The 4th character indicates the Part Source (See Source Code chart below), whether it is product engineering office or service part. Note that “outside sales (code F), “Motorcraft Brand” (code P), or imported parts from Ford of Europe (code R) are identified with their product line code in the third position. The 3rd character of the prefix indicates the Product Line (See chart below) the part was originally designed for, with few exceptions. The 2nd Character of the indicates the year within the decade. The 1st character of the prefix indicates the decade of design Part numbers consist of a į17A (prefix), 3002 (basic part number), -HB (suffix). The difference is the 4th character of the prefix. Engineering and Service numbers decode the same way. There are some exceptions, such as a whole grouping of parts or a kit. The Service part number will not change with the Engineering part number unless the change affects interchangeability.ĭue to this the part numbers on the part are generally Engineering numbers and the Service part number will be on the box. This allows Ford Parts and Service to track changes affecting interchangeability by modifying the Ford Service part number. When the part is released for Service it is assigned a Service part number. When the part is redesigned the change needs to be noted so the Engineering part number is changed. The engineers will design a part and assign it an Engineering part number, which is an alphanumeric reference code. Ford part numbers are divided into two main categories Engineering and Service.
