Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
The engine code is essential for ordering parts, diagnosing issues, and verifying compatibility. It is not the same as the VIN or chassis number. This guide shows exactly where to find it - by model and engine type - using official Dodge and DVLA sources
A unique identifier stamped on the engine block or cover used for parts and service.
The vehicle identification number that holds encoded vehicle and engine information.
The chassis or frame number used for registration and legal identification.
Locate the engine code on the front engine cover, near the top. It is stamped into the metal or on a label near the valve cover. Look for '5.7L HEMI' marking.
The engine code is located on a label attached to the valve cover, visible from the top. It reads '3.0L EcoDiesel' or 'VM Motori 3.0'.
Open the hood and look at the intake manifold area. The code is on a label or stamped on the block. Confirm '3.6L' or 'Pentastar' marking.
The engine code is cast into the side of the engine block, near the injection pump. Look for '6.7L Cummins' or 'ISB 6.7' marking.
Engine code locations per Dodge Service Manual. V5C field definitions from DVLA Guide to Vehicle Registration. VIN structure compliant with EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, Article 7.
A technical breakdown of Dodge's core engine systems including HEMI V8, EcoDiesel V6, Pentastar V6, and Cummins diesel with documented reliability impacts. All data sourced from Dodge Service Information, Technical Service Bulletins, and EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007
The HEMI (hemispherical combustion chamber) V8 is Dodge's iconic performance engine family, available in 5.7L, 6.4L (392), and 6.2L (Hellcat) variants. Features include variable valve timing (VVT), cylinder deactivation (MDS), and multi-displacement system.
Hemispherical combustion chambers provide efficient combustion and high power output. VVT optimizes valve timing for performance and efficiency. MDS deactivates 4 cylinders under light load for fuel economy.
5.7L (2003)
Modern HEMI with VVT
6.4L 392 (2011)
Higher output, no MDS
6.2L Hellcat (2015)
Supercharged, 707+ HP
5.7L eTorque (2019)
Mild hybrid system
HEMI tick (lifter failure)
especially 2011-2016 models
Camshaft lobe wear
related to lifter failure
Exhaust manifold bolt breakage
common on high-mileage engines
Oil consumption
can increase with age

Authoritative data on Dodge's global engine production, plant operations, and strategic partnerships. All figures sourced from Dodge Annual Reports, Sustainability Reports, and EU industrial compliance records.
Dodge manufactures engines at multiple facilities across North America, each specializing in specific families.
Dodge produces over 600,000 engines per year. Note the steady decline in Diesel production due to emissions regulations and shifting consumer preference, while HEMI and Pentastar production remains strong.
Note: Diesel production has declined due to emissions regulations and market demand. HEMI and Pentastar remain core to Dodge lineup.
Long-standing collaboration since 1989. Cummins 6.7L turbo diesel powers RAM 2500/3500 heavy-duty trucks, providing legendary reliability and torque.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
Confirm the full engine designation using vehicle-specific manufacturer records and the engine marking. An engine serial number, a registration record and a marketed power badge are not automatically the same identifier. Match the VIN/build data and the installed engine before selecting parts or a replacement.
No. A factory-application reference and a replacement-interchange decision are different. Match the full engine designation, vehicle build data, emissions equipment, controls and relevant supplier/OEM information.
No. Records have different review states. Read the correction notice, source scope and application limits on the individual record. Missing technical fields must not be inferred from similar engine codes.
