How do you know if your rods are forged? Anything in the VIN? by year or MFG date? I hear some say 2000's are forged, but wouldn't it be by production date? Anyone know the production date?
Thanks
They are 7.3L OEM forged rods But i believe that they came from the older 7.3L , I think 98' or under ?? Check with the guys at the above site they will know 4 sure.
The forged OEM 7.3L Rods are also bein' manu'ed by Crower but I think they go for 2k
Good Luck, If I am wrong the guys who are techs on this site will correct me , but the guy's at diesel innovations will know also....

the forged rods are stronger then the powder metal rods. There for if you are going to build alot of hp out of your engine you best get forged rods.
