    Can anyone get me the engine family of my 99 Detroit Series 60? I have the engine serial number available. The valve cover was replaced before I purchased the truck, therefore no labels.

    If you mean engine family, as used by EPA, check here:
    http://www3.epa.gov/otaq/certdata.htm
    There is zip-files with excel for different modelyears you can download
    Probably something like this: XDDXH12.7EGL (example for MY1999 12.7)

    If it's a 99 it will be a ddec4 with out egr .
    You got three model codes it could be
    Mk60
    Tk60
    Pk60
    Phone your dealer with last 6 digits of your Vin and request the model # of your engine. Not hard assuming that's the original engine as previously stated.

    Clean off the side of the block. Center section, driver side right below the head is a raised block that should have the ESN and model.

    If it's for the CARB exemption - I had the same trouble with the N14, so I called CARB, they said "Doesn't matter" and poked the application through regardless.

    This is after I had called Cummins to verify their "Engine family" number.
     
    The Admiral and fortycalglock Thank this.
