build sheet....mine was in the glovebox!

 

get it laminated if you care to keep it for some time. encapsulation will help preserve it.

 

I think that might be the option code for the Ram Air Hood

 

No. WS9 is the code for going from V6 'bird to V8 Formula. I have WS9 on a non ram air Formula. There is a second code for going fron Formula to Trans Am.

 

Ok so its a build sheet for the car i guess i'm not getting something .... what exactly is the "build sheet" what information is on it and why would you want it?

 

It's the sheet that runs down the production line at the manufacturer. Its attached to your car and shows what your car came with for options. Its usually desired in older cars more than new ones. A lot of times they get tossed at the dealership when they do the PDI (pre delivery inspection). We get new cars in all the time and I throw these things away without thinking twice.

Most people dont want them, but if you are a car enthusiast then its something cool to have.

 

I also just ran a VIS on your vehicle based on your VIN, and I can pretty much pull up all the info on that sheet thats a little easier to understand:

haha @ new window motor at 20,000 miles!

Is that a engine replacement at 40800??

 

Take a close look at it. If it has the numbers 0, 1 or 2 any or all in any order whatsoever, that is a code for "there is a bomb in the spare tire well". Don't even think about checking it for yourself. Go straight to a dealer and tell them your problem. They will know exactly what to do!

 

the dreaded J1840. its my least favorite labor op. if i remember right, it is for engine replacement. if joshp14's SI can show labor time guides, he can say for sure.

 

Yup it sure is....

Engine, Universal - Replace
OPERATION NUMBER: J1840
Note: Goodwrench Engine.
Note: For check toe-in, refer to operation E2000 and add times to regular hours column.
Automatic Transmission LABOR TIME: 11.6
Manual Transmission LABOR TIME: 12.5
With Engine Oil Cooler ADD: 0.3

 

Engine replaced. Bomb in spare tire well. Not good.

 

wow , sorry to hijack a thread , but i would be interested in knowing my T/A's service records and all that jazz, seeing that i bought the car used with 70k on the odometer

 

what sucks the most is that the "proper" P/N gets you a corvette engine, so you have to swap the pulley, oil pan, and something else(can't remember), but the J1840 doesn't pay time for that.

 

i got my sheet like that. was in my glove box when i got the car. the previous owner found it. joshp14, think u could do service checks like that for my cars? i can pm u the vins

 

Yes all I need is the last 8 digits of the VIN. Keep in mind the service records are only available if the service was performed at GM dealerships.

 

Each department in the assembly plant generates a separate build sheet - body, chassis, paint, trim, engine line, etc. Just because you find one of these sheets doesn't mean it is a comprehensive build sheet for the vehicle.

 

That's a bummer!

 

yeah, Holy ****, thats exactly what i said. when i worked at the ford dealership, they came laying on the back seat. we just threw them away.
