Applications & use cases
Low oil pressure
A warning light or low gauge reading with the right oil level and a good sender often means a worn oil pump.
Engine rebuilds
Fit a new oil pump whenever the engine is rebuilt or the bearings are changed. Worn gears undo a fresh rebuild.
Noise from the bottom end
Rattles at start-up while the pressure builds are a sign the pump is not priming quickly enough.
Fitting tips
Prime the pump with clean oil, fit new gaskets and O rings, and check the pickup screen before closing up.

Frequently asked questions
What oil pump does the Cummins 6CT8.3 take?
This one, the aftermarket replacement for Cummins 3991123. It also fits the L8.9 engines. Check the number on your old oil pump against the cross reference table before you order.
How often should I replace the oil pump on my Cummins 6CT8.3?
On the Cummins 6CT8.3, 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 oil 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 oil pump.
Is this a genuine Cummins 3991123?
No. It is an aftermarket oil pump made to replace the Cummins 3991123. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
