Evening all, trying to order some parts and there are 2 options based on vin number. The range is to (T)003K 49770 for early and from (T)003K 49771 for later. How does that translate to a vin number?

E.g. SALLPAMJ3YA422220

Thanks

Those numbers are a digit short for the serial number and what the (T)003K signifies is anyone's guess. What parts are they? Your VIN shows you've got a 2000 model year, 4.6, automatic, P38 with the serial number of 422220.

They are transfer box parts from the proper parts catalog (I have the printed version).

Maybe they are the transfer case serial numbers? What does this http://new.lrcat.com/#!/1234/93198/93199 tell you?

Same as the brooklands catalog really. 2 part numbers depending on serial no.

Looks like the serial number should be visible from underneath, see https://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/transfer-boxes/borg-warner.html and scroll down the page.

Are you sure that you want to perform this action? This action is irreversible.
