Hi folks,
How can I tell what I have? I'm still searching, just hoped that someone could give me a quicker answer.
Vin# is 1FTHF26H3LNA20764

Thanks,

Dave

 

Can't tell from the VIN. It's either a light duty or a heavy duty. A HD will have a GVWR higher than 8500 lbs and a full floating rear axle with the hub sticking way out.

 

I don't know what you mean by a full floating axle, but the truck has big hubs sticking out (bigger than the front hubs) and helper springs that contact with a heavier load. Not sure of the GVWR.

Thanks, Dave

 

Did you stop reading my post when you got to "full floating rear axle"? Right after that I said "with the hub sticking way out" and then you tell me how you have these big hubs sticking out.

Yes, you have a HD F-250.

 

Thanks. Little thick headed sometimes but got it under control now.

Thanks again, Dave

 

Hey Dave, want to sell that truck? haha.

 

You'd have to swim a long way to get it.........I wouldn't part with it though.

 

the fourth letter in the vin number tells what the GVW class it is in and it is a an f250 hd. 8,501-9,000 lbs.

 

i wanna know if mine is a HD :P

VIN
1FTEF26H9LNB19797

 

sorry DJ but it is the lightest duty f250 there is 6001-7000 lbs.

if you guys have one these are all on page 11 of the lmc truck catalog.

 

lol.. its a good sign .. im not hauling heavy stuff of towing a house.. i mostly cruise and race .. havent got time to go to the track to chek the time yet.. nway i dont wanna hijack this post.. ignore this post

 

Don't worry about it.....Saves searching and/or posting the same question. I just got this chilton CD that had all thes warnings about making sure you unlocked the right vehicle or there was no turning back. After I got my answers, turned out that all F250's in this range were covered.

Thanks P.J. for clearing that up.

Dave
