86 k 100 aerodyne

They are prolly going to have to use the complete serial number, thats the only way I see them figuring out a duplicate, although I think that it would give them options to choose if there are more than one.

I havent had any trouble with my 83.

 

I think you should just sell it to me for $2500

 

1986 is the 'break-year' for the old fiche based system. After 1986 all the records are on computer. Kenworth has been duplicating ser numbers here in Canada for about the last 4 years or so. I MAY have a fiche card for your unit. Let me know what you need.

 

Keep this in mind, OEM dealers are only required to support a vehicle for 10 years from its in service date, and the general rule for stocked parts vs non-stocked = if it doesnt move 6 times in one year the part will not be stocked at the dealer level.

Now saying that parts are stocked for alot longer than 10 years but maybe outsourced from the original equipment vender at the time your truck was built, and PDC warehouses will usually stock parts that move on a typically slower rotation than the magic 6 times a year, but you will have to wait for them or pay to have them flown or otherwise expedited.
