Thanks.

Stone, do a Google search. Type VIN decoder and it will bring up a bunch of free sites you can use. Try Ford VIN decoder for narrower search results.

Tony-

The GVWR range seems a bit high, should be 6001 - 7000 lbs, right?
I know we've had problems with some of the older truck info showing up in the codes and messing the items up.

Fast turn around and very thorough awesome
