Question Engine build date

Hello,
I have a 2006 F350 cc psd automatic build date of 03/06. I have been trying to find the build date of the engine. I looked on the driverside valve cover and found the barcode system with numbers underneath it. I was wondering if anyone could help me decode them.

The numbers are as follows


2614 / 7268 / 2


Thanks.


p.s. I love the site

06f350psd,

You need to look at the Yellow sticker on the drivers side module on top of the valve cover.

Those numbers you have appear to be from the white sticker.

Hope this helps

And the date is in the form of: YYMMDD? Is that right? (For ex.: mine is 060622, or June 22, 2006)

2006 F250. The build date on the truck is 11/11/05. I guess the truck was sitting for 5 days without a motor, oops Harry, we forgot something on this one!

Must be common. I know my certification sticker is 11/05. I think the actual build date is 11/17/05. And the PCM sticker has a date of 221105. They all must have been in a hurry to leave for Thanksgiving break and realized they forgot somethin'.............like a motors.........
