where do I find the VIN # on M931A2

[Engine5]

Need a bit of help, as stupid as this sounds....where do I find the VIN # on an M931A2? I tried applying for my SF97 and ended up giving them a DTID #, I have no idea where to find a VIN # on this truck. Gave a quick look at frame and door jam, nothing.
Thanks,
Mike

The # on the dash is it.
At least on my 923

The numbers should be on one of the plates on the dash. Hope it is not like one of mine, Blank.

Normally the Dash is the easiest place. The drivers frame rail behind the steering box a bit . Should be stamped in the frame. Sometimes they get filled with dirt or paint and get hard to see.

That is NOT your serial number. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?47536-Deciphering-M939-series-Serial-Numbers


AM General M939/A1 Serial# Sequence
Model Serial#
M923/A1 C523-xxxxx

For the OP, your serial will be in one of these formats
M931A2 1007AAxxx
M931A2 1007ABxxx
Model Serial#
M931A2 1030AAxxx
M931A2 1044AAxxx
M931A2 2007ABxxx
M931A2 31/xxxxx

I have yet to find any serial on the frame of a BMY vehicle where it is on AM General vehicles. Dash plate hopefully for you.

With all due respect you are wrong at least in my case.
The Nol is on the truck and on truck title and the # also matches the frame.
And I also stated on on my truck that's the way it is.

From the 2015 vin thread,

a. Serial Number (VIN number) ------without dashes or spaces (0123456789 correct, 0123-456789 incorrect)
b. Registration Number -----also without dashes and do not use the letter O (Oscar) use 0 (zero) and don't use letter I (india) use number 1 (one).
c. NSN without dashes -----uh, one more time, without dashes

Using the registration number infront of the serial number is not the correct "Vin #". You should be using ONLY the serial number to title or register the truck.

Mmmm, that is not the serial number unless you have a vehicle that was made for someone else, even then.........

Thanks for all the info. So these are the numbers I found on the drivers side frame. But what I also noticed was that Ironplanet.com issues SF97 with the Serial number as a VIN #, but I was under the impression that you need 17 numbers/letters for VIN #.

No The military numbers very in length I have seen them from 5 digits and up. My m923a1 is a 9 digit SN

 

[R Racing]

Looking at the picture Id say the 2nd set of numbers not including the 1G

 

[M35A2-AZ]

I think the 12302952A is the P/N of the frame side and the other numbers I do not think are the s/n also.
A 923A2 should start with a 23xxxxxx But I maybe wrong.

 

[R Racing]

I guess they all differ LOL both my M925A1 and M923A1 start with C52XXXXXX

 

[M35A2-AZ]

I guess they all differ LOL both my M925A1 and M923A1 start with C52XXXXXX

Yes that is right for the A0, A1's The A2's start with 23 for a M923A2

Do any of the numbers match the numbers on the dash? Doesn't look like they will, for you and anyone else who is looking for a number on a BMY they are insanely hard to read straight from the manufacturer they were very lightly stamped for the most part, many so light that they were hard to find after blasting the frame down to the bare metal. Coffee I hate it for you bud but if your registration code is on your frame some Beatle Bailey put it there, the RSMS and other units all have (fixed) the unreadable serial numbers on the frames of many trucks, by restamping the numbers. Many times the ID numbers get put in on the serial number blank with the actual serial number by soldiers or others that are not in the know or were ordered to add it. That doesn't mean that it is part of the serial number, also whatever is on any paperwork you may have is just got the numbers entered after the truck was released from the military, so entered by govliquidation or govplanet employees that haven't got any idea what the actual number should be.
