Caterpillar Engine Serial Lookup

That sounds like the same brand I was speaking of price is different but it might have just been the distributor I was working with as well.

 

I ordered an interstate Mcbee damper for my C model. $415 shipped to my door, it's the new style viscous it looks nothing like my shaky original

 

Alright, how about this serial? 5EK82590 That's the number according to the ECM on the truck.

 

I got the ECM read with CAT Electronic Technician and according to the readout the engine serial is actually 5EK82590. Supposedly, it has 475hp@2100rpm and 1750lb torque@1200rpm.

The previously mentioned serial (5EK71431) was taken from the valve cover. So now I don't know if the ECM is really for this engine or not and/or the valve cover belongs to the engine or not. I've scoured the block and cannot find any other data plates or stamps in the casting anywhere.

What can you guys tell me about the new serial, 5EK82590?

 

3406E TRUCK ENGINE
Engine Serial Number - 5EK82590 (Build Date - 15/05/1996, Test Date - 15/05/1996, Ship Date - 17/05/1996

354.2 BRAKE KW (475 BHP) AT 1800 RPM. KENWORTH,JAKE BRAKE (5EK82590) (As Shipped)

I just got set up with CAT SIS as well and it is hard to navigate through there so I hope I posted information correctly for you.

 

Thanks! I've confirmed this block number against this serial/ECM and it all adds up. Looks like I get to have a little fun with the old KW soon.

 

I have a 5EK82792 in one of my trucks, so very close to what you have. Kinda neat. Good luck with your project.

 

Wow, that IS close! Thanks.

 

Did my man get a hold of you yet???

 

Yes, sir! I'll be seeing him Saturday...thanks.
