Do U have the VIN that it came out of? If not, U have the means to read the PCM??
Look at the rear edge of the block, dr side, and see if there are numbers lasered there. If the trans is a match to the engine, the upper lt edge on the bellhsg should have the same numbers...Post them up.

I tried everything to SEE the back of the engine or trans. bell. mirrors, flex rod,etc. trying to find the block number, no luck.

this engine is stuffed back so far nothing is visible, fire wall is dented in so it dont touch, about a 1/4" clearence, both sides.

it would be nice to really know what it is, it runs great tho.

sounds likely to be a 6.0 LQ4 to me.

If it's still in the truck, LOOK at the VIN!!
Then, using the amazing capabilities of GOOGLE, look what I found here....
