Vin code C or 8?

[Paychk]

I'm trying to determine what the VIN code is for the factory-intercooled trucks should be. The FSM shows a code of 8, but that is the same code as the non-intercooled trucks. Parts stores show code C, as does the VIN on my truck. Would everyone look at your VIN and post the code, this code is found in the 8th position of the VIN.



PS 8th digit from the left sorry

Mine has a C in the 8th digit from the left side of the VIN. The 8th digit from the left side is a P. This is looking threw the windshield.

Thanx, Philip

The factory intercooled is "C". THe 8 was not non-intercooled. Do not go by what is in a Haynes type manual... it is incorrect. I haven't checked what was in my factory manual. Somewhere, I once found a printout that showed exactly what every position in the VIn stood for. Not sure if I have it anymore or not.

Thanx, Philip



I should have stated from what side!

Carl the FSM (factory Service Manual) has this same error that is the purpose of this poll.



Below is from a 92 FSM

My non I/C 91 has an 8

I have an 8; Mom has a C. I have had them both, with my current one being the only nonIC of 6 trucks. (in other words, I've had some IC trucks with a C and others with an 8) Not sure of the pattern. I'll see if I have any paperwork from previous trucks.

I think the 89-91. 5? trucks that had no intercooler would be a code 8 & the 91. 5-93 with the intercooler should be a code C. I was just wanting to confirm that.



The reason is the 91. 5 & up trucks with intercooler seem to have the computer. I have found an inexpensive scan tool, if you input code 8 it goes , if you input code C then it is . The problem is, to verify the proper code, I need to hook it to an operable truck and my is still down.

Just got out the titles to check this out...



The 90 and 91 Non-IC both have the 8, the 92 has the C.

Would every one take the time and add to this poll if you haven't all ready.



Thanks!

[RMcGuffey]

I've got a '90 with an 8. Dad has a '92 that I'll check later.

I could only vote once; but both of my trucks are IC and have a VIN code 'C'.
