Mackpro Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Its a MR688P built on 4/16/98 and has a E-7 350 with a manual fuel pump with an Allison HD 4000 trans. It has a 18-20K pound front axle but it doesnt say what rear spring weight is. The rear spring pack is a 12 leaf with a large helper spring pack on top of that . Thats all I could figure out , hope it helps. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28628-help-with-vin-on-a-mr/#findComment-148854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigDug Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Ex NYPD ESU? It is at Long Island NY , most likely from NY. What is ESU? doug Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28628-help-with-vin-on-a-mr/#findComment-148966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Caveat Emptor... First off it appears to be at a CoPart yard, so it may have been wrecked. Second, note that the back of the cab is different than most MRs... Wonder if the body can be easily removed?
