How are the cylinders numbered on a 3.9 L v6?

There's no single standard for cylinder numbering on a 3.9L V6. The numbering scheme depends entirely on the manufacturer and specific engine design. Some might number from the front left to the front right, others from the back to the front, and even the left bank versus the right bank can vary.

To know the correct cylinder numbering for *your* specific 3.9L V6 engine, you need to:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. Look for diagrams showing the engine layout and cylinder numbering.

* Check the engine itself: Some engines have the numbers cast directly onto the engine block or cylinder heads.

* Use a repair manual specific to your vehicle: These manuals often have detailed engine diagrams.

* Search online: A search using your vehicle's make, model, year, and engine code might turn up diagrams or information specific to your engine.

Without knowing the make, model, and year of the vehicle, it's impossible to give you a definitive answer.
