Decoding a Vin number (1 Viewer)

[G3harris]

How do I get a Vin number decoded I tried searching and couldn’t find a link for it. For 1990 fj75 I am looking at FJ75 0090245

The information should be on the data plate.

 

[G3harris]

Haven’t been able to see it yet is there any axle specs or transmission specs in the vin

 

[OGBeno]

Should be:

FJ75-MR3

Fire truck
H55F
3F engine
Full Floating rear axle
No power steering
Split transfer case (vacuum actuated)

 

[G3harris]

How is the F3 in a 70s series is the power comparable to a 1hz? And what’s the deal on those split transfer cases

 

[OGBeno]

Very similar in power.

Split case? It’s a mass produced LC transfer case.

 

[G3harris]

So the power will be similar but the gas mileage will be worse?

 

[G3harris]

Any major differences from the gas to the diesel I should know about I’ve got a 94 with 1hz

Yes.

They are two completely different engines.

I’m sorry I meant the rest of the truck minus the engine

I have no idea. I have never driven a fire truck for fun.

It’s a good time you should try it!
