The Engine Serial Number (ESN) can be viewed on the engine data plate, the location of the engine data plate is detailed in the Owner's Manual, Operation and Maintenance Manual, or Service Manual document: 100-001 Engine Identification.

Generally, Cummins Engine Serial Numbers consist of (8) digits. Depending on the production year, some legacy engines may have (7)-digit serial numbers.
