Chrysler 300, Magnum 2006 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Specs

If you’ve ever stared at a pile of new parts that don’t fit, you know the exact moment your wallet takes a hit. That’s where this 690-page factory Chrysler 300, Magnum 2006 Parts Catalog earns its keep. It’s the same binder the dealer parts counter pulls from. No guesswork, no third-party reprints. Just the OEM document that tells you exactly which water pump, starter, or axle shaft matches your VIN.

VIN Plate Decoding – The First Step to Getting the Right Part

Every part order starts at the VIN. Page 1 of this catalog gives you the full 17-position decoding table for the 2006 LX platform. Position 5 tells you vehicle line (300, 300C, SRT8, Magnum). Position 8 gives the engine code: G for 3.5L (EGG), H for 5.7L HEMI (EZB), R for 2.7L (EER), W for 6.1L HEMI (ESF). Without that code you’re liable to order a 2.7L alternator for a 5.7L car. That page alone saves hours.

Engine-Specific Parts: 2.7L, 3.5L, 5.7L, and 6.1L HEMI

Group 007 (Cooling) and Group 008 (Electrical) split every figure by engine. Figure 007-110 covers the radiator for the 2.7L; 007-120 for 3.5L; 007-130 for 5.7L and 6.1L. Same for starters: Figure 008-105 is for 2.7L, 008-110 for 3.5L, 008-115 for the HEMI engines. Aftermarket catalogs often merge these into a single “fits all” part number – that’s how you end up with the wrong bolt pattern or thread pitch. This catalog shows the Mopar number per engine. Page 2 lists the full engine code breakdown so you cross-reference the VIN position eight characters.

Suspension and Drivetrain – RWD vs AWD Differences

Group 002 Front Suspension & Drive has separate figures for RWD and AWD. Figure 002-110 is the front suspension for RWD; 002-120 is for AWD. Same for front stabilizer bars: 002-130 versus 002-140. Group 003 Rear Axle splits the housing and differential by RWD (Figure 003-210) and AWD (003-220). Ordering a rear axle seal without knowing your driveline layout means you get the wrong flange diameter. This catalog makes the split obvious.

Why a Factory Parts Catalog Beats Third-Party Listings

Third-party parts databases frequently combine model years or skip the AWD variants. This is the actual document Chrysler published for dealerships. It includes the VIN decoding table, model legend (page 2), and every group from accessories (Group 001) through brakes (Group 005). If you need a trailer tow harness, Figure 001-290 is the 7-way for the 300, 001-291 is the 7-way for the Magnum. Those differences matter when the plug doesn’t mate to your bumper.

Using This Catalog on the Bench – Practical Tips

Flip to the General Information section first. Decode your VIN positions 5, 6, and 8. Then go to the appropriate group. For example, if you have a 3.5L 300 RWD, you know you need Figure 007-120 for the radiator and Group 002-110 for suspension. If you need a remote start kit, Figure 001-310 is in Group 001. The book is 690 pages but the index at the front lists every figure by group. For related manuals, check the Chrysler 300 Magnum 300C Charger 2007 Parts Catalog for the next model year, the Dodge Chrysler Challenger Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs, 242 Pages for classic Mopar, or the Chrysler 24, 21, 23 Passenger Car J1 J2 Parts Catalog 551 pages for older platforms.

Do I need my VIN to use this catalog?

Yes. Page 1 shows the full decoding table. Without your VIN you’ll likely order the wrong engine or driveline parts.

Does this catalog include part numbers for the Charger?

The cover says 300 and Magnum, but the VIN decoding on page 1 includes Charger codes (vehicle line A, series 4, etc.). Many drivetrain and electrical figures are shared. However, body and trim parts are specific to 300/Magnum.

What if I have a 2007 model?

This catalog is for 2006 only. Model year is position 10 (6 = 2006). For 2007 you’ll want the Chrysler 300 Magnum 300C Charger 2007 Parts Catalog.

Are there assembly diagrams for internal engine parts like pistons and rings?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It shows exploded views of components (radiator, water pump, alternator) and gives Mopar part numbers. For step-by-step disassembly, torque specs, and fluid capacities, you need a factory service manual. For deeper background on engine technology, see this Wikipedia article on diesel engines – though this catalog covers gasoline engines only.
