Cummins 3999672 is the heavy duty alternator with a multi groove pulley, cast frame and mounting ears. It is used on Cummins 6BT engines. This aftermarket version has the same mounting and electrical connector as the original, so it plugs in and bolts on where the old one came off.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Will it replace my Cummins 3999672?
Yes, it is a direct replacement for the Cummins 3999672 with the same fitting.
How often should I replace the Cummins 3999672?
Typically 5,000 to 10,000 hours, depending on how often the machine is started and how well the batteries are kept.
What are the signs the alternator needs replacing?
A charge warning, low battery voltage with the engine running, flickering lights or bearing noise.
Do I need to move the pulley or fan?
Check the old unit before you send it away. Pulleys and fans are often fitted to suit the machine and have to be moved across.
What should I check before fitting it?
Battery voltage under load, the earth strap and the main cable. A weak supply makes a good alternator look faulty and will burn out the new one.
Is this a genuine Cummins 3999672?
No. It is an aftermarket alternator made to replace the Cummins 3999672. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
