Vehicle Info

Does anybody know if you can find out the options and specs on a vehicle with just the VIN? I know I can get an Oasis but I think that just includes repairs. I am trying to find out the complete specs and build on a truck. Any help is appreciated.

There was a VIN decoder link here some where.
Give this one a try. It had an age linit. My 06 does not come up.

Use your VIN number to get Ford Window Sticker

Try this site:

FordEtis home page

Go into the "Vehicle" tab and enter the VIN. The Etis site usually returns a much more complete build list than the window sticker.

If it's a ford I know for a fact you can call them and they will tell you everything about your vehicle with JUST the VIN. Not sure how far back they go can, but I know they can do it on the newer vehicles.

I am interested in this as well. I tried the previous two links and they both said they couldn't find mine. I am just curious if there is a way to figure out what rear end differential I have in my truck using my VIN. I have a 1997 F250 Heavy Duty and I think it's either a 3.55 or a 4.10. I am sorry if I ever say anything that is obviously incorrect. I am new to trucks so please correct me if I am wrong.

You just have to look at the sticker on the door jamb under axle code then in the owners manual there is a list of what the codes mean. if you don't have a manual google it or look on the rear axle there is a tag on one of the bolts on the diff cover that has the info on it.

Ok, that seems easy enough! Thank you.
