Purchased my first truck I got an 06 silverado 2500 6.0 ecsb 4x4. It's kind of a dog with the gas motor but it's a solid truck 133k miles and I got it for $5300

I bought the truck yesterday and went to change the oil this afternoon and the ac delco filter I got did not fit. I called napa with the part number for the old oil filter and they said the old filter is for an 07 silverado not an 06
So something isn't right, did I get an 07 early model truck or did they swap the engine to a new 07 motor at some point? The number on the heads says 317

The vin posted at the top of that classified page isn't the right one for the truck. If you scroll down to the bottom of the ad there is a picture of the vin 1GCHK29U56E143570.
Shows first registry event as 1/5/06. Also shows it was in Kansas then chickishaw Oklahoma. I'm not being picky about the truck as its stout and the drive train has zero stains or leaks. The u joints squeak when the truck is cold but that's about it. Factory exhaust on these things are huge, but so are the cats.
If anyone has a white tail gate or knows where I can get a good set of rock crawler wheels Please let me know

It does not run the old style. I went into wal Mart twice exchanging the filter for the 2006 twice because I thought maybe the threads were messed up. Neither of the old style fit.
I had to call napa because it was the old filter on the truck and ask them what model vehicle the old filter was for and they told me it was an 07 filter. I then went back to Walmart and bought the 07 ac delco and it fit no problem
