    Ill try.Anyone know of any websites I can do a check of the vin to see if it would have a clear title besides the DMV ? I don't want to run it through them and then if there is trouble with it somehow attach to me .

    do the rig dig. if it has a lot of dot light violations. this means a wiring issue. any wrecks etc. only buy with all green checks. dont buy anything else. if your shopping around. get the package with a few vin checks.

    THis websight says the 10th digit indicates model year. But, I won't gaurantee that it'll works for semis. But it's worth a shot. It works for my car and motorcycle.
