Has anyone tried putting the red ISB valve covers that Cummins shows on the RV engines on a Dodge ? Need to look close tomorrow ,maybe they won't clear the hood . Sure does look awesome though !!

i'd like to get this black one to work [maybe have it painted blue, but this cover]

i scanned this off a cummins medium duty literature

Yeah that is sweet !! Talked to Cummins dealer today about height ,would it fit ,etc..... Dude had no clue ,gave me part # and said 93 clams . I called Cummins direct ..........only made in black now ,like the one you showed and it MUST be a common rail cover . Told me it would fit and clear the hood though . Checking with dealer soon ,don't want DC to have any leverage on a warranty denial !!

you wont be able to use the valve cover , what you dont see is that the cover in the back side has a oil drain on one side and a breather hole in the back , this valve cover will only work with the gear train in the back of the motor , and your valve cover on the dodge has the breather built into the valve cover itself . totally different .

Mixer Man

that pic is NOT a common rail though . Cummins swears it will fit and clear the hood. Guess I will have to be the guinea pig .

That pic that Nickleinonen is showing is a common rail EGR engine that is use in the medium trucks . and yes the cover will fit , but it wont function

Smkndzl

you gotta remember , the CR engine that is use in the medium truck is not like the Dodge engine , the gear train is in the back of the motor along with the CP3 high pressure pump .

Are we back to the breather at the back of the cover problem that Vaughn had with the one he was working on?

Mixer Man

So much for trusting the people that built these things . Thanks for the reply ,sure you guys are up on this ..........and I sure don't want to go through a bunch of needless cursing !!

next time i go to cummins, i'll figure out what price i can get it for, and if it is reasonable, i will get one [canadian prices are different -usually more than us prices] and figure out some sort of breather setup...
