Engine Identification

For quick engine identification, refer to the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Decal mounted under the hood (16612). This decal lists engine information required for proper servicing of the engine (6007). Refer to Section 00-03 for further information. An engine identification label is also attached to the engine. The symbol code on the identification tag identifies each engine for determining parts usage, for instance, engine displacement and model year. Engine decal information is located in Section 03-01A (4.9L SFI), Section 03-01B (5.0L and 5.8L MFI), Section 03-01C (7.5L MFI) or Section 03-01D (7.3L diesel). The vehicle identification number (VIN) also gives engine information. The tenth digit identifies the engine. Refer to Section 00-01 for further information.



 

Emission Calibration Number Label
