2005 was a transitional year for motors and some will have the earlier single row (worst reputation but many options for replacement) and some the last single row large bearing which is much better but can't be replaced without splitting the motor's case at much expense.
Can't tell which from the VIN or engine serial number despite what some internet claims would have you think. You can increase the probability by knowing the date of manufacture but there is still the chance that the factory just did one last dip into the parts bin.
