You need to look at the VIN stamp on the trans and compare. I have seen variations of the stamps to some degree over the years.

I agree. If the guy was going to re-stamp, why would he/they make the 5 like that?

It's funny you talk about the tranny stamp, the vin # is the exact same size but it's not exactly straight. Maybe because it's a little curved there? Note the tranny date is the SAME as the engine date????

That is a common anomoly at the LA Plant. All the plants have their own characteristics. That pad is the real deal.

The CKU pad doesnt look right to me.
