1987 Mack R688ST VIN Number

[David Ferrell]

I have a 1987 R688. I do not believe the cab or doors have been replaced as it only has 96,000 miles on it.  The VIN is 1M2N187Y2HW017190. Thr dealer is having problems looking up my VIN. Any help is appreciated. Could it be possible that the O before 17190 is an O as in alpha vs a numerical 0?

Should be valid with the zero.  I plugged the VIN into the link and it comes up. 

Maybe the dealer needs a second cup of coffee???

The last 6 digits is all they need. If it doesn't work they're dysfunctional. And the last 6 are numbers.
