Default Can anyone explain the differences?

FWI: The VIN and the Build # (MDH******) do NOT have the same differences between them, relative to each other.

Example: Car #1 VIN: 44861 Build # MDH092221
Example: Car #2 VIN: 44409 Build # MDH092003
A difference of 452 in the VIN, but only 218 difference in the Build #.
This example is from two real cars that are on ebay. I have noticed that the difference in Build # is ALWAYS smaller than the difference in VIN. Just compare you own VIN and Build # (MDH******) with another member on this forum and see what I mean. Any thoughts?

Car #2 VIN:44409 MDH092003
Car #3 VIN:43201 MDH090817
Difference: 1208 1186

Car #3 is of ebay also.

The Build # is on the door jam sticker and is shown to the right of the VIN.

I would think that it is because they build more than one car a day. You should have multiple VIN numbers on any given build date.

The MDH is month, day, and hour of manufacture. It is not a sequence number.

Forgive me for asking a dumb question; but where do you find the MDH? I know where the MY is located but where is this MDH?

It's on the sticker (lower right corner) on the driver's door.
