DMLers,
I spent some time yesterday and today writing a Dakota VIN decoder.
If you're interested in that sort of thing, you can check it out at:
http://www.cs.fredonia.edu/~stei0302/WWW/DAKOTA/VIN/
(There's also a link to it on the DML Home Page.)
Currently, it only has data for 1996 trucks in it, since I got
the info from my '96 FSM. If anyone is willing to give me the VIN
info for other model years, I'll include it in the program.
Eventually, I hope to get enough data so that it'll work on all Dakota
VINs.
(If you have a Factory Service Manual, the VIN information is
usually right in the front, on page 2 or so...)
