starter date codes and production runs at start of the year
For a vehicle built on Jan 7 is it possible that the starter would have a date code from the prior year rather then the current year?

Re: starter date codes and production runs at start of the year
Interesting question - may I ask why you want to know?
Also, what year truck are we talking about? It may may a difference.

Maybe member MJN will chime in he's got a book that may have that info also.

Even with Just-In-Time today, building of the ancillary components is done close-to assembly date but not on. Exceptions being part shortages and a complete vehicle sits waiting for a part to be made & installed. Ie: Bronco's would be a good example currently when the hard top units got sidelined in lots waiting for a revised hard top. |

If we can get Keith Seymour's attention, we can find out exactly what went on. In with regards to the difficulty of servicing, etc with parts from the previous model year, there are many instances cited here where significant changes were made, but the old parts were used up out of inventory first. So a 78 could have a key component from 77, even though the 78 was a new model year. |
