FAQ
Will this fit my 1989–1998 12-valve 5.9L Cummins?Yes. M-3903463 cross-references Cummins 3903463 and is used on 1989–1998 Dodge Ram 5.9L 12-valve applications. Verify by ESN if components were swapped.
Is the seal included?
No. The cover and seal are separate. Use 3903475 as the matching seal/O-ring.
Where does this part install?
It closes the gear/timing housing access port, helping keep contaminants out while preserving service access.
What about 1998.5–2002 or 2003+ trucks?
Late-1998.5–2002 24-valve and 2003+ common-rail engines often use different covers. For 2003–2018 CP3 applications, reference Cummins 4935281.
Any torque spec?
Hand-tighten/seat per Cummins service manual. Do not over-tighten plastic or composite covers.
