'01 pmr or forged???
'01 pmr or forged???
does my '01 psd 4dr 4x4 have powdered metal rods or forged? I did a search to find out what years had them but couldn't figure it out. I don't know if I have a early or late '01. I was just curious what I had so I could plan future mods.

not sure what the answer is on that..but what is your build date??
Mine was built sept 9, 2000 amd had forged rods. A few earlier than that and almost all of them after that will be PMR's.
The best way to find out is to pull the inspection plug in the block and look for yourself.

driver side Valva cover has a build date of your motor, but the best way to know for sure is to look in inspection hole, i cannot find the link now

I'd like to look in the inspection hole in my engine, but can't get the plug out. It seems 5 years of Michigan salty winter roads have corroded the plug so bad I can't get anything to remove it. Any ideas on how to remove the plug?

Yeah....that is frikkin odd, but Mikes engine has been something of a mystery ever since he discovered the PMR's. His the only only truck I've seen built before October that I've heard of with PMR's.
Tell me about it. Almost makes me want to go back out there and look again, but I spent too much time trying to see something that I wasn't going to see the first time. Maybe I needed reading glasses back then already, LOL.
Maybe I ought to get a pic of the rod cap itself.
