Default 5.9 Motor

Thinking about buying a 5.9 Magnum motor but cannot figure out how to tell the 5.2 from the 5.9. Is there any easy way? What years were better than others for the 5.9?

No way externally besides the engine casting numbers. Just pull the VIN number or look under the hood for the label.
