Small screws....

[snapped_bolt]

I've managed to misplace four of them, and I haven't been able to find which size I need to replace them. These are the screws that attach the sensor to the top of the intake manifold. This is on a 2003 3500, 5.9. All stock. I can pick up some replacements at the local heavy-duty hardware store. I am 100% confident the missing screws will turn up after the truck is back together and running.

Thanks in advance for any help...

I have a 04, and I can't think of what you're talking about, but I am at work. Got a tap and die set. Find one that will thread into it, then you'll know what thread pitch/size it is. I believe they are metric

Provide either the complete truck vin or the engine serial number. I can probably give you the size...

OK

The number I use on Quickserve is 56965133.

I haven't got a metric tap set yet. I am buying a milling machine today, so the tap sets and all the other et cetras are sure to follow...


Thanks!

I see the Intake Temp sensor that take 2 screws. Maybe I'm not following which sensor you are working with. Your not talking about the four that hold the fuel rail on are you??

Hi,

I need the 2 screws for the temp? sensor on top of the intake plenum.

OK, looks like Metric Socket Head M4 X 0.7 X 16.

Item 11????

mwilson,

THANK YOU for your response. My Cummins Quickserve doesn't allow me direct access to the page you posted, so I tried the part number in the "Search Parts Catalog" field and the entire exploded view showed up. Maybe it's a browser issue.

I think once the owner sees the screws he will understand why no other fasteners will do.
I'll just stop at the local heavy-duty hardware store and pick up four of those later today. Once the engine is running, it is a sure thing that all four of the misplaced screws will come out of hiding.


Thanks again!
