I stumbled on this website. It has the RPO codes and descriptions. Also has lots of other useful info for those wanting to order their trucks.

Here is the reference sites for Chevy and GMC just select which one you need. Once you click Chevy or GMC in the box at the top right lets you pick the models you need.

Interesting, the RPO codes for the L86 6.2 engine clearly read that, among other things, the engine is "E85 Max".

 

This coding is the same as what is referenced for the L83 5.3 and the 6 cyl engine. Those codes also state that, among other things, the engines are "E85 Max".

 

The inclusion of the "E85 Max" information for the 6.2 is at variance to everything else which is published about the 6.2. Anyone have insight as to why?

I'm new here and I'm not sure where to ask for help.

I have a 2004 GMC 1500 Sierra 2wd.

Extended cab, 5.3l v8, automatic.

The drivers bucket sags really bad. I feel like I'm going to have to look under the steering wheel to drive it.

My truck has not quite 56,000 miles on it.

It still has the original serpentine belt, spark plugs, disc pads, etc.

It has never had anything heavier than ice chest in the bed.

I need to get something to lift the rear of the bucket UP.

I had found a kit that installs between the floor and the bucket seat frame but I cant find it again.

Anyone have an inexpensive fix as I'm 63 and on disability.

Thank you for your time.

Not all the codes in my glove box are on that list?

I sent a PM to GM Customer Service with my email and VIN and they sent me a build sheet for my truck. It included the RPO codes that matter. There is also a web site where you can look up individual codes...

Visited the website that you posted, and still cannot locate a bunch of the codes for my truck. Is there a difference depending one when the truck was built in the model year? Just curious, not terribly worried, but just wondering why they would not have all the codes published.

Where did you send a PM to GM to get a build sheet? I just picked up a new 2015 Sierra SLT All Terrain 4X4 and it would be neat to have a build sheet. Is it a complete list?

Literally, send a PM to GM Customer Service...click on the link below and then "Send me a message". Yes, it is everything from my build sheet. Send them your name, email address and VIN...

Not sure if I am in the right place but I was curious if anyone knew a sight where I could type in a vin code to find out what dealership a truck is at? I have a membership to Carfax, tried that... it just came back "NEW CAR, CLEAN"... But what I am really wanting to know is what dealership has the vehicle.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
