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
Will it fit my Cummins 4BT 3.9?
Yes, it was made for the Cummins 4BT 3.9, and 3 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old oil pump is marked 5346492 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the oil pump on my Cummins 4BT 3.9?
On the Cummins 4BT 3.9, 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.
Should I prime it before starting?
Yes. Fill the pump and its suction line with clean fluid before the first start. Running it dry, even for a few seconds, can score it.
Is this a genuine Cummins 5346492?
No. It is an aftermarket oil pump made to replace the Cummins 5346492. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
