Hey everyone, I was curious to how you can tell if you have a SO or a HO on a 2003 2500 CTD, I checked the specs for the 03's on cars.com and they showed 3 differant Cummins engines for that truck that year. So i was curious to how you would identify this on the truck?

Yes, that sticker shows the hp rating of the engine. 235CaSO, 250SO, or 305HO.

there was a mid year split in '03 also straight '03's had the HO only with the 6 spd., the auto's were 47RE @ 250 or 235ca. The '03.5's had the HO available with the 6spd or the 48RE auto.
