    I have only looked at two & the tags were on the upper center, left side of motor. Plenty of CAT guys that will definitely correct me if I am wrong. ;) Should be a BXS or MXS pending year of motor.

    I believe Cat makes a harness for this, I'm sure someone on here will direct you in the right direction.

    What did you do to get better fuel mileage? I have a 06 W900 and the best I can get is around 5.5

    I havent heard of anyone converting a DPF Cat backwards to an 07. maybe your trying a direct swap.cant tell by your post. Im pretty sure anything with a DPF had to have cab/chassis mods to make everything fit and your 07 wont have that. give more details
