- 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 engines are found in nearly every type of vehicle and equipment on Earth. Familiarizing yourself with your Cummins Engine Serial Number (ESN) can save you a lot of time when ordering parts for your diesel engine.
Look for the Dataplate
Cummins Engine Serial Number (ESN) is located on the dataplate. Dataplates on engines often include additional information, such as CPL (Critical Parts List), horsepower, and RPM rating. Dataplates can sometimes be hard to locate because they are often in different positions based on the engines’ model. It will be good to refer to your owner’s manual for the location of your dataplate.
The Cummins 5.9L “B-Series” diesel engine was produced from 1984 up until 2007. First generation versions were named the 6BT but also commonly referred to as the 12v, or 12-valve. Each cylinder had 2 valves, hence the name 12-valve. Cummins 4BT 3.9/6BT 5.9 Cummins engine serial numbers are also listed on the metal tag fixed to the front gear housing as well as the back left side near the oil cooler housing. Cummins QSK45 and QSK60 engine serial numbers are visible on the front gear cover on the left side and sometimes on the rear of the block.
Numbers Only
Cummins ESN’s are eight digits long with no accompanying letters. They are written in sequence, based on which engine was assembled first in line. If you still could not locate the ESN, look for the Critical Parts List (CPL) which is unique to Cummins engines. This is a list of the critical parts of the engine. Different engines can have the same CPL’s that’s why there are a fewer CPL’s than ESN’s. A CPL can be used when ordering most major parts of an engine.
