I've got a '91 D250 2WD 5.9 LITER CUMMINS.
I need a new fuel cut solenoid, and the dealer wants $314 for it. Please, does anybody have a source for this part that is a bit more affordable? Or is there a fix for this part out there?

Thanks for the help.

check the sticky at the top of the main 1st gen page... Im pretty sure there are part numbers... or join the pull cable club!!!

 

This site sells them for about $10:

Cummins isn't the only engine that used the Bosch VE.

I bought one myself, works fine. If it ever breaks, I'll just pony up the $10 and buy another one. In fact, I ought to just buy a spare.

Hey, what a great find! My dealer wanted $314!

How quick did this VW site process the order?

 

It's been a while, but I recall getting it quite promptly. Where do they ship from, I wonder ?

 

$314 must be the Government bail out price. Even Cummins does not want that price - they are somewhere around 50 to 60 bucks. Now you know why the military pays $900 for a toilet seat.
