Can someone run a VIN# and possibly look at a GTS for me?

[Brian E]

I am looking at putting a 96 GTS next to the SRT-10, can someone run the vin# for warranty work?
Is there anyone in the Paxton MA. area that would look at this car for me before I make a trip out there?
The vin# is 1B3ER69E2TV200495

Recall 998 listed as "incomplete"

Thanks Steve, I looked that up online also. I am looking for someone to run the vin# through the dealership database to see if any motor, tranny, differential work had been done under warranty.

Brian...call me.

 

[txlen]

yea..it had the motor replaced at 756 miles...looks clean other than that..still needs the 998 recall done...Len

 

[Brian E]

You guys are awesome!

 

[txlen]

Brian..if ya need anymore info...give me a yell at work...i'll be glad to help ya..Len

 

[Steve-Indy]

I'm confused(so, what else is new?!!)...a source (actually 2 sources) ran the VIN and saw "motor mount change"on the "right" on this VIN at the 756 mile point, along with tranny fluid change...then 3 weeks later...right motor mount change and tranny fluid change, noting milage still 756....WITH NO MENTION of ENGINE change. What gives???

Could the various terminals making the inquiry get different answers? I suppose anything CAN happen, but find it noteworthy that 2 separate inquiries at 2 different dealers got the same readout..."motor mount change" code number but NO MENTION of code for motor change.

Hopefully, we can find the error...as it would be a SHAME to stain this car's reputation, if indeed the info was not accurate or reliable. Is it a coding problem? Is it an interpretation problem...I'm lost!

HELP !!!

[Steve-Indy]

The above note by Gary was an inside joke aimed at Brian (and NOT the Viper discussed in this thread)...I know, as I ckecked with Gary,,,who is busy whippin' up on Porsches today at Putnam Park in his new Archer SRT-4.

should be easy to tell if the engine has been replaced. As long as it's numbers matching it's a no brainer.

ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER RECORDS, THE MOTOR HAS NEVER BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, ONLY THE RIGHT MOTOR MOUNT. THE RIGHT SILL WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY FOR CORROSION 11-19-99 AT 3085 MILES, SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED AT SAME TIME AS RIGHT MOTOR MOUNT 8-19-98 AT 756 MILES, TRANSMISSION FLUID ALSO CHANGED PER TSB 21-06-98 AT THE SAME DATE AND MILES AS MOUNT AND PLUGS. CAUSE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS ON SEPARATE DATES MAY HAVE BEEN A CLAIM FOR ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION OR MAY EVEN HAVE BEEN CHRYSLER CHARGING BACK THE CLAIMS, IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION I CAN ALSO GIVE YOU THE ORIGINAL OWNERS NAME AND THE SECOND OWNERS NAME AND ADDRESS. IF INTERESTED E-MAIL ME AT [email protected] AND I WILL GIVE YOU AS MUCH INFO AS POSSIBLE TO HELP.

 

[Finally got it !]

About an hour, 10min for me. If you want e-mail me and I can take a look at it during the week of July 25 to the 31st.

Guys, thanks for all the help.
I decided to go with another car. If all goes well, the deal will be done next week. I think you guys who know me wont be too surprised with what I roll up in next. It will compliment the SRT-10 perfectly!
