Joey Mack Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Yep U.S. I.D. tag.... here in the states we use the last 6 numbers of the VIN. To get parts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 So can info be read from the model number etc Such as motor specs, drive line specs or any factory specs at all? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67RModel Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Other than its a tandem axle Granite (CV713) not too much I think. One would have to give the last 6 of the VIN to the dealer would think and they could tell you what is in it. Most (maybe all) Granites came with the AI version of the ASET engine. Maybe you could get the AC version in a Granite I really don't know. Quickest way to tell is by the turbo. If it has a variable geometry actuator hanging off the side then its an AC. If it looks like a normal old turbo then its an AI. Mack axles and transmissions are pretty easy to identify by eyesight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 Okay, I'll report back then, I wonder if I sent Barry a message if he can shed some light No good asking a Mack dealer in Australia, it would be like asking a Mack dealer in the States about a Australian truck Thanks for your help Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Is there a tag on the front valve cover? Did you look for the transmission numbers behind the fill plug, also the numbers on the rears on the smooth part of the front of the carrier housing? Assuming it has Mack rears..

Joey Mack Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 ok, makes sense to me now.. I did figure that you knew where to look for the numbers, but I still had to ask.. Jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
