Magnum SRT-8 V8-6.1L VIN 3 (2006)
The transmission has a transmission part and serial number label which is located on the left (driver) side of the transmission above the transmission oil
pan (Fig. 1). The bottom (11 digit) number on the label is the transmission part number. The TOP NUMBER (14 digit) on the label is the transmission
SERIAL NUMBER. The date that the transmission was built can be obtained from the serial number (example: TxxxxxDDDyxxxxx). The transmission
build date is in Julian calendar format which uses a 3 digit number to represent the day of the year and a 1 digit number to represent the calendar year. In
the serial number: the 6th, 7th, and 8th number (3 digits) represent the Julian day, and the 9th number (1 digit) represents the year (in Julian date format).
Example: TI2TJ 0015xxxxx shows that the transmission Julian build date is "0015". The numbers "001" in date "0015" equals the first day of the
calendar year, or January 1st. The number "Sin date "0015" equals the calendar year, in this case the year 2005. A serial number of Txxxx1895xxxxx has
a Julian date of "1895". "189" equals July 8th, and "5" equals the year 2005.
NAG1 transmissions built prior to a Julian date of 1895 (July 08, 2005) may have suspect fill tube seals.
