That would be my thoughts although this information surely either is or was available from Chrysler and other sources at some point. I have no problem "sharing" mine privately but wouldn't want to take the chance of posting them on a web site. I guess I really opened up a can of worms here. I don't want to mislead anyone that I profess Galen is the "Official Decode Guru" by any one else's standards other than his own. Other than purchasing the little "white books" from him, I have had no other dealing with him or his company.
