    find a diferent dealer ....the one here will tell you anything you need to know ...horwith freightliner in northampton pa 877-220-8807 just give them the last 6 numbers ...... 610984 (ask for parts dept)

    there should be a model number tag in the center of the backside of the axle


    usually any truck over 10 years old requires a little more effort on their part because it will be on microfilm and not on the computer

    I am beginning to dislike some dealers too. I called williams dertoit in b-ham AL a few months ago & asked them for my turbo number, cause thre was none readable on mine. I gave him my last 8 vin & he asked if I was going to buy from them before he did the legwork on looking it up. That got me a lil aggravated. they get paid to help Detroit customers. it cost the employee nothing to type on the comp.I can see trying to get the sale, by courtesy, but not by requiring that you buy from them as a condition to give you info.

    i don't understand why they would do that. helping you out one time could give him 5 parts sales from you in the future. but now he won't get anything from you.
     
    w900 and jsnap Thank this.

    As always, thank you for the help you offer. If you are this helpful at your dealership, i am sure you are very busy.(If my KW dealer was 1/2 as helpful, i would be pleased).

    Might wanna try this? CMV ID: A Web-based VIN Decoder for Trucks, Buses, and Trailers
    Or call Freightliner in the morning. They can look it up. Assuming it's still the OEM rears (likely.)
