1992 L8000 vin decode

Hey guys, looking at a 1992 l8000 dump truck and was hoping someone could decode the vin for me, hoping this truck doesn’t have really low gearing, pretty sure it has the 7.8 new holland tuned to 270 with the inter cooler paired to an 8LL it looks like, thanks!

I don't have much for a '92. This is from an early '90 MPC, published in July '89.

1FD = Ford Motor Corp USA, incomplete vehicle

Z = Class 8--55,001 lbs and over, air brakes

U82 = LT800 diesel (probably badged as L or LT8000)

A = Ford 7.8 six cylinder diesel engine

X = check digit or character, for Ford use

N = 1992 model year

V = Kentucky Truck Plant

24845 = serial number

Your white plastic certification label will have more info. It should be on the door jamb, drive side.
