Cummins on-highway engines consist of the N14 and M11, and the ISX, ISL and the ISM. Cummins engines are painted red from the factory. The engine and model numbers are engraved on a metallic plate located on the driver's side front cover. All Cummins serial numbers are eight numeric digits. 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. 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.
