They all look close to the same but many small differences. The injectors, turbo and camshafts can be different depending on emissions years. 2008-2009 are the same. 2010-2012 are the same. 2013-2015 ? OBD are the same. Sometime between 2014-2016 the GHG (greenhouse gas ) engine came out. You can tell it by the spacer under the valve cover . Then in 2017 the common rail engine came out , it also has the spacer under the valve cover but the injector harness runs through it .  Then in 2020-2021 the engines started coming with only 2  oil filters.  In 2022 the software systems and cab ECM’s are different and called VMAC 5  instead of VMAC 4 like the past MP engines .

Yup like pro says you really got to be carefull  buying a used engine for this stuff!  I suggest , stick to a same year same model search , All things are not created equal from year to year on these as the EPA changes the rules every two days it seems! so the manufactures are forced to tweak this that and the other thing to be compliant! Soft wear is constantly changing!
