Question So what date was it made?

With all the spark plug problems it got me to thinking... I'm familiar with VIN's but how can I find the build date for my 2007 F-150 FX4? When can I find it? Thanks.

you wont be able to find an exact date i dont think i know you can figure out what month it was built. My F-100 was built in April of 82. i know that by the door sticker on the bottom right corner of the driver side door it should say something like 4/82 which is what mine said

The rolling change was made on 10/7/07 so if u have any month after that u are fine but u can also tell if u can get the spark plug part number as the new heads use a completely different plug from earlier 04-10/07

The driver's side valve cover has a label with the engine information.

Here goes Keith...


DOB...7/26/06
ISD...8/29/06


1/27/07...Left Front Center Cap replaced
1/27/07...Replaced warped cowl
4/19/08...Replaced cowl

But...you knew all of this...because you are the original owner...is this a test???

Your ESP expires on 8/29/11 or 75,000 miles...whichever comes first.

I have some good friends who live on Lake Keowee in Seneca...are you anywhere near there???

Hope this helps!!!

Ken

I have some good friends who live on Lake Keowee in Seneca...are you anywhere near there???

sorry ken,
i live on the opposite side of the state up in the corner near where 1-95 crosses from nc into sc (ever heard of South of the Border?) in Dillon County. Thanks for the info and no it was not a test..LOL. I really was not sure just what info was in the OASIS but it was right on...did remind me of my warranty date though. Not gonna be much of a factor as I only have a little over 9000 miles on my Screw in almost 2 years......but yes, i love it!
it has the Leer 700 bed cover with Bedrug installed inside, Weathertech mats front and rear with a DUHA under the rear seat. Other than that, pure stock although i do want duals and a tuner sometime in the near future but then again.....thanks and big props to you for doing this for all of us knuckleheads...you are the man!

thanks ken. that explains why around my fuel door is rusting. the paint came off in some spots. This is kinda scaring me with all that stuff wrong the salesman said he knew the old owner cause he sold him the truck and his new one and he had really no problems to speak of.
