since 7/15/02 was the first day they used the gold coolant in Panthers (or so I've read) can we find out which Marauders were built that day?

Mine was built on that day, so I'm naturally curious if its possible that mine is the first one so equipped on the line...

have an OASIS ran, it will tell you exact date in june, (or another date) I think from my limited research, that 7/15 was the first day back from summer retooling, and the reason the coolant changed from that day, it was a Monday, 3rd monday in July. I read that St Thomas was down the first two weeks of July http://media.ford.com/newsroom/release_display.cfm?release=12 389

so july 15 was the first day of production after the summer break. I may need to chew on that for a minute... is it good or bad?

when you change your coolant do you need to put the gold coolant back in? I did a flush recently and they used the green stuff.

I doubt it will hurt anything, its just no longer extended life. I wouldn't switch myself, in my store, the gold coolant sells for $3 less a gallon than the green, and you don't have to change it as often

can you deduce where mine was in the day's build?

dont they call the post-summer break cars "job 2" or something like that?

and since they are 300As, would we call this second batch 300ABs? 300a.1?

I only have dates, not times.

I believe "Job 2" started with Traction control and pre-decontenting.

a retired assembly worker told me that cars built on the first day back from break may have been sitting on the line for the two week down period. now I'm wondering where it may have been sitting.

is there a way to get a VIN range for that day?
