after 01 they changed the crank on the iron block 6.0 truck enignes. all lq4/lq9 after that have same crank. in 05 they put LS2 rods in all 6.0L engines (ls2/lq4/lq9) as they are stronger.

technically they are LQ9 rods, not LS2 rods, since they were first used in 2002.

In that case, I suggest you do a bit of reading. There's a real good thread on this very topic if you do a search.
