Difference between 5th Gen & 5.5 Gen
Ok, this is probably a stupid question,but what the hell is the difference between a 5th gen & a 5.5 gen.I mean the 5th gen is 2000-2003. Wouldn't they all be 5th gen? Is there a difference in engine displacement and can you qualify the years for me. I have a 2003,so is that considered a 5.5 gen? Thanks for answering this qustion for me and making me smarter.

Some say it's the added engine displacement, I prefer to state it's the added amenities as well as the engine.
Included example: IMO, 6th gens = 2004 - 2006, 6.5 gen = 2007-2008. No change in engine displacement, but added items and complete overhaul / change in drivetrain.

dealer was full of crap. My oil pan has scratches/scrapes in the paint with alot more miles than yours did and the rust is only surface. I know rust from the inside out when I see it, and I was the one whose finger went through it, rememeber?
