Recommended Posts

Posted

I will post my vin with the hope that someone on here can do me two favors Help me figure out the build date & the axle ratio.. My window sticker says 3.42's inc. but i read somewhere that 2010 they changed the ratio in the Denali's to 3.08??? what gives? I would assume the window sticker but am curious to find out the answer..

check the glovebox

 

GU4 : AXLE REAR, 3.08 RATIO

 

GU5 : AXLE REAR, 3.23 RATIO

 

GU6 : AXLE REAR, 3.42 RATIO

Build date is on the drivers door sticker and the RPO sticker in the glove box has the gear ratio. I am guessing you have a GU4 with the 6 speed.

If it has the 6.2 it should have 3.42's

it's a GU6?? so much for the 3.08's then i guess?

 

This is something i have never had before. the build sticker says 2/10 lol dying to see what day. Dealer said it got there a couple weeks ago, guess he may have even overshot that?

 

 

 

Glad it has the 3.42's my friend Dave has an '08 Sierra Denali, couldn't have him kickin my ass you know?

Build date was 02/01/2010

And it does have GU6 - 3.42 REAR AXLE RATIO

You must have just bought it within a few days,as the delivery information isn't even in the GM-VIS yet.

Nice! Tx brother.. Should i ask to run it again in a few weeks or?? any other info pop up if we do it again after that info's in there?

 

Makes sense.. Because when i got there they didn't even get to cleaning it up yet, maybe doing the PDI or whatever? was in the shop with a tech in it.. And they knew I was buying it for about an hour before i got there. deal was finalized by phone.. Which is the 2nd time i did it this way and was happier.. first was my '07 SRX... thanks again

 

Oh Christ! I just realized it was a Monday truck build oh no :shakehead: Dam and Football was still on?? MAN.

Na...It just gives the delivering dealers name/address,and also the delivery date,Us dealers use this to help determine when the warranty expires.
