How are we supposed to know? Get the serial number and call Cummins or check on their website
jcatel, blairandgretchen, 86scotty and 2 others Thank this. -
Theres a black tag on the drivers side of the valve cover on the front of the engine. Will have all the relevant info on it. Horsepower, torque, CPL, etc.

Buying a truck without knowing what the horsepower is (Do you know what make the engine is?) sounds like a sure fire recipe for business success.

Check the glove compartment box. I have had trucks that have HP rating there. Or stickers inside the door frame.
