Armstrong is owned by Lennox. With Lennox it would be May 2005.

The first two no. are the plant, 2nd two are the year, the letter in 5th slot the month.

Very unusual to get readings out of the newer furnaces, even if the the heat exchanger is cracked...due to the induction motor, which lowers the pressure in the exchanger and makes it much more difficult for the gases inside the exchanger to mix with the air blowing around the outside of the exchanger. Was the induction motor working or had it's safety been tampered with? Chimney pluggged? Massive heat exchanger failure??? Curious, if you find out...
