Brian also needs some help with the engine code of "T04080RF"

My book is not helping with me with this number to well.

Th engine number should be Plant - month - day - code
So...
T= Tonawanda engine plant
04= month of April
08= day , which can't be correct
0RF= my book doesn't list this code.



Anybody able to add some input and help out?
