1. Engine Block:
* Front of the Engine: Look on the front of the engine block, near the crankshaft pulley or the timing cover. The number might be cast into the block or attached via a metal tag.
* Side of the Engine: Check the side of the engine block, usually near the oil pan or the exhaust manifold.
2. Engine Data Tag:
* Engine Compartment: Look for a metal tag attached to the engine, often near the valve cover or air intake manifold. This tag will likely have the engine number, serial number, and other important engine details.
3. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Plate:
* Driver's Side Door Jamb: Check the driver's side door jamb for the VIN plate. While the VIN plate won't directly have the engine number, it may list the engine type or code. You can use this information to further identify the specific engine and its number.
4. Service Records:
* Previous Service Records: If the truck has previous service records, the engine number should be listed in those documents.
Important Note:
* Location may vary: The exact location of the engine number can vary depending on the specific engine model installed in your truck.
* Clean the area: Ensure the areas you're looking at are clean and free of dirt or grease to make the numbers more visible.
* Use a flashlight: If you're struggling to see the numbers, use a flashlight to help illuminate the area.
If you are still unable to locate the engine number, you can contact an International truck dealership or a mechanic specialized in International trucks. They can often help you identify the number.
