Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Cummins M11?
Yes, it was made for the Cummins M11, and 2 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old water pump is marked 4972857 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the water pump on my Cummins M11?
On the Cummins M11, 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.
Should I change the coolant and thermostat too?
If the coolant is old or dirty, yes. Worn coolant is the usual cause of seal failure, and a new pump in old coolant fails the same way.
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.
Is this a genuine Cummins 4972857?
No. It is an aftermarket water pump made to replace the Cummins 4972857. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
