H/O with automatic

[Sixspeed]

This guy I work with has a 2001 2500 LWB H/O automatic. I thought that you could only get the H/O with a sixspeed. I have looked at the truck and the window sticker and it says H/O. I looked at the engine everything looks like the engine in my truck. How can you tell for sure.

look at the engine data plate and see what the hp is. if it's a HO it will say 245.

Sixspeed,



The data plate is located on the driver side, near the front of the engine, mounted vertically (if you didn't already know ) Good luck!!

My data plate is actually out in front, even in front of the radiator and intercooler. Mine doesn't say anything about the horsepower, but it does say ETH and DEE among all the other codes.

Take a good look at the turbo. If it is an HO he will have a brass elbo hooked to a hose for the bypass. If it is the regular turbo he will have a steel line that cannot be changed out without modifying.

Of course the engines are going to look the same. They all look the same from 2000 to 2002,just the internals and ECM programs are where the difference is. I still don't believe has an HO with the automatic... it simply doesn't exist. The window sticker doesn't prove anything,they are printed by a human being,and I have seen some goof ups.

The way to tell is by the Cummins factory horsepower rating thatis stamped on the engine data plate that is mounted on the driverside-front of the engine timing cover attached sideways.

If it's an HO then it will say 245hp,and if not it will say 235hp.



TomG, the data plate mounted on your radiator support is not the engine data plate. It is called a body buck tag. The 'tags' have all the information codes for the assembly line workers to know what options are going into the truck as it travels down the assembly line. Cummins puts data plates only on the engine.
