I'll have to pull the casting date code when I get a chance. I'm wondering if the Original Owner had the L-25 replaced under warranty, before the next owner [my PO] got it?
I guess you have a better decoder than the LMC catalog offers?
Much better, but still not complete. I'll Pm you a link. The one clue I have got on your XAE is possible pilot truck, but you would have several very early date codes on your truck parts if that were the case. And a unusual vin to boot. Replacement block is a very good possibility and also and more likely. It's a white elephant for me and one day we'll figure it out! I still don't think it's a mis stamp.
