That doesn't work for me, I get sent to an error message.

EDIT: Found that you have to click on the link and then enter your vin in the address bar, copy and paste led me to an error page

 

Well this is just great. I downloaded both and compared them. No surprises, but does anyone know what is meant by Firm Feel Power Steering since I didn't see sloppy power steering as an option. And Rear Seat Heat Ducts? Where are they?

 

Maybe "firm feel" is like their brand name for power steering? As for the rear seat heat ducts, they are under the front seats.

 

Thanks you for this link dude, I was looking for the tires size but was not sure as it's a north edition (infos not available everywhere on the web or contradictory) , now I am sure ... 215 65 17 !

 

You can go 225/65/17 w/o rub or lift,or 235/70/16. Both work well. Toyo makes a great tire. A/T ll All terrain works well off road. 225/65/17 is my size. 2011 pat sport. CVT trans.

 

There was a time when build sheets were left in the vehicle although you had to hunt around for them. I still have one from a monte carlo I had in 1984, found it stuck in the springs under the front seat!

 

Checked my vin #?? In options said I have 6.2 Additional Gallons of Gas? anyone know anything about this? where it is?

Thanks, Bob

 

I was looking for the tires size, thanks for sharing the links.

 

Thanks for the link. Now i have proof positive that my 2011 has the cvt ll trans but no oil cooler. Was thinking about doin a trailer hitch but wasnt sure bout doin one due to the miles 94k. Now i am looking to do the oil cooler to help with possibly towing long distance. Any thoughts?

 

This should probably be in another section, but anyway, adding an engine oil cooler certainly won't hurt for long distance towing, though I would keep the load as light as possible.

I'd also be sure the transmission fluid and filters have been recently serviced, and you might consider adding an aftermarket trans cooler along with the factory one to help keep the trans temp down.

All you need is the VIN!

Copy and paste the link below (minus quotes) into your browser , then replace the xxxx.... with your 17 digit VIN and you should get your vehicle's build sheet in PDF format. Letters are case sensitive. Don't include hyphen's.

"http://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

 

Thanks for sharing. The build sheet will be very useful in the future.

 

You're welcome!

And I'll mention too, that it works for other Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler products as well.

 

Bit off topic but are you saying I could lookup the VIN of my old 1970 Challenger and get it's VIN sheet via "http://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" ?

 

I got 6 blank pages, hit the download thing and there they were! Good info to have. Thanks, Gned

 

I’m getting the message “vin not found”

Can anyone help me out

Worked perfect for me:

This worked great, thanks!

 

Sandstone,

I gave it a try very cool to see what the spec sheet said even being with my oldest when first purchased ( his first new vechile ) I cared more about the deal and it being basic Jeep then the spec sheet on the window.
On the spec sheet it states extra 6.5 gallon of gas (what am I missing or not understanding with that line )

Still running Great after the Tranny/clutch swap fingers x

Thk you, cool to see 11 yrs later,

Rich

 

I believe you are correct they actually make us feel we are getting 6.2 free gas when its included in the price

R.

 

Thanks for posting this link. It confirmed my Pat has the 6-speed transmission (local shop was telling me my VIN says it's a CVT). I want the fluid and filter changed by 115K miles since I don't know if any of the POs ever serviced the transmission.

 

Thank you very much. That was fast

 

You're welcome!

Any chance that's US only? I entered my VIN and it said "No records found corresponding to the VIN provided "

 

Make sure that there's no blank spaces in there, either before or after the VIN. I copy/pasted my VIN in and got the same error, then noticed that there was an extra space at the end. I removed that and it worked.

 

It worked with a UK VIN, so I'm not sure why it didn't work with yours.

Tried it with this Canadian spec'd Patriot and it worked:

VIN: 1J8FT28WX8D730680 | JEEP PATRIOT 2008 car history - Stat.vin

Car history JEEP PATRIOT 2008 GOLD ➡️ VIN code: 1J8FT28WX8D730680 Auction COPART CAN ✔️ Sale status: Not sold ➡️ Lot number: 53320161 - Stat.vin

You are absolutely correct. I had reversed 2 digits in the middle of the VIN. Once I corrected that, it worked perfectly. My apologies.

 

Getting off topic, but the clicking you're hearing may be due to a failing outer CV joint.

Thanks for the suggestion but that's not the noise I have now.

I looked up the mechanics report and he stated "Tires are oversized. Rubbing on inner fender liner. Spacers not recommended. No visible wear to tire"

 

THANKYOU!

 

You're welcome!

 

Having my Patriot for only 2 days there is a lot of things on the list I need to check out. "Sliding armrest"???

Thanks

 

You're welcome!
