You'll need to find the vin number on your truck. If the door tag is gone then check for the small plate in the bottom corner on the drivers side of the windshield, the tag can be seen by looking into the windshild from the outside of the truck. Write down your vin number.

If you scroll to the top of the FTE page there is a link called Articles/Specs, place your mouse courser over the box and a list will pop up, select "Vin Decoder" from the list. Once the vin decoder is loaded you can type in your vin number, your vin number will be decoded and you'll be presented a page full of information about your truck, somewhere amongst the info will be the date and year that your truck was manufactured.
