I am refering to all 2005 model year vehicles as well. Many of them carry the oversized, non serviceable bearings, precluding retrofits without a complete engine teardown. LN Engineering even had a tech breif out on this point, warning owners to be sure which bearing is actually in a 2005 vehicle before ordering parts as they are non returnable.

We have found oversized IMS bearings in early 2005 production cars, and the smaller removable IMS in late production date cars. This is why the only proven way to know which version is in a 2005 car is to take it apart and look.
