Build Codes (Again)

This evening I stumbled upon the build sheet for one of the XJs I've worked on, and that reminded me how many times people can't find their build sheet. Even worse, if you can find it, Chrysler apparently changed some of the codes. I keep threatening to compile a master list of the build codes ... maybe now is the time.

I would greatly appreciate it if everyone who has the build sheet or the original invoice or window sticker for their XJ or MJ would send me an e-mail with the codes and what they stand for. If you have a scanner, you can just attach the scan as a JPEG file. If you have a fax, you can fax it to me.

I'm not comfortable putting my e-mail or fax number out in the open, so if you can help out with this project, please drop me a PM and I'll send you the e-mail address to use and the fax number.

Since some of the codes apparently changed, when sending info be sure to include what year XJ or MJ it applies to.

Thank you

I found my factory build sheet when I was working on my drivers door window regulator track and the lock. I will scan it for you tomorrow afternoon and post the scan for you in my gallery. Its for an '89 XJ Laredo.

I'll email the window stickers for the '97 & '01 XJ's, and I have what appears to be a build sheet or invoice for the '97.

I found my factory build sheet in my drivers door too, I suppose I could scan it in....

Blah... I had my drivers door panel open several times this week to fix first my lock cylinder and then my door handle... no build sheet to be found. Maybe the guys who put in the sound system took it out... (yep, it's an '88 with speakers in the doors. some assembly required, I guess )

Eagle, if you need an extra e-mail addy to have people send you scans and stuff, let me know; I have plenty of space/BW to spare.

how do i obtain a copy of my build sheet? I bought mine used from a dealer. :helpme:

You take the VIN number to a dealer (service department) and ask them to print it.

I also saw a recent post suggesting that you can submit the VIN to DaimlerChrysler through some link on the Jeep web site and they'll send it to you. I haven't tried that and I'm afraid I don't have the specifics.

Thank you. If I start getting a lot of large files I may be forced to take you up on that.

My build sheet wont scan very well and is unreadable. I will see what I can do to get a good image of it for you.

I actually called Chrysler' "Tech Line"...1-800-992-1997, gave them my VIN and they told me EVERYTHING about my 1991 XJ. Gears, diffs, axles, even the tires it originally came with! They also emailed this info to me. So for anyone who doesn't have a build sheet, this could be the way to go.

Update

Lawn Cher' sent me a build sheet and two window stickers. I had fogotten that the window stickers don't include the build codes for the options, so for the purpose of this exercise, I need build sheets only. Window stickers won't help.

Thanks

Hey Eagle....Just wondering if you ever compiled anything with all the codes listed....I'm particularly interested in the 3 lettered codes on the older....say 88 XJ's.
