Re:horse power

Look on the drivers side of the engine .... see your oil fill tube? Look below there and you'll find the engine tag .... tells you what you need to know about the engine ...

Re:horse power

While you are reading the data plate on the engine. Go ahead and write down the CPL # and the Serial# of your engine. This will help the parts guys at Cummins if you ever need anything.

Should be the same as my 97 2500.<br><br>180 HP and 425 lb/ft torque. It is de-tuned because of the automatic.
