VIN decoding

[KnightMare]

I found a doc on Ram's website that decodes VIN's for the 2020 model year

Here's what mines say =
1C6 = FCA US LLC Truck
S = Hyd Brakes, GVWR range 7000-8000 lbs. Active belts, airbags, side bags - all rows
RFU = RF denotes 4wd. U I would assume will be updated for the TRX in the 2021 guide
9 = 6.2 L Gas V8
X = Check Digit
M = 2021 Model year
N = Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, MI
900799 = Plant sequence number

Cool. Thanks for posting it.

Ha! My favorite part. I think for the TRX, they just call it Plant Number.

so it seems that with the 2022 its now a N for 2022 model year

What is the check digit?

I'm wondering this also. I've got two almost duplicate trucks on order from the same dealership, one of them has a 4 and the other has a 9 here.

The “check digit” is a security number validating the VIN. Your sequence number is the serial number assigned to your vehicle. It also shows up on your frame (just your sequence number). The sequence number isn’t TRX specific it applies to all vehicles produced. Your sequence number is specific to your vehicle.

From that link, on the explanations in the fine print, it says the check digit is "Calculated from formula in Part 565". Whatever that means.

Yes that’s probably the same formula they use to produce vehicles. Random as hell.

It's a pretty straightforward - but complex - formula. It requires you to have all 16 of the other digits established first. I would explain it all, but you'd fall asleep halfway through.

Sounds like you had to sit thru the NICB classes too eh? Lololol
