I will admit to not looking since I had it serviced at the dealer. I'm not the mechanic, I figure out ways to make computers do what I want them to do all day.

Well when you're on a trip and get a bad load of fuel, it would be way easier to wriggle under there and flip a lever than to get out the 6mm Allen wrench (that I sure hope you keep in your glovebox!) and wriggle under there and get a diesel bath. This is one area where the 7.3 just has it all over the 6.0. On our '97 you just pop the hood and reach in and flip a lever. No wriggling required.
When the new HFCM is available as a replacement part, I plan to buy one. It will stink to have to pay all that money for something Ford (well, Racor) should have done right in the first place, but it's just a no-brainer for each time I have to use it (at a minimum every fuel filter change for the next couple of hundred thousand miles.)

Your truck would have to be built on or after the "Job 2" date, which is sometime around now (or maybe after the holiday shutdown?) They never tag a truck with a build number, just a build date. On the sticker in the door it gives the month/year, and in the Ford computers it has the specific day. And then you'd just need to know the build number start dates via internet rumor or whatever.
Seems to me that the best way to spot a Job 2 '05 is going to be the lever on the drain!
