The Vin decoders in post 3 are from FTE. They are under the tips and tricks thread. IF you haven't read that thread, I recommend you doing so. Some really good info in there. But, that is weird that the other VIN decoder comes up invalid.

The one I have used for years from the FAQ thread comes up:

Results for VIN#: X26SKBA4544

Model Year: 78
Series: F250 - 4x4 Super Cab Pickup
Engine: 8 Cyl, 400ci, (6.6L) 2bbl
Assembly Plant: Kansas City
Transmission: No code selected
Front Axle: No code selected
Rear Axle: No code selected

I have only found one error in that one some time ago and reported it.

The FTE decoder on the silver menu bar, not the article, did not operate correctly. I have reported the error. I have reported several errors. They have not been corrected yet.
