Hi, I am in need of help decoding the vin so I can see what axles, transmission, etc I have.

the vin is 1FDXF82K9JVA46601

F82330GK8

Trans CY

Axle X80

Thank you

 

1FD = Ford Motor Co USA, incomplete vehicle

X = Class 7--26,001 - 33,000 lbs GVWR, air brakes

F82 = F800 gas

K = 429 4V "Lima" gas V8

9 = Ford check digit, ignore

J = 1988 model year

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

A46601 = serial number

2K = Candyapple Red

154 = 154 inch wheelbase

F82330GK8-- This is all strung together and might be (EDIT clarified decode below)

F82 = points to F800 gas but should be 4 digits
F823 = F800 gas, 25,500 lbs GVWR. This conflicts with what's on the tag and the vehicle class in the VIN.

330 = points to 33,000 lbs GVWR
30 = 30 I think a typo. Usually these are 3 digits, so wither "F823" is wrong or "30" is wrong.

GK8 = Possibly body & interior code. EDIT : it is the body and interior code but I do not have that info

CY = Eaton/Clark model FS-5005A five speed direct transmission. (see below)

X8O
X8 = Rockwell model RS-23-240 two speed rear axle, 23,000 lbs capacity, 6.50 / 8.86 ratios
O = Ford 9,500 lb capacity front axle with power steering

87 = Body Company. (sometimes you see this for U-haul trucks, maybe fire trucks)

Not a special order, so the axle/GVWR and model/GVWR confusion is probably due to typo's.

Transmission ratios:

Your GVWR is 33,000 but your axles only total 32,500. It is rare to see this and IMO is an error. (EDIT and not cleared up by the certification label.)

If you have a picture of that sticker with all the numbers I might be able to figure out a couple more things.(EDIT well some but not all....)

 

This is very helpful. Here is the picture of the tag on door.

 

Hhhhmmm. Updated but it still looks like some typos or errors from the factory.

Good luck with it!

 

Thank you very much 85e150. This will guide me very well for parts and repair.
