Where is the ENGINE VIN located on the Engine Block?

This is VERY helpful thanks! It turns out that Tousley can do the same thing and it's closer.

I have a 2020 RT Limited-and I live in MN with the same requirement of providing an engine ID#. Is it the same in terms of panel removal (left side) and such for the 2020?

If you look down below all the posts in any thread, there's a section labelled 'Similar threads' that often has info about threads that might be helpful to check out. In this instance, if you haven't got enough info to find the necessary from THIS thread already, the very first thread in the 'Similar threads' list displayed below (for me, anyway) was started by a member from MN, like you, who owns a 2014 RT with the 1330 motor, the same engine that is in your 2020 RT (which should have its number in the same place), who was told he needed the FRAME number as well as the VIN number, and that thread might help.

Just in case your 'Similar threads' display is different to mine (it shouldn't be, but just for Justin's sake ), here is a link to that thread:

I need both the motor number and the frame number for the state of MN. I found the motor number on the left driver's side by taking off the side panel. It was easy to get to once I took the panels off. (Getting the side panels off was another story, in terms of time and tools.)

This is a 2014 RT Limited. (With the 1330 Rotex engine.) It is the frame number that I'm told is on the frame behind the front right tire. I looked and found nothing but obstacles getting in my way. There is a lot of metal and plastic there. I could not find any numbers. Am I looking in the wrong place? Any advice...

I try that first generally-the thing is I know where the ID# is located, but the plastics come off differently on a 2020 I think. I was asking the wrong question. Also-I really don't want to really spend hours doing that right now. Today a guy in MN gave me a place that can pull the engine ID# with something called a BUDS system. It looks like there are 2 places fairly close to me that pull the info. electronically-$75. That's well worth it to me!
