build date

Is there a way to find the day of the month the truck was built? I know I can look on the door jamb and get the month and year but I would like to know the day of the month. I'm asking because some of the TSB's state the day of the month of the last truck affected.

Thanks.

There were stickers on parts all around the truck that had dates on them. The bundle of owner's manuals had a card with a yellow stripe that had the date on it too. I think there was a date on some of the lines under the hood as well.

I did that but it only restated my VIN and told the model of my truck. I don't know why I couldn't see the info some others have been able to.

Do I need to register and then login to see more than just the year and model of my truck? That is all that comes up when I put in my VIN. I don't really have any idea how it works but I thought you only needed to register if you wanted a bunch of extra information.

Plug your VIN in here and you should get your original window sticker. It has the build date in the bottom center.

I put in my VIN and it tells me that a window sticker hasn't been generated yet for this vehicle. What a joke as it's a 2017 Lariat and I have the window sticker since I own the truck.

It told me the same thing when I tried mine.
