FAW Truck Parts: The Complete Guide to Genuine Spare Parts, Part Numbers & Sourcing

Faw Trucks | China Faw Jiefang Group

When searching for FAW truck parts, the biggest challenge isn’t finding a supplier—it’s ensuring the parts you order will actually fit your specific truck. FAW produces multiple truck series (J6, J7, JH6, JK6, J5N, Tiger), and even within a single series, configurations differ based on engine model, transmission type, and production year.

 

 

This guide explains how to identify the correct FAW parts, provides reference part numbers for common replacement components, and covers the global parts supply infrastructure behind FAW’s export operations.

Why FAW Part Numbers Matter

FAW trucks are assembled with components from multiple suppliers, including Weichai engines, FAW’s own CA6DM/CA6DL engine family, Fast (Faster) transmissions, and FAW axles. A parts catalog that lists a part number without application details—such as engine model or cab configuration—can easily lead to wrong orders.

For example, the alternator for a FAW J6 with a CA6DM2 engine differs from the alternator used on a J6 with a CA6DL engine. Similarly, clutch components for different transmission models are not interchangeable. This is why FAW’s parts system uses precise OEM numbers tied to specific chassis and engine configurations.

How to Identify the Correct FAW Parts

Identify Your Truck Model and Engine

The single most reliable method for parts identification is using your truck’s model code and engine model. FAW’s major truck series have distinct parts requirements: 

Beyond the series, you need to know your engine model (CA6DM2, CA6DL2, WP10, WP12, etc.), transmission type, and production year. Design changes between years may require updated parts.

Use OEM Part Numbers as Verification

A properly formatted FAW parts catalog should list OEM part numbers alongside English part names. The part numbers below serve as a reference for common replacement items. Always verify compatibility with your specific truck’s configuration before ordering.

Genuine vs. Aftermarket FAW Parts 

FAW genuine parts are subjected to rigorous testing and validation to comply with FAW’s quality standards. The company’s parts business is structured around original supporting products for major engines, ensuring load quality and family service.

For critical systems—brakes, engine, and transmission—genuine OEM parts are strongly recommended. They ensure perfect fit and function, and support warranty coverage. Aftermarket parts may be considered for non-critical items like filters, lights, and accessories, but quality varies by brand.

FAW explicitly warns against using unqualified filter elements, stating that they can cause premature engine wear. The company recommends using filter elements produced by the original factory or tested by the FAW Technology Center.

FAW’s Global Parts Supply Network

FAW has built a robust global parts infrastructure to support its exported vehicles. A clear example is the Algeria railway project, where 338 FAW trucks were deployed. With the support of FAW’s spare parts consignment warehouse in Algeria, quick parts supply and timely maintenance services were guaranteed, removing operational worries for the project.

FAW Jiefang has also partnered with logistics providers to establish a stable and efficient international end-to-end supply chain service system, covering complete vehicle exports, transport of overseas KD components, and supply of after-sales spare parts.

For dealers and distributors, FAW authorized agents maintain large inventories of mechanical parts at regional distribution centers. In Ethiopia, for example, FAW Trucks Ethiopia maintains a large inventory of mechanical parts at its Addis Ababa and regional distribution centers, ensuring that these “workhorses” stay on the road for decades.

Maintenance Reference for FAW Trucks

Oil Change Intervals

For FAW models with long oil change intervals, FAW recommends using Weichai special long-mileage engine oil (CI-4, 10W/40) for WP10H/WP12/WP13 models, or CH-4 grade or higher for CA6DK/CA6DH models.

Transmission oil change intervals: Every 50,000 km for road vehicles and 20,000 km for off-road vehicles. Check the transmission oil level every 10,000 km and add as required.

Air Filter Maintenance

The main air filter element must be maintained timely, otherwise the filter element may be blocked, engine power decreases or fuel consumption increases. If the filter element is damaged, it may cause premature wear to the engine.

Maintenance of main filter element: Every 20,000 km in general areas. In dusty or windy areas, shorten the maintenance mileage appropriately. It must be replaced with a new main filter element after 4 times of maintenance or 1 year of use.

Summary

Using a FAW truck parts catalog effectively requires more than just finding a part number. The model-based approach through FAW’s official parts system remains the most reliable method for ensuring compatibility. The OEM part numbers listed above provide a practical starting point for identifying commonly replaced components, but always verify against your specific truck’s configuration before ordering.

For fleet operators and distributors, FAW’s global parts supply network—including consignment warehouses, regional distribution centers, and authorized dealers—provides significant efficiency gains in parts sourcing. When in doubt, consult authorized FAW parts distributors who have access to the official parts system.
