Not really. Its a lot easier to tell what it is since a head is off. If its aluminum heads then its at least 02+, if there are 3 different length head bolts its an 02-04 I think, if its only 2 lengths, then its an 05+. However thats not absolute because 04-05 there were both. Also if the pistons are dished its an lq4, flat its an lq9. Make sure it says 6.0 on the block as well.

There is a casting number on the block, but it doesnt tell you what year it is from.

You tune your PCM for the motor, is it for your truck?

It would be easier to just have yours tuned; they use the same computer. Any half decent tuner could make it work, assuming you are reusing your current injectors and throttle body.

Look at the valley cover bolts. If they are 10mm, its the <2004 style engine. If they are 13mm, it is a >2004 style with the big rods. That's all that matters
