VIN Decoding

I was able to identify most of the postions except
Position 1 - I have number 2
Postion 4 - I have letter F

Does anyone else these values and know what they mean?
Thanks

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.)

This is as "current" as I could find on the net about the plants. Obviously with the 300M being the predecesor to the LX, it is made there currently.

My SRT8 was built in Graz Austria and the first digit is 1.

Also in position 5 I have "9" which is not on the list.

Hey. fnkychkn where is the plate on 05 magnum that gives me paint code and etc. I understand to properly match paint that you need to match paint with serial# on bright silver metalic.
thanks ed williams
aka hemi maverick
paint and trim codes are on the vehicle certification label (rear edge of driver's door). paint and trim codes should be on the bottom line of this label.
PNT = paint
TRM = trim
