VIN question and reverse isssue.

[Timbo]

Hey guys, I have a 350 Trail Blazer and can not find any info on the VIN # W938139. That is the # on the front upright behind the tire, it is on a metal tag. There is also the # 7073825 to the right of the first number, if that helps. I need to know the year so I can buy some parts.

Also when I put it into reverse it sometimes dies, any ideas? If I quickly put it into a different gear it will stay running. This problem does not always happen.

Thanks for your help.

Im pretty sure the 93 after the W is the year.

[Timbo]

Thanks, that helps.

Neither of those two numbers are valid vin#s, but the W93 is a model number, and from that, I can confirm that it is a 1993 350L 4X4. I cant remember, but does it have the reverse override on the handlebars on this model?

[Timbo]

Yes it has a override.
I just went and looked and found another metal plate welded to the frame by the sticker(sorry the vin I provided was on a sticker), it has *2112763* stamped into it.
Do you know where the VIN should be?
ALso could you tell me if it is a two or four stroke?

[blueline15]

That number is the vin!

Production Date 07/07/1993
Purchase Date 08/17/1993
Registration Date 11/10/1993
Warranty Expiration Date 02/17/1994
Model Year 1993 TRAIL BOSS 4X4 350L
Engine Number : 9322396

And all 350's were two strokes, especially in that day

Thanks a bunch.
Any ideas about the reverse issue?
