Searched the forum and found this question, but no answers:
Is the truck's VIN stamped on the engine anywhere? In other words how can you verify the engine is original to the truck?

Yes, its on the driver side of the engine. You can see it when your laying behind the front tire near the oil filter. Last 8 digits I think.

Yeah but that just tells you the engine serial number not the trucks VIN.

Unless it was the tranny i was looking at.
Its on the drivers side above the oil filter, i think the surface its printed on it facing the back of the truck.
