'05 or newer Cummins head

How can you tell if a head is an'05 or newer head? I have found one that is suppose to be off an '05 and I was just wanting to make sure I got the right head.

I can look at my head today being I have the all the rockers off and see if I can find any casting numbers.Don't know if thats an accurate way to tell but maybe it will help.

I'm not sure of the differance, but yes.

Timinva's 555 motor has an '06 head.

From what I have heard the '05 and newer heads flow better than the '03 head. Also the '05 head is less prone to drop a valve, from what I have heard.
