## What is VINTrucks?

VINTrucks is a subscription based application. Version 7 represents a major improvement in VINTrucks. It will now decode any CFR conformant VIN. Its main purpose is still to decode heavy and medium duty truck Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) for truck manufacturers for the purpose of determining the year, chassis manufacturer, engine manufacturer, ECU family and validity. It will then list what software tool is needed to download the engine’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and if calibration and/or incident data is available. If incident data is available, it will give a brief description of the data. Major known issues are also shown in the notes section. Warnings for glider kits are also provided.


Determines:

• Year
• Chassis Manufacturer
• Model
• Engine Manufacturer
• Engine Model
• Check Digit Validity
• Software Tool(s) Required to Access Calibration and Incident Data
• If Calibration Data is Available
• If Incident Data is Available and a Brief Description


The form can then be emailed. The user may choose between the default address support@vearexperts.com, or any email address. The results can also be copied and pasted into an email or text message.

It is intended for accident reconstructionists, insurance adjusters, safety managers, and attorneys.

### 1/5 — Never Get Emails

*2024-01-23*

For some reason, nothing will send to my email even though I paid for the year. I need this for work. Please tell me how I can fix this issue.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-06-28*

They stole my money and wont respond to messages. I downloads the app a few years ago at which point there was a one-time price for the app and no monthly subscription. Now when I try to use the app, it blocks me put because I dont have a paid monthly subscription! Even though I paid for the app!!! Terrible company who cares about your money, but not about you.

### 1/5 — Does not seem to be suited to Australian VIN's.

*2012-01-04*

I tried ten different VIN numbers all from Australian trucks. They were a combination of Mack and Volvo trucks. All VIN numbers were known to be correct but I could not get the app to give me any significant info for any of the VIN's entered. All the entered VIN's were for trucks built after 1991 as the program info suggests. The best the program could do was to give me a year model. I'm glad the app was only 0.99c because it is a waste of time as far as I can see.
