trying to submit my smog (?) docs for my 1990 3208 cat motor on my Breakaway for California CARB ( Air Resources Board) . Not a prob as passed the emissions opacity test ( no visual smoke ) but they need a pic of the ECL (Emissions Control Label). Thats supposedly located on the left side (as you are looking at the front of the motor) valve cover which is completely covered by engine bay roof/ceiling and I can't get to it..easily..

Anyone have a pick of that decal/tag by chance..?

Might have this 'engine family' # on it: LPCT0636TEPC1 (not specific to my particular motor, just to the 'family' of cat motors those emmission specs are for..

have a call into Gillig in Hayward and to CAT central attempting to get a pic or at least what the tag lists..

Thanks in Advance..

Mike W

getting ready to possibly sell my rig also..Might have a local guy interested..

Mike, Caterpillar places this tag on the valve cover, it contains all engine information including emissions information. It is typically about 2x3” in size. I don’t remember which valve cover.

FYI: 3208’s are subject to cavitation erosion! Be sure to maintain your coolant to prevent this. I believe there is an sacrificial anode in the block too, if not, add one!

Hey Billy, thanks for the input.. As I mentioned, it's on the left side valve cover as you look at the front of the motor. Just hoping someone has a pic of one in their vehicle photo archieves, so I actually can see the contents of it.. Really would like that!

Anyone aware of what other brands used 3208's back in the early 1990's? Foretravel, Blue Bird, Beaver, Elite, Monaco, and/or other Gillig or Oshkosh chassis rigs, etc..

Going to ask those folks also..
