I'm going to look at a new F350 today and I want to verify the engine serial number and build date.

I have been told that this engine has a build date of 05/09/03 but where on the engine do I find this info?

Please be specific...I have yet to look under the hood of one of these new trucks...and this will be my first diesel...so I don't know my way around.

2003 F350 C/C 4x4 DRW 6.0L 5 speed auto

Thanks

Open the hood,
look on the driver side valve cover...
you will have to get on the side and look around way in there, but there's a large white sticker with bar coding, etc..
it will also have the build date there...

 

Thanks

I know this is old, but for clarification purposes only, the ESN (Engine Serial Number) sticker should be located on the *Passenger* Side valve cover. The FICM and Intake piping are on the driver's side of the 6.0L.

Don't mean to step on anybody's toes.

 

Just stepped on the toes of a 10 year old dead post, that's all.
