Call the dealer and have them open the door and tell you what it says the build date was. If they wont for whatever reason, well that would tell me enough...
I believe the change is something in how the injectors are fired. I really dont know, but thats what I was told by TST and Van Aaken when I called asking about the PMCR and C5. Obviously VA is history now, and from the looks of it, TST isnt going to come out with anything.
Had I known about the differences, I woulda looked for an early 06, cause the dealer had plenty of 06s, and I KNEW I was going to put a TST on before I left the dealer, only to find out it didnt work on my truck; I had the third 07 in the area. Do I regret it? ABSOLUTELY....NOT!! Love my truck, and anymore, especially with Smarty, other than maybe an MP8, you really dont need to stack...
By the way, enjoy the new truck

thats real close to the cut off, i wonder if i have an early or late model ecm. Anyone know how i can verify this? Run the part number on the ecm maybe?

I wonder, is it the build date of the truck or the motor?
The valve cover on the Cummins (on mine) says Date of Mfg :03-28-06 (which was a Tuesday BTW - better than a Friday or Monday!)

It has to be the motor not the body assembly. The ECM is part of the engine build.
