Look on the top rear of the dirver's side valve cover. You will see a sticker with the engine build date (m/d/yr). For the general month/year you can look at your ID plate on the the drivers door post.

After going over my engine again I have found some interesting info. I found the engine build date of 10/09/04 on the FICM. On the door I have a truck build date of 09/04, mm/yy. This tells me that the engine build date is dd/mm/yy not mm/dd/yy. Is this true or was my engine made afer my truck?
