How do you know what engine you have?

I was reading on another post in here and they said there are two motors
5.3l 295hp @ 5200 rpm 335lb-ft torque @ 4000 rpm
5.3l ho 310hp @5200 rpm 335 lb-ft torque @ 4000 rpm
How can I tell which one I have.

Thanks inadvance

There is a sticker in the glove box called a SPID label. It will have a bunch of 3 letter alphanumeric codes.

You did not say what year but the Engine Code will start with L

Sorry I have a 2002 GMC Sierra Z-71 5.3L
for the 310 hp it will have an L code?or is that for the 295 hp? And what would that code be?

Thanks I'll have to go check it out.
