Numerical digits use their own values.

Second half of table:

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. (chk digit) 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
Weight. 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 10 (chk digit) 9. 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4..3.. 2

Example:

So, 5TET would be:

(position 1)5*8=40 (position 2)T*7=21
(position 3)E*6=30 (position 4)T*5=15
all the way until position 17

ADD all the products, 40+21+30+15 and so on

divide the sum by 11, see what you get

necro thread revival....

So anyone know how to decode a engine block number in a 2nd gen?

For example:

"1GR" is cast into the block.

"8396771" is stamped in after that.

Another thread necromancy...

Weird. My truck has SR5 badges and I'd have to check the spare window sticker thing in my paperwork, but I'm pretty sure it's an SR5, yet I have a '2' in my grade position, which indicates it's only a Deluxe. I can believe it's just a deluxe considering it has manual hubs, a bench seat, basic instrumentation (only speed, fuel, and temp gauges, with no tach, oil, or volt meter and not even a trip odo), and the only creature comforts are a/c and tilt steering, but then that begs the question of why it has SR5 badges.
