Engine Build Date?

My truck has 02/04 build date on the drivers door; however I was wondering the easiest way to find out if my engine is an 04 or 03?

Thanks
Ryan

yours is definately an 04 engine. The break is in 10 or 11/2003 where they swapped over to the 04 engine.

On the back end of the driver's side valve cover is a sticker that have the engine's build date on it.

also on the passenger side there is a international sticker that is blue(on mine at least) that has the year stamp fairly large.
