Have done a bit of searching around but really haven't come up with any definitive answers on what information is printed on my door tag. Could anyone please provide some better info from the door tag below? I'd like to start changing fluids out on my "new" F150 but want to make sure I am using the proper stuff.

Also; what fluid should I put into my 5 spd trans and transfer case?

I've already decoded my VIN thanks to info from the site.



Thanks in advance.

I'm confused, tenth vin is J which is 1988

But the manufacture date is 07/01 which is production 2002

Fishy... is the truck an OBS?

The sticker might have been re-printed?

That's what I thought the H92 meant but I'm glad I have confirmation. I am pretty happy to know that I have the LS. Glad I checked before I changed the diff fluids.

What do you mean "which is production 2002"? I actually have the original VIN tag (for warranty purposes when new) that shows the purchase date of 8/8/1988. I imagine that the VIN tag is pretty rare piece to have. I actually have the 3 previous owners registration papers as well lol!

Here is pic of the truck:

Nice truck! Sounds like the other guy in here used a decoder for the vin that missed something lol that ain't no rounded off death trap 01

Thanks. I'm actually excited to test it out in the winter time.

I am not sure what the "Date: 7/01" means on the door sticker though........my only guess is that the sticker may have been reprinted.

Look at the tire pressures. I thought they were 35 psi all around?

jgrove998

That's a good question. Would the different tire pressures have anything to do with the springs on the front and rear? Maybe effect towing capacity?

Best recommendation for fluid type for Trans and Transfer Case?
