5.3 made in...

Thanks 15HDriver. Identifying where the truck is made is easy - I was curious about where the engine was made. Not that it matters, but I am curious.

 

I will look for the code on the label on the engine (like you mentioned in post #2), but how do I decipher the code? Is there a list of the codes and their meaning somewhere.?

 

The code breakdown is posted above. Lemme find a copy of a label to post so everyone can see what the label looks like. I'm working on the plant code info as well.

What the label looks like:

 

 

I re-did the info I posted on the first page below here:

 

Engine identification can also be made through use of the Engine Traceability label (2) on the rear of the left cylinder head, or the Engine Traceability label (3) on the engine block as shown.

1. Broadcast Code
2. Machine Readable 2D Matrix
3. VPPS Code
4. Part Sequence Number
5. Reserved use
6. Broadcast Code
7. Model year
8. Julian Date
9. Build Year
10. Shift ID
11. Plant ID
12. GM Part Number
13. Plant DUNS Number

15. RPO/Engine Family Code
