The numbers are to the drivers side of the ip gear housing (oil fill tube). It is flat and level. The only part of the # you need to know is the very first part....either starting with 6.9U or 7.3U...that will tell you what the engine is for sure.

3d u2 u5 09273 and after that there is a * looking symbol. no idea but is the 73 at the end the engine size?
Thanks fellas
***EDIT it is 7.3d in the front, had some buildup and it is gone now to clearly state 7.3d***

are these numbers on the IP gear cover? Mt 6.9 would say its a 7.3 if you looked at the IP cover since I had to change it for the Tach sensor.
