04....04.5? Whats up with that

[DButtram]

I just purchased my first diesel a 2004 Dodge Ram2500 Quadcab 4X4 and before taking delivery I joined the TDR community. How do you know if you have a 04 or an 04. 5?

you can look on the engine if its 305hp its 04 if its 325 hp rating its 04. 5

Thanks for clearing that up for me. On the VIN plate the date of manufacture is 2-04 but the tag on the side of the engine valve cover says 325HP so 04. 5 it is.
