dakal Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 thanks for the site i just ran mine: it said under model: hinterantrieb comanche 6 foot bed ok what is hinterantrieb :nuts: also it was a two wheel drive before being converted
johnnyc Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Evidently, hinterantrieb is a German automotive term. But it's not listed in any online German dictionary. :dunno: -edit - As far as I can tell, hinterantrieb means rear-wheel drive.
comanche87 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 it pulls mine up as a standard and with full time 4x4. and its a 2wd auto. very weird. any good site that will tell it correctly?
Eagle Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Any Jeeps older than about 1990 are likely to produce questionable codes when you run a build sheet -- or just draw a blank. When Chrysler bought AMC, they didn't expend much effort entering historical build sheet data into their database. Also, many of the codes originally used in the early XJ/MJ years were subsequently recycled by DaimlerChrysler, so you may find yourself with a build sheet listing options that weren't available on ANY vehicle in the year your Jeep was manufactured. If you have an XJ or MJ that's still fairly original, there was often a build sheet either uder the driver's seat or behind the trim panel in the driver's door.
dakal Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 thanks for decoding the german. i'm glad to know i have rear wheel drive. i'm cc this letter to the factory. :D
mfpdm Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 You can go HERE and it will break the VIN down better for earlier models. And yes it says FSJ but it is for all Jeeps. :cheers:
dakal Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 that was good. still don't know what model...se?????etc nothing on body, no paper
Pete M Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I believe SE is a Dakota model designation. Definitely not an MJ.
Eagle Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Weren't the late model Cherokee base models designated 'SE'? I think this is an example of Chrysler code "recycling."
mvusse Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 My 94 Cherokee says "Pioneer" on the fenders, but according to the Chrysler VIN decoder and auto parts store computers it's an SE.
