Conflicting date codes
But also noticed the build date, at least on the sticker was Oct. 97', the truck's build date on the door sticker is Feb 96'. Could the motor have been changed out at some time or is it common for truck chassis to sit in storage for a while before a motor is dropped in?
I thought that a lot of bolt on pieces are reused when and engine is changed (valve covers, intake and exhaust manifolds, etc) .
I could be wrong when it comes to warranty swaps though.
