Just an update-- that 'demo' somehow morphed into a brand new truck, not even on the lot, but on its way down from San Antonio....
Car Dealers-Sheesh!!! Can they ever get their stories (lies) straight the first time?
No offense Jeff...
Anyway, it's the truck i want plus a ton of options i didnt care to have. Same as in my sig, but the PSD. Lowest price...$37,600.00
Best thing about it is I could drive the 4 hrs or so and pick it up tomorrow.

I will add to this to watch out for 2004/03 (2004 trucks with 2003 motors). The 2004 PSD motor was not installed until October of 2004, trucks built prior to October 2004 have 2003 motors in them.
Hope this helps

Oops
Glad somebody reads these and checks for spelling and content errors. Yes intended to say October 2003. Fingers don't type well late at night 
Thanks for catching this Jeff
, i don't want to be spreading any unnecessary confusion around here.It is my understanding that the 04 engines may have been installed as early as Sept. 29,2003.
Thanks again for straightening me out Jeff

The engine date code is on a sticker located on the FICM. The FICM is located on the rear of the left valve cover beside the overflow (degass) bottle on 04 motors.
Here is a link to pictures showing the location and the new ICP loction on the 04 motors.
