Block Id

There should be a number, digitally etched onto a pad down along the pad rail, I believe on the pass. side of the block. A long time ago, I was able to track that number I found on a block to the fact it came from a truck. This was back in about 04-05 and I can't even begin to remember how I went about tracking it. Isa ***** gettin' old.

Look for that number, if not the one you already have, and find a good Chrysler parts counterman. I'll be he could help tell you what it's from. For that matter, why do you need to know? It's either a variable cam block (09 up) or not variable cam (08 down). Other than that, they're the same between the cars and trucks...



The etched in number is most likely the engine plant information - (It came from Mexico).

They also stamp the vehicle VIN number on the engine, that will help determine what assy plant it came out of, which can help narrow down what car/truck it came in....
