Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The FPT engine serial number and model code are typically stamped on a plate attached to the engine block or printed on a label affixed to the block. On Case and New Holland equipment, this is usually accessible from the right-hand side of the engine compartment. The serial number format includes the engine family code followed by a sequential serial number. Provide both the model code and serial number when ordering parts.

FPT Industrial and Iveco are both CNH Industrial companies and share technology and platforms. Iveco commercial vehicles use FPT-derived engines, and some parts cross over between applications. However, there are application-specific differences in calibration, sensors, and aftertreatment components. Always confirm using the engine serial number rather than assuming cross-compatibility based on model designation alone.

Yes. We source parts for FPT NEF, Cursor, and F-series engines across multiple emissions tiers — Tier 3, Interim Tier 4, and Final Tier 4. Many of our Houston-area customers operate a mixed fleet spanning multiple model years and emissions standards. We handle all of them.

Yes. Our technicians are experienced with FPT's common rail fuel system used on Tier 4 NEF and Cursor engines including Bosch and Delphi high-pressure pump and injector systems. We perform pressure testing, injector flow testing, pump diagnosis, and complete fuel system repairs and component replacement.

Yes. We source full overhaul gasket sets and rebuild kits for major FPT engine families including the NEF 4.5L, NEF 6.7L, Cursor 9, and Cursor 13 series. Kits include all gaskets, seals, and O-rings required for a complete engine overhaul. Contact us with your engine model code for a kit quote.
