Проверка VIN номера RAM

Making a VIN is part of the manufacturing process. It’s printed or stamped on several places, so it will last through the vehicle’s life. The VIN is used internally by the manufacturer to identify a vehicle’s specifications, and during the vehicle’s life as an ID for official documents. Using this number, you can find out how the vehicle was originally configured, including options for engines, safety equipment and more. This helps you identify major changes that may affect the value of the vehicle.

Где найти VIN?

To decode the VIN, you first need to find it. Ram puts this number in several places, so there’s next to no chance of it being completely removed from the vehicle. You should be able to find the VIN in at least a couple of these locations:

• Open the driver’s side front door. On the door pillar, you will see a silver and black sticker. Near the bottom of this sticker is a bar code. The VIN is printed below this code.
• Open the hood. You will see the VIN printed either on the top of the firewall, or on the passenger’s side of the engine compartment. Most vehicles have this code stamped into the shock tower. If you don’t see it there, check the inner fender.
• On trucks, look on the passenger’s side frame rail, just ahead of the rear cab mount. The VIN will be etched into the frame, or stamped into a large plastic plate attached to the vehicle.
• Most trucks have a body code plate bolted to the frame behind the passenger side headlight. This has several long codes printed on it, detailing all of the equipment installed on the vehicle. The VIN is digits 7 to 23 on the second line of code.

Unlike most manufacturers, Ram usually prints the entire VIN on the engine and transmission. Remember that the VIN is 17 digits long. Shorter codes are either the model number or serial number for that component. You can also find this number on major body components. Adding the VIN to these parts makes them easier to trace if the vehicle is stolen. These parts include the front fenders, bumpers, hood, doors, rear quarter panels. Keep in mind that these numbers won’t match if salvage parts were used to repair your vehicle.

The VIN is also used to identify vehicles on paperwork. You can find the number on the title, insurance card and occasionally service receipts.

Подробное руководство по расшифровке VIN

The VIN isn’t just a serial number. Here’s a breakdown of what each digit means, and how you can use it to learn more about your truck or van.

The first three digits make up the World Make Identifier (WMI). This tells you where the vehicle was built. If the first digit is a 1, 4 or 5, it was built in America. A “2” is used in this position for Canadian-built vehicles, and a “3” for Mexican vehicles. European-built vehicles use characters S through Z for this position. The second digit is the manufacturer. This is “B” or “D” for Fiat Chrysler, and “C” or “D” for Daimler Chrysler. “C” is also used for Steyr, a supplier to Fiat Chrysler. The last digit is the manufacturing plant. This can cover multiple plants in a region, so it’s better to use the 11th digit to find out where your truck was built.

The fourth digit is the safety system:

The fifth digit is the model:

The sixth digit is the equipment level:

The 7th digit is body type:

The 8th digit is the engine. Here are some codes for common engines found in modern Rams:

The 9th digit is a check digit. This verifies the rest of the VIN is correct. It’s chosen by plugging in other characters from the VIN into a mathematical formula.

The 10th digit is the year. It cycles between letters and numbers, with “O”, “Z” and “I” excluded to keep them from being confused with similar-shaped numbers. A 2023 model uses “P” in this position.

The 11th digit is the assembly plant. Most Ram vehicles are built at one of these facilities:

Digits 12-17 are the serial number. Since they’re only 6 digits long, serial numbers are frequently reused. However, no two vehicles will every share the same VIN.
