Don't know what you mean by style ,but if you are referring to wrist pins it will be floating .The LQ4 04 and earlier had pressed pins. LQ9s had floating pins from the start.

LQ9 had floating from the beginning, 1st year was 2002 Escalade and it had to be 4x4 vin N , the connecting rod part# 12607475. The LQ4 changed to floating in the late 2004 run. So all 6.0 2005 and later will be floating. This info is tuff to find.
