Hmmm...If your truck gray, you and I are gonna have to talk.
Welcome to FTE.
You will find the engine build date label affixed to the FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module) which is located to the rear and just above the driver side valve cover. Hard to see 'cause you have to look around the degas coolant bottle etc....I have found that a flash light helps.
An example of how the white label will read: 03-10-03...3rd day - 10th month - year '03.
To verify also look at the passenger side valve cover for the IPC sensor attached to the forward area of the valve. This indicates that it is for sure an '04 engine build...by it's design.
Your engine build date is very useful info as you read thru the 6.0 forum.
Good luck and feel free to fire away with question, concerns, or just smooth out bragging.

Truck Gray? I somewhat familiar with super duties but not the 6.0L. My last truck was a 91 F250 with the 7.3IDI diesel.
Ahhh yes, I am going to look at that tomorrow. It definitely helps out when deciphering the forums.
I understand the build date on the FICM, but I don't know what the IPC sensor is?
Thanks for the enlightenment !

If you look at my signature you will see that we have, basically, the same truck and may even share similar build date. Mine is Dark Shadow Gray.
Mine has approx. 21,000+ really good, fun miles BTW.

Boy, you are right on the hump but, I think Sept 29 was the last '03 engine production day....now look at the passenger side valve cover for the ICP sensor toward the forward area, top of valve cover. If the cover in this area is w/o sensor it is an '03.
