Date of Manufacture -- How to Determine?

[ORE]

This should be a pretty quick topic, but had to ask as I couldn't find an answer elsewhere. In ordering some parts (struts) I see you have to know when during the year your pathfinder was made. I know mine is a '98, but how do I narrow it down to the month so I order the right struts? Thanks.

Driver's side door jamb.

Drivers side door jam there should be a riveted on ID plate that also contains stock tire information. This plate will also list the month and year the truck was assembled... for example my 1988 Pathfinder was made 06/88

Yes,

 

There are two stickers there, one is tire information containing recommended pressures and sizes. The other is the vehicle information tag, it's got your VIN, axle code, date of manufacture, GVWR and several other bits of info.

Got it. Looks like it's 4/98. Thank y'all for the help.

If you want to know any more you can go to your dealership and ask a service manager if he could print out your vehicle history report. You just give your VIN and they can show you warranty stuff, options, date of manufacture (mm/dd/yyyy) etc.

 

I learned a LOT about my Pathfinder when I did that.
