Diesel Engine Identification How to identify your engine Use the following steps in order to properly identify your engine. There are six major manufacturers of diesel truck engines in the United States—Caterpillar (CAT), Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Ford, GM and Navistar / International. All truck engines consist of a model and serial number to help decode and decide how to best service the truck owner. Please provide as much information as possible such as engine Serial Number, Year, Make, Model and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Caterpillar All Caterpillar engines are painted yellow from the factory. Serial numbers consist of a string of alphanumeric code.

The serial and model number is located on a metallic plate on the passenger side of the valve cover. If the metallic plate is missing, the engine serial number is stamped on the passenger side of the cylinder block, just behind the exhaust manifold. Cummins Cummins engines are painted red from the factory. The engine and model numbers are engraved on a metallic plate located on the driver's side front cover. All Cummins serial numbers are eight numeric digits. If the identification plate is missing, the engine serial number is stamped on the passenger side of the cylinder block, near the rear of the engine.

DETROIT diesel engines Spare parts catalogs, Service & Operation Manuals. Inform serial number of the engine. 176123 50G series. Check out the serial number for V53 series engines. It involves the 6V53 and 8V53 models. In case of the inline 53 series engines, all the 6V53 and 8V53 engines serial numbers can also begin with the many cylinders that follow the “D” and so 6V53 engines can begin with 6D and also 8V53 engines can start with the “8D”.

Detroit Diesel Detroit Diesel engines have a metallic plate on the driver's side of the valve cover. An engine serial number will be present, in addition to a model number. Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines are painted light blue from the factory, and the DD13 and the DD15 engines are painted black. Series 60 serial numbers will begin 06R followed by seven digits. The DD13 and the DD15 consist of 10 numeric digits.

Ford Ford diesel engines have engine serial number is located on the cylinder block. If the serial number is missing, the owner will need to provide the Year, Make, Model and VIN number of the vehicle to determine the engine type.

GM GM diesel engines have engine serial number is located on the cylinder block. If the serial number is missing, the owner will need to provide the Year, Make, Model and VIN number of the vehicle to determine the engine type. Navistar / International Navistar / International engine serial number is located on a metallic plate on the driver's side or passenger side of the cylinder block at the center of the engine and just below the cylinder head. The serial number will consist of 13 numeric digits. If the plate is missing, the owner will need to find the fuel pump and turbo part numbers located on each part to determine the engine type. In addition to the Serial Number please provide the Arrangement Number, or CPL number Good Practice Throughout an engine's life, there is a chance that the engine was repaired or overhauled at some point.

As most engine serial numbers used to identify the engine are located on metallic plates; these plates tend to wear and in some cases becomes illegible. In other cases, parts such as the valve cover are changed without the repair shop removing the old identification plate and installing it on the new one. It is good practice to locate the serial number that is stamped on the cylinder block to prevent mis-identification of the engine.
