Cummins engine number is stamped on the steel plate above the interface between the engine and the transmission. Relevant information about Cummins engines is as follows: Introduction to Cummins engines: Cummins engines are designed and manufactured by Cummins Inc., widely used in heavy-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, buses, recreational vehicles, light commercial vehicles, and pickup trucks for highway vehicles, as well as in engineering machinery, mining equipment, agricultural machinery, ships, and railways for non-highway equipment.

Veteran drivers all know that I've looked for the engine number on my Dongfeng Tianjin Cummins several times. It's usually stamped on the front right side of the engine block, near the fan and water pump. After lifting the hood, you should let the car cool down for a few minutes to avoid burning your hands; then crouch down and look towards the upper part of the block, where it might be on a small plate or directly engraved on the metal. Bring a flashlight when it's dark to illuminate the area. If the number is covered in oil, don't scrape it hard—just gently wipe it clean with a damp cloth. This fixed location makes it convenient for registration or maintenance records, but be careful not to confuse it with other markings. Take a quick look during regular car maintenance to avoid panic when you're in a hurry!
For friends who frequently work on trucks, finding the engine number is a step-by-step process: First, open the engine compartment and ensure the engine has cooled down, otherwise you'll face hot air. Cummins engines often have the number on the front right side of the cylinder block or engraved on an aluminum plate at the top of the flywheel housing. When lying down to look, wiring harnesses might block the view—gently move them aside. The numbers are small and easy to miss, especially in rusty areas; spraying some rust remover and wiping can make them clearer. I always recommend carrying a magnifying glass for easier spotting. The location is consistent and not hard to remember. If you run into trouble, check the manual or ask for help—don't waste time struggling blindly.
