Description
Interstate-McBee M-3910248 Bell Housing Adapter Plate Plug – 1989–2002 5.9L Cummins
Direct-fit bell housing adapter plate plug for 1989–2002 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 with 5.9L Cummins (12V & early 24V). Seals the access port on the passenger-side of the adapter plate to keep debris out and provide clean access to torque converter bolts (and barring-tool access for service). Built as an OEM-style aftermarket replacement for Cummins 3910248.
- Purpose-built seal: Closes the bellhousing adapter access hole to protect the flywheel/torque converter area.
- Service access: Allows quick access for torque converter bolt service and barring-tool operations.
- Direct replacement: Matches OEM form, fit, and function for a hassle-free install.
- Includes O-ring: Uses companion O-ring 3910260 for a positive seal (replace if worn).
- Aftermarket value: Interstate-McBee quality at a fraction of OEM cost.

FAQ
Where does this plug install?On the passenger-side of the bellhousing adapter at the back of the engine. It seals the service port used to access torque converter bolts and barring-tool operations.
Will this fit both 12-valve and early 24-valve 5.9L engines?
Yes—listed for 1989–2002 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins applications (12V and early 24V). Verify by ESN for engine swaps or mixed-year trucks.
Do I need a new O-ring?
It’s best practice to install a new O-ring (3910260) any time the plug is replaced to ensure a proper seal.
How does this compare to a genuine Cummins plug?
Interstate-McBee builds to OEM-equivalent dimensions for reliable sealing and service access at a lower cost than the Cummins-boxed 3910248.
