I just found this. Easy to use, might make a good stickie.


FYI, this is basically the "GM Master RPO List" that's been circulating for years with a search function built into it. Which is to say, not really the best choice for accurate information. For instance if you type in "G80" you get "AXLE,REAR,POSITRACTION,LIMITED SLIP" which is correct for something like an F-body Camaro/Firebird, but not for these trucks which got lockers. GM recycled many (most) of the RPO codes over the years with different vehicles so what's accurate for one vehicle may not be for another. This is why I recommend compnine.com for RPO look-ups. It costs money, but in my experience their RPO descriptions are pretty much always accurate to the specific vehicle in question.

@1ton-o-fun has an account with CompNine and has offered to run VINs for members here for free, but he hasn't been on here in a couple months.

The G80 code does apply to our trucks, but not as a posi/limited slip. The only non-open carrier option in these was the Eaton "Gov-Lock" lockers.

So what does G80 refer to in our trucks?

are you saying the video is wrong?

No...

Guys, I only used the G80 thing as an example. I'm talking about how the website's description says "posi/limited slip" when it's actually a locker. Point being while the code definitions in that master list will generally be close enough to get you pointed in the right direction, they're not 100% accurate to every vehicle. That's all I'm saying here.
