Good morning guys! I was up earlier today than I am all week.... just doesn't seem right. In the spirit of the GtG I had myself a bunch of donuts today. I didn't make them however, as I'm not as talented as Cory! LOL
Good to know Dave! I'm glad I'm not in the lame crowd this week!

Those would be the motor codes. ALHs are more dependible, while the PD are way more power.
PD stands for 'pump deuce' and have a cam shaft driven fuel pump. it provides a lot more fuel, and is highly pressurized. The negative with that motor is that since the fuel pump is on the cam shaft, it puts a lot more stress on the cam- and they can break. Cams seems to wear out on the PD around 150k.
With both motors, there is a lot of power and milage that can be gained with simple modifications.
The biggest are a better tune, and Nozzles with better spray patterns.

auto or manual?

2004 was the change over. I was thinking both were offered that year. Motor code should be on the head.

It usually the non-belt side of the motor, however, the engines all look dramatically different. If it looks like that, it's guaranteed to be a PD.
PDs aren't all bad, just got to watch for the cam.
VE Bosch, pumpe duse, and common rail fuel injection
