CORRECT IDENTIFICATION
- 1999 Powerstroke Owners: To determine if your truck is an early or late 1999 model year, locate the tag on the drivers side door. Vehicles built before 12/7/98 are considered early 99 and vehicle built after 12/7/98 are considered late 99.
- Not sure which Duramax Diesel you have? If your 8th digit in the VIN number is a 1, you have a LB7, if its a 2 or 3, you have a LLY, if it is a D, you have a LBZ. LMM motors are only found in the new GMT900 body style trucks.
- Attention 2004 Model Year Owners to ensure that you have a 2004.5 Dodge Cummins “600″ 5.9L Diesel you must check the engine tag (A Red or Silver Tag) located on the drivers side of your engine. The tag should show a torque rating of 600. If it does not you most likely have a 2004 Dodge Cummins 5.9L Diesel.
