2003 pistons Need some help kinda quick
I am putting a used set of pistons back in my truck. What is the cutoff date on when they changed the pistons. 2004 or 2004.5 trucks? Or 2005 trucks?
I think there is a bowl pattern difference but I cant look at the pistons as of right this minute. They have low mileage - going to get them but need to know b/c they are still in an engine that manufacture date is January of 2004.

The pistons you melted are from an 03-04 engine. Sometime is May of 04.5 is when the engines got onto the streets with the 3 injection events and the newer piston design.
The 235, 250 and 305 HP engines have the older style like you melted.
The 325 HP engines use the newer style
