One way you find the engine model actually on the engine itself, is by flipping the cab up. And the way you do that on the Isuzu NPR and NQR, and also the W3500, W4500, and W5500 GMC series, is you got to pull a safety latch, which lets the release come up, and you have another safety latch to pull. [Watch video for visuals]. Please, make sure your stiff leg lock is down, and you put a pin in to secure it before you get up underthe cab, because this cab can crush you.
To fine the engine model number, look right on top of the valve cover, and the engine model number can be found on the tag. It also gives you a production date and other important information.

You can find your engine model by flipping up your cab. Most cabs are equipped with a lock, and then a safety latch. This particular model happens to have three. You reach in, pull this latch and flip this lock up, then you have another safety latch, and you flip it up. The cab should flip up fairly easy, but be careful. When you flip your cab up, make sure that your lock is safe and down, and put your pin in it.
What we're looking for is the engine model number. There are different variations, you can have the same engine, but a different injection pump or turbo can be configured on the engine as well. This blue tag in the Mitsubishi is key to it. If you lok right on top of the engine, it will say "Engine Model." This particular engine model is a 6D341AT2. And that is a key number we would need to try to match you up with an engine.
Some of the smaller Mitsubishi's, like the FE & FG, the tags are found on the opposite side of the valve cover, on the side of it. ut usually it's a blue, or green, or gold tag.
