05' truck 04' engine?

Do all 05' trucks have the latest and greatest 6.0 or did they put 04 motors in some of the 05 trucks?

From my latest research, 05 trucks all have 05 engines. Look on the passenger side valve cover and see if there is a red sticker stating engine year, hp, torque, etc. I am still trying to find if the build date is on the FICM like on 03s and 04s.

I guess I will have to take a trip up to the dealers and pop the hood on some 05's. Maybe I will drive one to see if it is better than my 03.

I think I saw a post that said 05 trucks would all recive 05 motors and remaining 04 motors would be used up in excursions

Have the 05 in a F-550 4x4 and seems the motor runs like my 04 before they did the reflash, but cant complain other than a belt squeal when new, dealer fixed that and now over 18000 miles and still runnin great.

Thanks,

Taking delivery of my new 05 on Friday to replace my DSB'd 04/03. Can't wait, it looks like most are happy with the 05's.
