How Do I find my build #?

OK, how do I find out the build # of my 99L, is it posted somewhere on the vehicle?

Thanks for the help.

It will be sent to you from SVT,
but it will take at Least 8 Months MAYBE MORE.

I was all excited until I got it and found it to be a simple piece
of paper that doesn't even have the owners Name on it



Just for the record, although I'm not showing my Vin # (cloned out) THE BUILD NUMBER IS NOT IN THE VIN #
I'm looking at mine and there in no 711 in the Vin #
or even those 3 numbers.

I bought mine used and there was no SVT certificate with all the paperwork. There's probably a way to tell the build number by the VIN number I'm reckoning.

There is no way to tell by anything that is on the vehicle. Call 1-800-FORDSVT with the VIN in hand and they will tell you.

Gator,
I've excepted that my Wrrnty's been gone for some time now.

Plasma Booster Install:
Cut back the plastic coating and expose enough wire to attach this connector on the "LEFT" wire of the coil plug.
You will need to do this on each of the 8 Coil Plugs

I COULD HAVE Un-Moded Everything
But How the *** do you hide this TIMES 8

Yeah, but think of all that EXTRA horsepower you picked up with that plasma booster

Go ahead, get the owners manual out to get a break down of the the VIN and I reiterate, there is nothing on the vehicle that matches the build date on the SVT certificate.

I called 1-800-FORD-SVT and they "axed" me for the last 6 characters in my VIN# and told me my build # and date off that.

Thanks for the info.
