Re: vin number decoding

[JimJablonski <groovinjim@xxxxxxx>]

It is missing the 1st digit which is a 1, meaning it was made in the US.  The rest of the VIN decodes as follows:

B = Dodge

7 = Truck

H = 6001-7000 LB

W = 4x4

1 = 1/2 Ton

4 = Standard Cab

T = 5.2L

Check Digit

G = 1986

S = Warren, MI Truck Plant

061116 = Sequence

As you can see, the month the truck was built cannot be derived from the VIN.  You would have to check either the serial number mounted on the driver's door of the build sheet, if you can obtain it.

I thought the VIN was supposed to be 17 characters; this has 16. Is there a number missing at the start or end?
