    LX VIN Decoding

    I was able to identify most of the postions except
    Position 1 - I have number 2
    Postion 4 - I have letter F
    Position 7 - I have number 7
    Does anyone else these values and know what they mean?
    Thanks

    position 1 = country of origin
    1 = daimler chrysler corporation.
    2 = daimler chrysler canada inc.
    3 = daimler chrysler de mexico


    position 4 = restraint/GVWR
    F = 4100-5000 lbs. (hatchback)


    position 7 = body style
    7 = hatchback tall
    Izzy pics money talks. unfortunately, mine usually says... "good bye!"

    dang, in the fourth digit i have a 'G'
    maybe my GVWR is from 5001 - 6000 lbs.
    must be because of the trailer tow group i ordered.

    how do i tell if i have the very first 2006 built?

    Cool:

    2 Daimler Chrysler Canada Inc.
    D Dodge
    8 Multipurpose Passenger Vehicle with side airbags
    G 5000 - 6000 lbs
    Z Magnum AWD Line
    5 Premium Series
    7 Hatchback Tall Body Type
    2 5.7L V8 cyl. HEMI Multiple Displacement Gasoline
    _ Check Digit
    6 2006
    H Brampton
    424___ Six Digit Number From Plant

    Makes for an interesting description of the vehicle.

    Does the last 6 digits mean there have been 424000 of these cars in this series built before mine if mine ends with 424000?

    Are you sure 2 is for Canada? That website says 1 was Canada.

    (Also I was guessing on Z. Z is for AWD, but not sure what that Vehicle Line is called.)

    Does anybody know how to decode the six digits assignend by the assembly plant (build sequence). I think I read it once but didn't mark it down. Thanks in advance. Bud

    My 3rd is a 4... "Miltipurpose Pass Vehicle with side airbags".... I never knew I had side airbags! Or is that just the 2 airbags up front? (yes I know side is different than front!)

    I want to know why my 2005 300C doesn't have a "2" for Hemi MDS engine, instead of the "H" I currently have.

    Was their two kinds made??
