Has anybody ran across RPO code ROO? I did a search here and nothing came up. Google says it's "Bars Voms Bailment." What the heck is that?

Yes, I've been looking at the sticker doing some lookups. There is a pic below of my RPO sticker.

Needless to say I have some interesting combinations. Like a Z85/G80 package with 3.23 gears...

"ROO" = "BARS VOMS BAILMENT"

 

"BARS" stands for "BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION REQUEST SYSTEM"

"VOMS" stands for "VEHICLE ORDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM"

I take it that RPO code has something to do with the way the truck was ordered? Or am I totally off?

Well what the heck does that mean Rich?

 

Hell I don't know :rolleyes: I just know what the acronyms stand for :P

 

Seriously though....I'm not 100% sure what it means,I know the VOMS has to do with ordering vehicles,and BARS is where I go in to GM-GlobalConnect get certain items such as invoices and vehicle incentives reprinted. It also includes info for things such as financial reports & accounting,sales and incentives,and dealership operations.

Could it be that the truck was a special order outside of the normal dealer ordering process like VOMS? Who was the selling dealer? Could it have originally gone to a GM office for testing or evaluation?

It didn't have but a couple of miles on the odometer before test driving it. The dealer is Gentry Chevrolet in South Pittsburg, TN. I wouldn't see why it would have went out for eval or testing...

 

Thanks for the help Rich in figuring out what BARS VOMS actually meant. :rolleyes:

Sounds like GM has to have something in thier computer to start the assembly line so they must start with there idea of what a truck should be and then after the orders start coming in from the dealers they drop that request and go to the dealers sheet.

Like a default order just to get started. But I'm an idiot and that just sounded good in my head.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
