Joe look for a tag somewhere on the valve cover or somewhere else in plain 
view.  I don't know what year it is but depending on the year it could be a 
Cummins, Caterpillar or possibly a Detroit.  Might even be some sort of IH 
engine.  If you can't find a tag try to figure out how to describe the 
engine or take a picture of it and send to me and I'll post it to 
photobucket so everyone can see.  Different diesels have all together 
different quiks.
