2 Answers
The engine number of Dongfeng Tianlong is located in the middle left side at the front of the engine, usually consisting of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and English letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license prints the engine number, generally located in the second last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The car purchase invoice will state the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will state the engine number. It should be noted that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer, and engine models can be the same. The engine number refers to the production number of the engine, each engine can only use one engine number and each engine's number is different.
I've been driving a Dongfeng Tianlong truck for five or six years, and I'm quite familiar with the location of the engine number. Typically, it's on the engine block itself, specifically on the flat metal surface near the flywheel housing on the side of the engine block. After opening the hood, you'll need to crouch down and look in the lower left or lower right area. Sometimes it might be covered by oil or dust, but shining a flashlight on it will make it visible. I remember one time during a vehicle inspection, the number was so dirty that a gentle wipe with a soft cloth revealed it. The placement is good—it's not easily damaged, but you should check periodically to ensure it's not obscured by dirt. It's especially important for vehicle transfers and repairs, so I take a photo of it and save it on my phone every time I do maintenance. Safety tip: Make sure the engine is completely cool before handling it—don't touch it when it's hot to avoid burns. If you can't find it, check the user manual—it saves time and effort.
