Installation Notes
- Work surgically clean—any contamination in a common-rail system can damage injectors.
- Route the line exactly like OE; do not bend, kink, or pre-load the tube.
- Start all tube nuts by hand to avoid cross-threading, then torque to factory spec.
- After installation, prime the fuel system and check for leaks at idle and under load.
- Replacing disturbed connector tubes, seals, and tube nuts is strongly recommended.
FAQ
WILL THIS FIT MY 2003–2007 5.9L CUMMINS RAM?
Yes—Cummins 3957081 is the OE high-pressure fuel line for cylinder #1 on most 2003–2007 Ram 2500/3500 5.9L ISB common-rail trucks. Always verify by VIN or Cummins ESN if the fuel system has been modified.
IS THIS THE RAIL-TO-INJECTOR LINE OR THE CONNECTOR TUBE?
This part is the rail-to-injector high-pressure line for cylinder #1. The internal injector connector tube and its nut/seals are separate parts and should be inspected and replaced as needed.
CAN I REUSE MY OLD HIGH-PRESSURE LINE?
Reuse is not recommended. High-pressure lines can work-harden, crack, or develop sealing-cone damage from vibration and repeated torque cycles. Whenever a line is removed for injector or rail service, Cummins recommends replacement.
WHAT ARE THE PART NUMBERS FOR THE OTHER CYLINDERS?
For 2003–2007 5.9L ISB common-rail, the typical OE Cummins line part numbers are: #1 – 3957081 (this part), #2 – 4988810, #3 – 4988809, #4 – 5289447, #5 – 4988807, #6 – 4988806. Always confirm by ESN before mixing components.
IS THIS A GENUINE CUMMINS PART?
Yes—this is a genuine Cummins fuel injection line sourced through CPP Diesel, with factory-correct geometry and tube material for long-term reliability.
