turbo question

i've been reading on here that the turbo on the '03 6.0 is quite a bit louder than the other years. my question is that my '04 has an engine with an '03 build and was wondering if everything for the '03 applies to my '04? thanks much for the info.

Turbo was not changed until 04 job 2 trucks starting with build date Sept 29, 2003 (starting with Indianapolis serial# 6155637 and Huntsville serial# 0094580). The updated turbo's had 3 vanes added on the exhaust turbine to reduce noise.

If your engine was built on or after Sept 29, 2003 you have the updated 04 motor and not the 03 motor.

6speed_whistler,

Look at the sticker on the FICM (its mounted on the left valve cover as well) it has date code on it and will give you the build date of the motor. Also the sticker on the drivers B-pillar will give you the month the truck was built .
