VIN and door tag decode????

  • Sponsors (?)


This is from my Haynes Repair Manual for '94-'03 'Stangs

Counting from the left the 8th (eighth) digit is the engine code:

4 = 3.8L V6
W = 4.6L SOHC V8
V = 4.6L DOHC V8
T = 5.0L H.O. V8
D = 5.0L Cobra V8


The 10th (Tenth) digit (from left) is the year of the car:

R = 1994
S = 1995
T = 1996
V = 1997
W = 1998
X = 1999
Y = 2000
1 = 2001
2 = 2002
3 = 2003


And that's all it says.
 
Thanks guys that helped....but now for more...??????

In the VIM what does the 9th digit represent?

And I found out some of the definitions for the coding on the door tag but still curious about the following:

Region Code.....72 ???
BRK code....1 ??
Radio code....R ??
Transmission code...G ???
Springs code...G ???
Powertrain code...2ZE2M F05 ?????


Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.:SNSign:
 
The book I have said the 9th digit is called check digit (internal usage). I don't know what that means. Here is a picture of the page, I hope you can read it...This book is only good for 1980-1995.
