Thank you for the decoder, it's very helpful!

8th position Engine codes incomplete

Where are your listings of 5.8 liter engine codes.

"R" is for the 1994 Lightning 351w GT40 engine.

Little extra info... not sure if this is for F-150s only, but on a 1997 Expedition...

Paint code F7 - Vermont Green Metallic

VIN Position 5-7: U18 - I'm assuming this means its an expedition

Axle code 15: 1 is listed, but 5 isn't on any lists I can find...

2000 F150 Heritage

my vin positions 5-7 are F17, which decodes as F-Series F150 Heritage 4X2 (Regular Cab) Styleside Truck

but...

what does that mean? what comes different in the 2000 F150 Heritage? i've searched everywhere, and i can only find that the Heritage was a 2004 only, but apparently that's not the case, at least according to my vin... or it's a time machine...

can you tell me what this is?

thanks
joe

I did find the missing Z code in position 4. It is:

Hydraulic Class D: 5,001-6,000 pounds

doesn't exactly say anything about restraint system, though (from Ford's 2000 VIN pdf) the Z code is under a column titled "Lt. Trucks w/Sec. Gen. Air Bags"
