My truck was the first one at the dealership were I bought it, dealer said it was delievered in Austin along with several others for the introduction with each dealer getting one, he said they all left together in a parade with 09 banners on their trucks, it has an 8/08 build date,just wondering how far down the line mine was

 

Make sure to take it in for the RRT's if not done already, it will have a few.

 

Hi All:
My truck was made on 08/18/08 at 10:A.M. according to the door sticker. The last 6 numbers of the ID are 707710. I don't where the number sequence starts so my truck could be anywhere fron the seven thousandth one made to the tenth one. I don't think they made seven hundred thousand by this date.

For whatever reason, they don't build the VIN's in order. Also, the first several hundred units are always engineering vehicles. Finally, I believe the Detroit based plant started building Rams approximately a month before the St. Louis based plant.

 

not sure about the time, I'll look and see, I also want to cheak my bro n laws twin truck to mine and see how close they are, I have had it in twice for the RRTs and have another notice but will have to miss a half day at work to get to my newly assigned dealer who is closed on Sat ( I think I mention this on every post LOL)

 

IIRC, the last 6 id numbers start with a 5 or 7 depending on plant.

 

both of ours built 8-08, my s.n. ends 71518,his is 71550, didn't see a time on the door sticker

 

The door sticker has 3 small letters just before the numbers. They are MDH. They are for MONTH,DAY,HOUR. Mine are 81810. This translates to August 18 10:00 A.M.

I'll have to look at this when I get home from work today. My truck was also assembled in August 08.

 

I had the first '09 Ram out of my dealership... first one sold, first one ordered, first one recieved.
