Help with identifying replacement engine

New to the forum and just purchased my first diesel. It's a 2004 f250, crew, 4x4.

Previous owner said he was told the truck got a new engine just before he bought it. However, he said he could not prove it. I think it is a new engine because the icp sensor is on the passenger valve cover and the truck is an early April-04 model. Early 04s had the icp sensor beneath the turbo next to the firewall. So, I think there's some truth to his claim.

How do I find out what specific engine is in the truck without pulling the engine. I need to know which parts to get.

Second question. Where it's the best place to get filters? Do most of u buy on line?

Thanks

ALL 2004 model year trucks with a vehicle build date of September 29th, 2003 and later are considered LATE build 2004 model year trucks. Only trucks that have a build date earlier than mentioned above, are considered EARLY build trucks.

Autozone carries OEM oil filters, it an FL-2016. I believe Wal-Mart also carries them. Fuel filter I used to get from the dealership but I will now be ordering the from Riffraff online.
