Did you use a voltmeter and check to insure the voltage at the solenoid on top the pump is 12 volt?
Did you have someone turn the engine off while you checked the solenoid to insure the voltage stopped when the key was turned off?
No need of spending $$$ for stuff you don’t need.
The solenoid will fit small cam pumps as well as big Cam pumps.
Had to replace the solenoid on my bucket of bolts few years ago for similar problems you are experiencing…..haycarter, 76K100, BoxCarKidd and 1 other person Thank this. -
76K100, OLDSKOOLERnWV and Last Call Thank this.

The harness by the steering box was a common issue as mentioned.
Be sure the thumb screw in front of the solenoid is backed out enough to shut off. Might have to use a tool not just your thumb.
If you decide you need a solenoid I would buy the whole thing not just the electric part. -
Question is….. is there power on the solenoid when the key is turned to the off position with the engine still running…. -
Don’t have a pic right now, but yes there was potential to manually operate the SP, at least the ones I’ve been around.
I’ve been around these Cummins since 1987, but still we tend to learn things.
There is a mechanical issue that will cause the problem he is experiencing, I’m trying to remember what the hell it was, been a long time….76K100, Oxbow and BoxCarKidd Thank this. -

lol, yea I remember that trick to gain a little power on the hills.
When I was driving my 1973 Cabover Kenworth in the 80’s I was up in Ohio late one night.
I’d been driving for a couple hours none stop, was coming off an exit and realized the rpm’s wouldn’t drop below a 1000 rpm.
Sure made it difficult to shift. I finally got in to a fuel stop and started looking. Couldn’t figure it to save my life.
Hated to do it, but dug out $.25 and called my dad knowing he was in bed.
We conversed for a few minutes then he started asking about the fuel lines. Wanted to know how old they were.
I told him far as I know they are original to the truck. Truck had a 335 Cummins / 9 speed.
He ask if I had any wrenches, yes I do I told him. Then he told me to take the fuel return line off and switch ends with it.
Switched the line and it idled high for just a second then went to an idle as it should.
The rubber inside the line was breaking down, and a piece had lifted up / rolled up causing a gate valve in a sense because it was still partially attached. Switching the line changed the fuel flow and it laid back down.
Little things can create big problems lol….haycarter, BoxCarKidd, 76K100 and 1 other person Thank this. -
replaced fuel lines to #12 and all it was the nut holding wire lead on was loose.I want to express how grateful I am for all the responses I've been a classic car guy my whole life but recently sold my 1960 classic to buy this new venture in my life
haycarter, BoxCarKidd, Oxbow and 2 others Thank this.
