Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Cummins K38?
Yes, it was made for the Cummins K38, and 1 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old water pump is marked 3635783 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the water pump on my Cummins K38?
On the Cummins K38, often 5,000 to 10,000 hours with clean fluid, much less with dirt or air in the system. It is usually changed on condition, not by hours.
What are the signs the water pump needs replacing?
Leaks from the seal or weep hole, noise or whining, overheating, or falling pressure or flow under load.
What should I do with the gasket faces?
Clean them right back to metal and fit the new gasket or O-ring dry, unless the engine manual calls for sealant.
Why did the old pump fail?
Most failures come from contamination, cavitation from a restricted inlet, or running low on fluid. Check the inlet and the fluid before fitting the new water pump.
Is this a genuine Cummins 3635783?
No. It is an aftermarket water pump made to replace the Cummins 3635783. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
