4BT history

[Yo Hoot]

I have a 4BT built in 2009 ser no. 60124362
Is there a way to find out what it's original application was?

My basic Quick Serve just comes up as a 1997 Construction.

Maybe there are some hints in the info they have, or better versions of QC accounts out there, maybe some way to get the original ESN.

 

[Yo Hoot]

It does have a tag also that it was rebuilt.

So it looks like from what you are saying it's a 1997 engine remanned in 2009.

Yeah that's what my free version of Quick Serve pulls up anyway.

You can sign up and register the ESN for parts breakouts and basic info.

They give you 5 free ESNs.

Thanks Tim

Thanks Tim

No problem.

Someone will chime in with some better info and a super decoder ring. Maybe based on the part number and specs listed get you in the ball park.

So the big question....
what are you going to do with it?

Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I picked this up a couple of months ago. 1948 Ford F1
Mustang independent suspension up front w/airbags
Custom rear suspension w/airbags
Power brakes
Power steering.

Power steering pump stacked on the vacuum pump. PSC remote reservoir pump custom regulated to 1200 psi fro a 88 T-Bird rack

All Cummins engine starting with the 60xxxxxx series of Engine Serial Numbers are Recon engines (Cummins Rebuilds). The DR1474RX is the part number of that particular model. It would be 125 HP 350 TQ.

How did it get an inline pump vs a rotatory pump. My two 1996 4BT150's marine engines had rotatory pumps.

The 4BTs with higher HP come with in line pumps. Application can also make a difference.

125 HP is a higher HP model? The marine 4BT250's had intercoolers and inline pumps, and they burned down number 4 cylinder a lot, because the heat exchanger was to small. All the first gen RAM were rotatory pumps. I would think that maybe this one got the inline pump in 2009 when it was re-manufactured.

Marine is a different ballgame. I should have been more specific. In Automotive applications 4B only went to 130 HP. I talking 3.9 engines not the new 4.5 version. Cummins also used Stanydine, Lucas CAV and Nippondenso injection pumps as well as the Bosch.

Yep, it is like always driving up hill. The engine only unloads in very ruff seas when the craft in heading down a large wave, put climbing a wave put the engine into an even heavier load. The saving grace here is that one is normal not turning the engine up near it's max under these conditions.

There are lots of B series diesels in boats, however the Power Stroke 7.3 made only a brief entry and I do not believe the Duramax ever went to sea.

I live in a land locked Province and dont get involved in boats at all. I owned a canoe once.

Much to my surprise the Navistar 6.4 went to see under Caterpillar guise.
