To help us look up parts using CAPS or Mitsubishi ASA program, here's a listing of various VIN numbers and the rigs they came from.

IF YOU WANT TO ADD YOUR OWN VIN, PLEASE INCLUDE...
- original trim level (RS, LS, SR, Limited, etc.)
- original engine displacement and type (3.0L sohc, 3.5L sohc, etc.)
- original transmission type (manual or automatic)
- and if known, any original 'special' or 'non standard' items that came with it from the dealer.

I'll continue to add VIN's for all models for now. In the near future, I'll remove some models when we already have at least 2 vins for the same vehicle type.

When I say 'vehicle type' I mean a 1995 Montero, 4 door, SR, 3.5L dohc, automatic would be one type.

Thanks for the vin's guys. I've added them to my original post to keep things clean. I'll add the vin number decode chart shortly.

Would be nice to get some Starion/Conquest numbers in here too.

Hello, STICKY!

Great idea. And you can save these numbers in your ASA program and access them through the drop-down menu. BIG time saver here.

Dodge V.I.N's (second digit "B") wont work in either program. So a request I have is a 1987 Montero with A/C and the off road package. Having this would be pretty kick arse. Here is mine if it helps anyone

JB7FJ43E5HJ002712 1987 Raider w-A/C and off-road package.

Edit: Added! Thanks! BTW, is this a stick or automatic??

TrailRaider: substitute the letter "A" for "B", maybe? Or did you already try that? Just asking.

John B.

Glad to see good buy-in for doing this. The first time it was proposed there was some concern about having VIN's listed.

Good stuff, great job!

Yeah, I tried swapping those around along with a few other items also. No luck, you cant even remove the sequential numbers a replace them with all zero's. looks like it may have all the valid sequence numbers already listed in the code somewhere. Mabey some of you computer gee.. err uh.. techs can break in and play with the code. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I also noticed a few sections are non interactive, like Section 61, Special Equipment and such, sure would be nice to get in there and get some factory option part numbers sometime.

And yes, Thank alot for starting this thread! Up till now when i needed to look something up I had to google a car for sale and use that V.I.N lol

I have two vins I'll toss into the mix.
