[Ncboost]

First of all i did a search and didn't find anything sooo. Dose anyone know how to read the vin like how to tell which year is what and if it give you more info that would be awesome. Thanks in advance. Nick

The 10th number or letter will tell you what year it is. If it is a 4...its 2004 If its x its 1999. Tell me what it is and I can tell you what year it is.

My current 400 has a "Y" for the 10th vin. And i thought it was a 2000.

The frame I just got has a 2 so its a 2002.

NO....Y is a 99'

In the year 2000....they started them with a 0...and then 01' is a 1, 02' is a 2...etc etc

NO 2000 is a "Y" the numbers didn't start until 01, 01 is 1, 02 is 2, 03 is 3, etc, etc
