If u can see the engine from behind there is a yellow tachometer in the middle of the valley if it has a bolt on the right its a 6.2 if the bolt is on the left its a 6.5

I was hoping there was a way to tell from the top and or front. It was the auction trucks Im wondering if they could be miss labeled and how I could identify that from the pictures they show.

Probably half the listings I have checked showed this area of the engine in at least one of the pics. I have found 2-3 that were mislabeled on GP including one I won.

When you can see the rear side of the engine you can see the difference in the seal. The 6.5 has the seal that's replaceble from the outside. The 6.2 has a 2 part seal that can only be reached when removing the oilpan.

Also the 6.2 normally have the 3 belts and the 6.5 a single serpentine belt.
