2000 and earlier had forged rods....and there is probably a build cutoff date because some 2000s came with PMRs.Umm IIRC, it was 10/2000 that they changed over to the PMRs, but that is disputed because some later build trucks have forged in them.
Diesel Innovations website used to have a picture of the inspection hole and directions on how to determine what type of rods you have, but its gone missing.
I'm trying to see if I can dig that up for you.

Yes I have Forged rods, Mike (Tenn) don't. My truck was built 8/2000, his was built 9/2000. I don't know if that is the difference or not. There is a plug right over where the oil filter is that will let you see inside the block. I had to use a piece of 7/16" square stock to get the plug out. It is not 1/4" or 3/8" ratchet. I did put the square 7/16" square inside a 12 point 3/8" socket in order to take the plug out. Once I got the plug out, I still couldn't see the rod nuts. I had to get my wifes magnifying mirror to look into the hole. I also had to bump the starter 5 times in order to see the nuts. There is only about 2 1/2 threads on after the nut. You don't have to drain the oil, just look and find the plug over the pan.
