bad VIN?

I'm stumped, no website finds my vin number as a valid number. What do you all think? 1FTSW31FOYEA98294 is the number. The truck is a 2000 F-350 CC long box PSD 4X4 Manual. Thanks tim

Hiflyer, why do you want to run your vin? You can check your vin on a sticky thread on this site for build info. If you have some other reason, please elaborate and I may be of some unofficial assistance. Ya gotta PM me though.

the reason the vin is no good is there is no "O" in a vin, just 0 "zero"

i checked it real quick with the zero and it works
