'05 6.0 Changes
Probably need to copy this before it goes away.
Super info with pic's.
Looks like the biggest change is...they deleted the rest of the truck!

By my read some items, like the VGT Control Valve, can be retro-fit to the '03 / '04 6.0s.
Many items, it seems, cannot. Compatability is carefully noted at the end of each description for most applications.

05 EGR system redesign
Looking at the chages made to the EGR system, I posted in Stickey regarding unplugging the EGR. This opens up a new discussion on whether or not 05 owners have risk in unplugging the EGR. Here is a link to the post:https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...&page=15&pp=25

So I would say "NO" - only actual MY 2005 trucks have these changes.

build date?
The serial number should be on the label on the FICM cover, yes.

This may be worthy of its own thread! I just noticed that draining the HFCM will no longer require the little hex wrench and entail diesel fuel running down your arm to your armpit. The new one has a little lever you open and spout to direct the fuel into a container. Can't wait to rub that one in to my friend!
