FAQ

Q: How can I be 100% sure this air filter cap will fit my engine?
A: The most reliable method is to locate the part number on your existing air filter cap. If it matches 3017003, this is the correct replacement. You should also verify your engine model is a Cummins NT855-C280. If you are unsure, please contact our support team with your engine serial number (ESN) for precise cross-referencing.

Q: What are the signs that my air filter cap needs to be replaced?
A: Common signs include visible cracks, warping, or damage to the cap itself. A broken or loose cap can also cause a noticeable drop in engine power, increased black smoke, or a “check engine” light due to an air intake system leak. During routine air filter service, always inspect the cap and seal for wear.

Q: Is this a genuine Cummins part or an aftermarket replacement?
A: This part is manufactured to OEM specifications by a certified partner. While it is not a genuine Cummins-branded part from the factory, it is engineered to match the exact fit, form, and function of the original 3017003 part. It provides reliable performance at a competitive price point, making it a popular choice for fleet maintenance and cost-conscious buyers. The packaging is standard Cummins-style packaging.
