Truck won't shut down
Hi all. I know there is a sticky on this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. My truck won't shut down when I turn the key off. Not sure if it's the solenoid or something in the whole assembly. Is there an exploded view of the whole shut down mechanism? If there is can someone send me the link. Thanx and have a great weekend!

Pull the wire off your shut down solenoid on your ve pump. If the truck stays running the problem is with the solenoid. The solenoid has a plunger and a spring and when power is cut it releases the plunger and the spring pushes the plunger down to shut it off. It is more likely to be an electrical problem like your ignition isnt cutting off the power to that wire.

I checked the electrical going to the shut down solenoid. It is working properly. So, it must be the solenoid. Can I buy this aftermarket, or is it a Cummins only part? I am going to install a shut down cable also. I am going to install a shut down cable also. Thanx for all the info and help!!!

This is kind of funny. It seems these issues go in cycles. every few years the same questions come around. If you turn your pump up really far. what happens is you end up blowing a chunk out of the rubber tip on the tip of the shutdown solenoid plunger. You can replace the solenoid but it will probably happen again. Some have modified the plunger by grinding it flat instead of concave. Or you can do the pull cable mod. Neither of my trucks have functioning solenoids. I pull the plunger and leave it out, the plunger can actually cause power problems. Good luck

What are the chances of their $6 throttle-shaft bushing fitting our application ??
http://www.dieselvw.com/InjectorPumpsAndParts.htm
It is about midway down on right side of page.
If it works, that is twenty-bucks cheaper than any other source I have checked.
