Cummins SD-008A2 is the 24 volt fuel shutoff solenoid with a mounting bracket, grey moulded boot, adjustable linkage rod with clip, and a black three pin plug on a sleeved lead. 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.
The same part is also sold as 3974947 and D59-105-06.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Applications & use cases
Engine will not start or will not stop
A failed fuel shutoff solenoid holds the fuel off (no start) or will not cut it (no stop). Check power at the plug first.
Engine cuts out
A weak pull-in or hold coil lets the solenoid drop out under vibration and the engine stalls.
Sticking plunger
Dirt and corrosion stop the plunger moving freely. Replacing the solenoid is quicker than freeing an old one.
Fleet spares
A spare solenoid on the van turns a no-start into a quick fix on site.

Frequently asked questions
Will it replace my Cummins SD-008A2?
Yes, it is a direct replacement for the Cummins SD-008A2 with the same fitting.
How often should I replace the Cummins SD-008A2?
There is no fixed interval. It is changed when it fails, and many fail from water in the plug or chafed wiring rather than wear.
What are the signs the solenoid needs replacing?
A fault code for this circuit, readings that jump or stay fixed, or a part that does not respond with power at the plug.
Does the voltage matter?
Yes. Many machines have 12 V and 24 V versions of the same solenoid. Check the old part or the machine plate before fitting.
Do the fault codes need clearing?
Usually. Clear them after fitting and run the machine, so old codes are not mistaken for a new fault.
Is this a genuine Cummins SD-008A2?
No. It is an aftermarket solenoid made to replace the Cummins SD-008A2. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
