Contact the Mack Museum, give vin#. They can tell you spec's as it came off the line, original owner.
A "donation' although not required is always a good thing.

You left out the most important number to get your info.You should have a number between the 8 and L,which should be a 6 if your truck has a ENDT676 300 series Maxidyne.The complete breakdown of your VIN is as follows:

RW - model - Superliner
S steel frame
7 - 700 series(long hood,but all Superliner series 1 were 700's)
86 - ENDT676 300 Maxidyne (283 hp)
L - lightweight components(alum.fuel tanks,rear end carriers,etc.)
S - twin screw rear end
T - tractor
49200 - 49200th truck built in Hayward plant

thanks alot it doesnt show what trans it came with

Only way you'll be able to get the info on the transmission would be to have your dealer or the Mack Museum to run the number and get the build sheet.Only the engine can be decoded from just reading the VIN.

All Superliners were built in Allentown.

As Superdog said, it should have an extra number in the VIN after the 8, if that number is a 6 then here is some info for you.

Engine-ENDT676
Transmission-TRXL107A 6 speed
Rear Differentials- CRDLP92, CRDL93, 3.87 Ratio

You have some numbers missing. The eleventh letter in the 17 digit vin number is the manufacturing plant.

Not true,they were built in Hayward,CA from the time they were introduced until the Hayward plant closed.Then production of the Superliner,Cruiseliner and Valueliner was moved to PA.

This truck was built prior to the 17 digit VIN.If I remember right,it was sometime in 1981 that this was started.

As stated earlier, all Superliners were not bilt in Allentown. I drove a '79 RWS712LST for a few years and that truck was built in Hayward, CA. It was a real party to get parts for. Most guys at our Mack Dealer wold't even look for us because it was built in Hayward.
