FAQ
Will this fit all 5.9L Cummins years from 1989–2007?It fits applications using a T3 undivided turbo flange, which covers most 5.9L 12V, early ISB, and 2003–2007 common-rail setups. Always confirm your turbo/manifold flange before ordering.
Is this the same as Cummins 3949530?
Yes. Interstate-McBee M-3949530 is an OEM-style replacement for Cummins 3949530.
Is the gasket reusable?
Reuse is not recommended. Replace the gasket any time the turbo or manifold is removed to ensure a proper seal.
Does it also work on 6.7L ISB/QSB engines?
Some Tier 3 6.7L applications use this gasket. Verify by ESN and flange style to confirm compatibility.
T3 vs. T4—how do I know which I have?
T3 uses a 4-bolt rectangular undivided flange common on stock 5.9L setups. T4 is larger and not interchangeable. Check your turbo/manifold part numbers or contact us for help.
