Which Cat 3126 do I have

I don't know if my 1998 Cat 3126 is a B or an E or ?. Can anyone help me out. It has a serial number of 1WM18409 and is a 330 hp model in a 1998, built in late 1997 Beaver Patriot. I appreciate any help identifying exactly what I am dealing with.

My research would indicate it’s a 3126 or a 3126B. The 3126 was released in 97 and was upgraded to a 3126B in 98. The 3126E wasn’t introduced until 2002.

Only way to know for sure is to call CAT. Freightliner had a bunch of 3126 in stock through 2000. My unit is a 3126 and is titled at 2000 by Tiffin and 99 by Freightliner. CAT says mine is a 3126.

Look at CoCoDave's post from the 25th the second PDF is for the 3126 series. Thanks to Dave

Thanks for the help everyone, looks like I have a early 3126. My coach was built in late 1997, Oct I believe, as a 1998 model. Engine runs great so far, just wanting to keep it that way.
