What are you looking for ?
Carefax , a partial history - if known . a lot of what happens to it does not hit a data base .
Dealer , build sheet , and anything they did , all the shops are not interconnected , so your not going to get a report of anything thats ever been done , unless you find where , then you can ask them .
I think that we already have too much big brother , it nice to know everything but it would not be nice if someone knew everything .

The only way a dealer will have maintenance and warranty history on the truck is if they serviced it. If I called my dealer and gave them that VIN they could tell me everything above and then the options that were selected for that particular truck, but they could not find out the service history unless ALL service was performed at their dealership.
