    Default VIN Check help please.

    Hi,

    I bought a 2006 3/4 2500 LS w/duramax 2 days ago and am trying to decode the options that are on the truck. I figured out the ext cab, long bed. LLY, Allison trans, but all the other stuff???

    My VIN - 1GCHC29236E127704

    Thanks for any help with this.

    googling "GM VIN decoder" yields this as the first result:
    http://service.gm.com/dealerworld/vincards/
    that leads to your ride, a couple of scrolls down this page:

    http://service.gm.com/dealerworld/vi.../vincard06.pdf

    You can take it from there

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that the VIN could be translated to give me what options were installed and what the truck's history is (I've seen this in other "VIN help" posts).

    Thanks again,

    walt z.

    What you need is the RPO decoder. All those 3 digit codes on the sticker on the glovebox door will tell you everything on your truck. Decode it here:

    A GM dealer will be able to tell you the history of your truck (what the dealer knows of it anyway) using the VIN.
