Engine build date?

Newbie here. I have read that you can tell the build date of the 6.0 PSD by a white barcode on the driver's side valve cover. I see that but all that is on there is a VIN number and a series of numbers, none of which look like a date to me. Can someone help me determine the build date of my engine? Thanks in advance.

It is hard to see. It is on the driver side and to the rear. I had to use a flashlight and a stepstool. You will see where the engine was made as well. It's there. The other option is go to the dealer, give them the VIN # and they should be able to tell you engine and truck build date.

SBV45. Thanks for the pointer. I found it this morning. I was looking on the valve covers and it was actually in between the covers, on top of the engine, towards the firewall. Thanks again!
