Need a new engine for your Howo truck?

Not sure where to begin? Don't just guess, or you'll waste time and money. Plus, you might even get the wrong parts. 

Every Howo engine has a serial number, like an ID card. Understand this number, and you can buy the right parts. This'll save you time and cash.

Why's the engine serial number so important?

l Wrong engine code, wrong order.

l Wrong parts, engine won't fit the truck; wasted time and cash.

l The engine serial number IDs your Howo engine. It tells you which series, model, and setup, so you get the right parts.

Take WD615, D12, WP10, and WP12 engines. People often mix up part numbers. One wrong digit and the radiator inlet might not install, or the water pump flange won't match. A serial number will dodges those issues. That's why good fleet managers have mechanics snap pics of the engine plate info before even asking for a quote and keep a record.

Where do you find the Howo engine serial number?

Usually, on the engine block, on a metal plate, or in the truck's paperwork.

l Engine block marking: Left or right side, near the cylinder head.

l Metal plate: Has engine series info such as WD615/D12/WP12.

l Paperwork: Check the vehicle ID card, customs info, or inspection reports.

I tell people to send me photos of the truck plate and the original stamp before asking for a quote. I can double-check for you. It'll save you weeks.

How do you read a Howo engine serial number?

Example: WD615.47-123456

l WD615 → Engine series (6-cylinder, 15L displacement).

l .47 → Power rating (like 371 hp).

l 123456 → Serial number.

Another one: WP12.420E50-987654

l WP12 → Weichai Power 12L series.

l .420 → Horsepower.

l E50 → Emission standard.

l 987654 → Production number.

Get this down, and you won't mix up a WD615 radiator with a WP12 radiator.
