Build date question
Is the date on the bottom right of the window sticker the actual build date? The reason I am asking is because the build date on the engine is 5 days later. Just curious if this means anything. Thanks.

Yes- it means they shipped the truck out before they installed the engine.

Sorry- couldn't resist. Build dates are "the week of," not the actual date it was completed and shipped.

So then it's not weird that I show 1/12/06 on the sticker and the 17th of January on the engine? How long does it take engine to get from International to Kentucky? Do they overnite them? I have a sense of humor too!

Back in January, we were short PSD's. I wonder if they held up some production to match with engines?
