Rods?

For a 2000, do I have Forged rods or PMR's?

Yours should be forged, they didnt switch until late 01.

Great, I have been tossing around the idea of Propane later on. I read other posts and heard that the PMR's are weak. Any other suggestions or anything I need to know for propane?

make sure you over fuel and dont get to happy with it... if ya get over excited with it your burn your truck up..... and i would check to make sure your tranny can handle it... thats a lotta extra stress with all the HP and those 35's... maybe a deeper trans pan, the V10 trans cooler, and or an extra external trans cooler.... keep an eye on that gauge...

and most importantly Enjoy!!!

I've got a 6sp that is going to get a South Bend Clutch first.

Careful with the 'pane, it can wreak havoc even with forged rods.

gotcha, Methanol is also one of my options

The acual date for change over to PMR is October 16 2000 at serial # 1498320 on the engine tag.
That being said my truck with an October 7th build date on the tag had PMR's. So the best and only way to be sure is to physically check the rods.
