Cummins Engine Serial Number Location
I'm trying to find my engine serial.Cummins 855 big cam in an 81 International 2574. The data tag on the side of the timing cover is missing.Everyone keeps saying it will be stamped in the block on the driver's side near the 3rd head. Well I can't find it. I pulled off the dog house in the cab even to get another angle, used a mirror, bright flashlights. Not seeing anything.I looked at another truck we have with a 400 Cummins (Ford 9000) and I can't find it on that one either.Any help? Photos maybe?I can't get any parts for it, everytime I talk to Cummins they need the serial before doing anything with parts.:Banghead.
The engine is also an optional power plant in the 3/4-ton and 1-ton versions of the 1994 to 2002 Dodge Ram pickup. And Teksid S.p.A. Manufactured the 5.9 engine blocks for Cummins, and the only way to tell which company made a particular block is to locate the cast number stamped or embossed on the block. Locate the eight-digit serial number on your Cummins engine; it is printed on a dataplate affixed to the engine. The exact location of the dataplate varies depending the model engine, yet it's typically on the top or side of the rocker cover or housing unit. This dataplate will also have the engine's model printed on it. Cummins Engine Serial Number location. « on: August 07, 2009, 03:36:15 PM ». I traded my gasser in on a pusher and trying to find the serial # for the engine. It's a 2006 Mandalay 40F with a Cummins ISL 400 HP. I've crawled under the engine looking for this serial# without success. Any help will be appreciated.
Hello,I have a few questions and concerns you guys may be able to help me out. First let me tell you what I'm trying to do with a truck I bought at an auction. My son and I are trying to start our own business repairing foundations and mud jacking. He lives in NJ with my 3 grand babies and I live in KS the grand babies are my motivation to make this move, so I will move there to start this business.Money is real tight so I have to buy old equipment and repair it. I bought this 1984 Ford LT9000 truck to make it a multi propose flatbed with a dump, construction type of a truck that will pull a 12 ton equipment trailer and haul anything from equipment, dirt, gravel etc. On the flatbed and tow at the same time.
It has a Cummins N14 (auction paperwork says) with 9 spd. Tandem axle, Jake brake and feels like it has lots of power for what I need it for. This trucks runs VERY good, starts right up every time with no problem and sound great! The truck was owned by the county fire dept as a 3000 gal tanker pump truck, I took the tank and pump off and sold it, the pump was 2002 so I'm assuming that when the conversion was done. From what I can tell before it was a fire truck it used to be a a semi tractor.
It has trailer brake air supply knob but no glad hands and no in cab trailer brake lever? The wheel base used to be from factory 174' the frame was lengthened about 4 feet. It appears a Company out of Commerce city CO. 'Denver Truck Sales and Equipment Co., INC.'
Did the tractor to tanker conversion to it because their sticker is right on top of the (at the time) new red paint job and they specialize in tanker trucks etc. I think they did a major overhaul on it at the time, LOTS of new parts and new paint inside cab and outside cab new parts includes: Brakes, brake cans,auto adjusters, rear springs, starter, injector pump, fuel lines, hoses, belts, alternator, air compressor, radiator maybe repaired or tested it was marked with a grease pin 'OK' on it, engine has also been painted but I can tell they painted it in frame, I can tell by the wear on the rubber clutch paddle it had a lot of miles on it maybe during its previous tractor life. I think the Denver Truck set the odometer to zero because it only shows 15,000 miles and I called the fire chef and he said that mileage is correct and said other than maintenance nothing had been done to the truck by them. The reason they got rid of it was mostly because it had a stick and not an auto trans and that the younger kids these days can't drive sticks. He did say it would smoke up the fire house some when they started it and that they did not like the smoke in the firehouse.
After setting a few days it will blow a little white smoke but clears right up and only smoke at start up if its been setting, no smoke at all after warm and restart. The engine (by my eye) shows zero blow.

Engine oil is very clear hardly even black and no sign of antifreeze, oil pressure is about 50 psi. An old trucker told me the smoke was raw fuel leaking down into the cup on top the piston and is normal for these engines. I've only drove it 400 miles total and the removed the drive shaft to take the tanker off. The trucks starts but can't drive right now because driveshaft is missing. I wrote off the white smoke as normal until yesterday I was tinkering on it and checked the radiator Antifreeze level, it was down, it took two gal's to get it to the top of the neck. I ran engine at idle some more, up to temp and open rad cap and it was down again, sucked it somewhere, no smoke, clear oil, I think it was just real low?
Truck runs VERY cool the clutch fan never kicked on doing the 300 mile drive home from auction in 100 degree temp!!, the fan does work I know for sure I tested it, with no air pressure the fan engages as soon as I have good air pressure fan kicks off. During the 300 mile drive home if I remember right I think the water temp was running about 190. Now Im worried about missing antifreeze and maybe that smoke is something more serious, I may have other problems what should I do?The data plate is missing can anyone tell me what engine I have and the spec's, it's for sure a Big Cam and I think it’s a III but not sure? Here is the serial number I read this number will tell me everything I need to know Serial # 11134503I'm new at diesel repairs, always had others do most my repairs on trucks where I used to work before quitting my job to make this move, but now money is very tight and I'm forced to learn and do a lot of it myself, so any help or recommendations you guys can give me I will appreciate it very much!! I checked the radiator while running and found foamy bubbles in coolant real foamy like dish soap foamy bubbles.
I put the Rad overflow tube into a clear bottle of water let engine run ½ hour at idle only got to 125 degree’s?? No bubbles from overflow tube until I released the lever on the radiator cap, then it was making bubbles big and small ones I would not stay they were real steady but more like 1-2-3 bubbles then stop then 1 big bubble and stop then 1-2-3 bubbles and sometimes a bunch of real big bubbles but always stopping in between the next set of bubbles not a steady stream of bubbles. I hope I explained that so you understand. Cap is a 5lbs no bubbles out overflow with the rad cap lever down!! I read to bi-pass the air compressor to see if the air is coming from the compressor due to bad compressor head gasket, but I don’t understand the plumbing enough to know which lines to remove and cap can someone help me to understand this plumbing better so I can do this test.One more thing I noticed I don’t know if this is related but on the radiator filler neck side end of the radiator according to my Digital Infrared Thermometer after ½ running at idle that end of radiator got to 136 d.
All this time the clutch fan never kicked in, but the other side of radiator on the upper rad hose side of radiator it was only 77 to 100 d. Depending where I pointed the temp gun warmer at top of radiator and cooler at bottom. Does it sound like maybe my thermostat is not opening or maybe the someonetook it out?? My dash temp gauge only shows 125 d. It is possible it was reading that 136 d.
