Isuzu data includes two options: 10-digit and 8-digit.

  • Selecting 10-digit will restrict your part number searches to 10-digit entries, and will display all part numbers in 10 digit format.
  • Selecting 8-digit will allow you to search for either 8- or 10-digit part numbers. In this case, if you enter a 10-digit number, the EPC will first look for an 8-digit match, and return 10-digit matches ONLY if there are no 8-digit matches.

Hyphens do not count as part of the 8- or 10-digit total.

Copy/Paste Format Make a selection from the drop-down menu. Available for some products.
