Today I changed the pre-filter screen...... it was pretty clean!
While I was down there removing the bowl, I noticed that the two wires inside a plastic/rubber boot type deal, going into the top front of the pre-filter assembly, looked like they were "cooked". When I touched them to check it out, the boot disintegrated
It looks like it can be removed with a couple torx screws and then unplug a couple wire connnectors. Does anybody know what this is called or what the part number for it wire harness is?
I went to the Dodge dealer and tried to explain, but I'm sure you know what the outcome was!
Also...I'm going to hopefully do the KDP and was thinking it would be a good time to replace the water pump. I was hoping somebody could also give me that part number as well.
Thanks Guys !!!!

I believe that cooked piece is a temp sending unit. The whole wiring harness is available from Cummins, part # 3843722-S. One thing to watch out for is the pins on the pre-heater element might start sucking air once you remove the fried wiring harness. Mine did. You can get the element at Cummins too, part # 3907766-S. I paid about $90CAN for both.

 

If you mean the harness that goes into the fuel heater/pre screen assembly, Here goes.
Fuel heater element cable harness.
Fleetguard part# 3843722-S

Water pump Cummins part#3802357
This is for 12 valve trucks.

If you give me your email adress, i'll give you the file with all the part #s for just about everything you could ever need.

 

Thanks for the info guys.......
Is it alright to still drive the truck with the fried harness?
I sure hope so!

 

If just the wires are fried no problem. If the element is also fried it may start leaking and cause hard starts.
