How do i tell if my vehicle was the high output.

Mine was made in like 8/03....but it is a 2004

Any ideas?

 

Simply look on the valve cover data tag. If it says 325 HP it is, 235 HP it isn't.
Here is a link to a site with spec's.

i looked that site up....mine says its 305 horsepower.

Does anyone know where the vin is at on these engines?

I bought this truck used. The door vin shows its a 2004 manufactured in 8/03

The valve cover shows its 4 of 03 with a horsepower of 305.....Did someone switch my valve cover or change the engine? Vin number location?

 

you have the HO 03 model bascilly the 04 model. It changed on Jan 04 to the 325 hp model know as the 04.5. The differences is the injectors the exhasut is 3.5", you have no CAT, and a manual wastegate turbo. Nothing wrong with the motor you got a little less on the electronics and no emission system.

 

The 305/555 motor is a great motor. All cummins are.

 

Yessir. 305 motor. I like my SO "S"uper "O"utput though!

 

Got my HO last September and loving it. My buddy gets better gas mileage with his SO, but I got that extra PUNCH. Got to give some to get some.

 

That's okay, it doesn't take too much for the ol SO boys to catch up and pass.

 

The standard output (by #'s) will gain more power with mods, because they start off with a lower amount.
