ok So after searching a couple of sites, I found what may be all the meaning of each digit on the VIN for our Durango (1998-2003)
Digit 1: (Country where it was built) should always be 1 (USA)
Digit 2: (Companie who built it) B (Dodge from 2002 -) / D (Dodge from 2003 +)
Digit 3: (Vehicule type) 4 (Multipurpose) / 8 (???) I don't know why some are 8... don't even know what 8 stands for...)
Digit 4: (Gross vehicule weight) should always be H (6001-7000lbs.)
Digit 5: (Drivetrain) R (2WD) / S (4x4)
Digit 6: (Trim package) 2 (Base model) / 3 (Sport or SXT) / 4 (SLT) / 5 (SLT+) / 7 (R/T)
Digit 7: (Body style) 8 (4 door wagon)
Digit 8: (Engine size) N (4.7L) / X (3.9) / Y (5.2) / Z (5.9L)
Digit 9: (Check digit) only a check digit, says nothing on the truck's info
Digit 10: (Year) W (1998) / X (1999) / Y (2000) / 1 (2001) / 2 (2002) / 3 (2003)
Digit 11: (Assembly plant) should always be F (Newark, DE)
Digit 12 to 17: (Build sequence) the last 6 digits reprsent the build sequence of the truck
There you go hope it help to some of us... keep in mind that I did that by searching info on the net and that I could be wrong... But I did my best to find this out...
