- "YOUR DOOR IS AJAR."


My father is an immigrant. He had a Chrysler New Yorker with the 2.2 Turbo. The first time he heard that message, he asked: "What does my door have to do with a jar?"
 
I've been working on updating the platforms code list for DCX vehicles past, present and future. The list is growing...
Nice list, but it's PROGRAM codes and not PLATFORM codes, for the most part. An example being that the Aspen and Durango are on the same platform but have unique program (HC and HB, respectively) codes.

CT has been cancelled.
EB was replaced by PV, and both have been cancelled.
GA61 was the production version of the Dodge M80 concept....cancelled.
HH has been cancelled.
JC49 is the code for the Dodge "crossover" and the Chinese-built Chrysler "crossover."
JZ49 is the Chrysler version of the Dodge "crossover."
L2 is the Chinese Chrysler 300.
LE41 is not "export" but "Europe."
LH207 was the Chrysler LHS/New Yorker for 1994-1997.
LX41 is the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, LX48 is the wagon version of the 300, LX49 is the Magnum
LY41 is the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, LY48 is the wagon version of the 300, LY49 is the Magnum
MK49 is the Jeep Compass
MK74 is the Jeep Patriot
PT27 is the Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible
PT44 is the Chrysler PT Cruiser
PW might have been the full sized vans.
RG is the European Chrysler Voyager.
RM is the Volkswagen version of the Chrysler minivan
WH is the European Jeep Grand Cherokee
WL was to be a Jeep "crossover" based on the Grand Cherokee...but it might have been cancelled.
XH is the European Jeep Commander
XL74 was to be the next-generation Jeep Commander but has been replaced by WK75
ZH27 is the Chrysler Crossfire roadster, ZH29 is Chrysler Crossfire

Those are the ones I've noticed. How about looking into the "VT" code?

Thanks Hudson, appreciate the input. I have a couple of questions:

1. I listed "WH" and "XH" as "export", you say "European"... but, WH & XH represent not only Europe but most of the rest of the world outside of NA.

2. "XL74" replaced by WK75?, I'm a little confused here - export models? Why would Commander go to "WK75"? Did you mean XL75?

Interesting.

Is that "Chinese-built Chrysler crossover" for the Chinese market?

LY41 is the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, LY48 is the wagon version of the 300, LY49 is the Magnum
Some of these are incorrect, there is no 300/Charger "LX41" or "LY41" that I am aware of. Also the wagon versions of the 300 are "LE".

WH and XH are European...as in built in Europe.

XL was the next Commander, but that has been cancelled. The next 7-passenger SUV will be a Grand Cherokee (enlarged, I assume) and will accompany the 5-passenger Grand Cherokee (WK74). The European-built versions will be WH74 (5-passenger) and WH75 (7-passenger).
Is that "Chinese-built Chrysler crossover" for the Chinese market?
That's my assumption. Chrysler doesn't have much of a pressence in Asia and they're already planning versions built in Mexico, so I can't see them coming to North America.

LE, from my Chrysler contacts, is for "Europe"...as in both sedan and wagon versions. LX41 is the sedan version of the current generation 300 and Charger. Wagon versions use the "49" designator (LX49 or LY49) from the same contact.

What? Can someone else verify this?
 
The codes go a little deeper, too...to 6 characters. I might have it figured out - at least a little bit anyway.

1st - Body Code
2nd - Model or "subcode"
3rd - drivetrain (2WD or 4WD)
4th - trim (base/mid/top/SRT)
5th & 6th - body style

EXAMPLE: Jeep Compass Sport = MKTH49
MK = Compass
T=2WD
H=Sport
49=wagon

EXAMPLE: Jeep Compass Limited 4WD = MKJP49
MK=Compass

I thought we had started a thread on the body style codes - maybe I missed it elsewhere?

I think you are right on 29 - the Stratus/Sebring coupes were ST29, IIRC - and they had full B-pillars...

Hmm. If the Dakota is 33, there's no pillar in a Club Cab, is there?

I started an Excel spreadsheet for the 6-digit codes sometime back and it started to get pretty confusing. I have about 120 listings but never pursued it because the codes seemed "endless". If it's worthwhile I can post what I have sometime. maybe someone will want to continue the "project".

Here are a few that I found for the Avenger:

Avenger SE = JSDH41
Avenger SXT = JSDP41
Avenger R/T = JSDX41
