These are a little tricker to locate the serial number. The serial number can generally be found in one of the three following locations:
- Stamped in the block – difficult to see but its stamped in the block above the oil filter and above the block heater if equipped.
- Top of the engine – difficult to see but there is a decal on the top of the engine with the serial number upon it.
- Instrument Panel Door – when equipped with an engine enclosure there will be a serial number decal on the inside of the door at the bottom.
