the tube.
- Start all flare nuts by hand to avoid cross-threading, then torque to factory spec per Cummins service manual.
- Keep all connections surgically clean – cap open ports to keep debris out of the fuel system.
- After installation, prime the system and inspect for leaks at idle and again after warm-up.

FAQ
WILL THIS FIT MY 1998.5–2002 5.9L 24-VALVE RAM?
Yes. Cummins 3943771 is the OE high-pressure fuel injection line for cylinder #4 on 1998.5–2002 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 trucks equipped with the 5.9L ISB 24V Cummins and VP44 injection pump. Always confirm by VIN/ESN if components have been changed.
WHICH CYLINDER DOES PART NUMBER 3943771 SERVE?
This line is dedicated to cylinder #4. Each cylinder uses its own unique, pre-bent hard line – do not swap positions between cylinders.
CAN I REPLACE JUST THE #4 LINE OR SHOULD I DO ALL SIX?
You can replace only the failed #4 line, but it’s smart to inspect all six lines and the line clamps for corrosion, rubbing, or fatigue. If several lines show wear, consider replacing the full set (#1–#6) to prevent future leaks.
IS THIS A GENUINE CUMMINS PART OR AFTERMARKET?
This is a genuine Cummins OEM component with factory-correct tube forming and flare geometry. It is not a generic aftermarket substitute.
DO I NEED TO RE-BEND OR MODIFY THIS LINE FOR INSTALLATION?
No. The line is pre-bent to OE geometry. Do not re-bend or kink the tube – misalignment can lead to stress fractures, poor sealing, and repeat failures. If it doesn’t line up, double-check routing and engine configuration.
