X2 but you can also call Keith at GDE with the VIN and I bet he can tell you.
As to the timing belt even if you pull the front end stuff to get to the belt I don't know if you could be positive although the condition of the writing on the belt might be an indication and if someone painted alignment marks on the cams, fuel pump, crank and such. By "dealer" do you mean a Chrysler/Jeep dealer? If so make them show you the service ticket or report they are supposed to place in the Chrysler/Jeep service records that are tied to the vehicle VIN (that's the sort of record CarFax hits on to show when a vehicle went into a dealer for service and what was done). If by "dealer" you mean another brand Factory dealer at minimium I'd want to see the parts order and talk to the mechanic that did the work. If by "dealer" you mean XXX Used Car lot I'd have a real hard time believing them. Alternatively if this is a trade in and it has the GDE tune then the previous owner thought highly of the vehicle and likely is/was a forum member that could confirm the TB status. Short version on a timing belt on a CRD I would not take any dealer or seller assurance without some additional proof or warranty.
If I sound cynical, been there done that on other vehicles, never mind forum members that have been told 1) the CRD has no timing belt it has a chain or 2) "our mechanic" inspected the timing belt and it's fine (you cannot inspect the timing belt without getting so far into the front of the engine that you might as well change it - e.g. they inspected the serpentine belt and did not know the difference)
