I am 90% sure that is a 6.2L, (looking at the water crossover) better than an early 6.5L but if they had changed the engine in 2004 it would most likely have been a GEP.

MWO 9-2320-280-20-1 Add power steering cooler
MWO 9-2320-280-35-1 relocate parking brake (from drive shaft to rear calipers)
MWO 9-2320-280-35-2 3 point seat belts

Did you buy it from GP or an individual?
If you bought it at auction there is a ton of time and money you need to spend before adding the accessories like the $1000 spare tire mount
