    You guys are real geniuses . Thank god i signed up on this forum . But thanks for informing me theres a difference between the technology in a 1989-2013 pete, I may have been lost forever on that one. I forgot what its like to deal with a bunch of keyboard warriors that probably don't even have a CDL .

    I thought I could post something up and get a quick response on how to break a vin down to get more info on the truck but that would require reading the actually post to understand it not to just respond .

    According to the websight.

    G is 86 or 16. Is that not true?

    There should also be some labels on driver door or the jam. If it's readable. What the manufacture date?

    Interesting. I think this has been vin swapped already.She's sitting with a Cummins 350 BC(crate motor from cummins with 40k on it) and a 9 speed . Not sure if the rears were changed but Ill have to look for a tag. Truck has Air leaf on it and is the worst thing peterbilt ever put out. Thankfully the truck has a locking diff or I would have been stuck backing in my driveway without doing a hole shot in reverse .

    Thanks pushbroom. Much appreciated .
