SPM-HEP-4671 is the 28 V, 45 A alternator with a multi groove poly V pulley, two mounting ears and rear output studs. It is used on Cummins 4BT 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.
It replaces Cummins 4988377 and Cummins 5331999.
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 fit my Cummins 4BT?
Yes, it was made for the Cummins 4BT, and 2 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old alternator is marked 4988377 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the alternator on my Cummins 4BT?
On the Cummins 4BT, 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.
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.
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.
Is this a genuine Cummins 4988377?
No. It is an aftermarket alternator made to replace the Cummins 4988377. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
