It is on your FICM - silver box on the drivers side - back towards the firewall.

Under the hood. Also the date is day/month/year (not the way we are used to seeing it - ie mo/day/year).

FICM - Fuel Injection Control Module.

For the 7.3 guys it is the 6.0L version of the IDM.

The help you need is most likely a new FICM. Do not buy one off of Ebay. You get them at the dealership (some folks have talked International into selling them one).

There is a diesel place that says they can repair FICM's for less than half price of a remanufactured one (there are no more new ones). The name is SWAMPS.

That's a lot of codes. Most are injector issues. I'm surprised it runs right. You may have an FICM harness problem.

Yes, when you replace the FICM the new one has to be programmed.

You did check the FICM wiring harness, right?

There was a recall on some '04 models due to FICM wiring harness chafing issues. If your truck has not had Recall 05S34, read this to see if yours might have been affected:
