Cummins chrome kit

[Forrest Nearing]

good point, but with a 12v, you shouldn't need a cab

You can buy a "RED" valve cover from a motorhome engine for a 24v but to the best of my knowledge chrome was never a factory option. I don't remember the p/n of the red one off hand. The chrome valve cover kit p/n is 3804732, int man 3804733, heater tubes 3804734 and alt brkt 3804735. They fit all 12v except the intake only fits 94-98. The last time I checcked they were not available as the kits but there were some pieces left. I will have this checked out later. I know of a set of all 4 kits ( still in the boxes ) that might be for sale, but my friend is out of town for a while. I was going to use them on my repower. We are also not next door to most of you.

Shadrach,

If you have a couple of chrome kits and are willing to part with any, I'd definitely purchase a one.

The Cummins part number for the "RED" valve cover for the 24v is 3943668. It comes with a gray coating on it so if you order one don't be alarmed that it doesn't look red. Shadrach

OK heres the scoop on the Cummins chrome parts. P/n 3804732, valve cover kit is No Longer Available as a kit. The individual p/n are as follows - 6 of 3098773 washers, 6 of 3932369 bolts and 6 of 3932368 valve covers. The bolts and washers are stainless steel.

P/n 3804733 , air intake manifold is NLA as a kit. The kit consist of 6 of 3098772 washers, 3 of 3932371 bolts, 2 of 3932372 bolts , 1 of 3932373 bolt, and 1 3932370 air intake manifold.

The heater tube kit ,p/n 3804734 is still available. There are only 3 left at the warehouse in Memphis.

The last kit , p/n 3804735, is the upper alternator mounting bracket. It is NLA as a kit either. The kit consists of 1 of 3098772 washer, 1 of 3098773 washer, 1 of 3932379 bracket, 1 of 3932380 bolt and 1 of 3932381 bolt. The gaskets for the valve covers and the intake are the same as the stock ones. You could have the bolts and washers chromed locally but it makes the socket fit real tight on the bolt head and then the chrome peels off. The valve cover bolts are a special shape- the rest of the bolts are normal.

OK Heres where it gets interesting. If you talk "real nice" to the parts guy at Cummins ( and I mean at the Cummins Distributor, not a dealer - like Freightliner etc. ) and ask them to order them from SR Sales ( a warehouse for obsolete and slow moving parts - for all makes ) you will still be able to buy the individual parts. It will cost a lot more this way than it would have if you could still buy the kits but you will be able to get them. Oo. I can't help you on pricing as I am in Canada, but I know of one guy up here who bought all the pieces this way and it was almost a grand. Shadrach

thanks! how's this? ( sorry I have to take with my phone!)

(4th pic) I have a second VC that I'm doing that has ALL the script removed

the iron parts were stripped raw and high temp clear-coated.

quite labor intense, but I like the results.

 

[Signal73]

Michael, All my parts arrived yesterday. Will have it with me on Sat. at the brawl and hopefully get it installed. I do have an extra intake manifold. Will you be there Sat. ? Tom
