broadcast code??

[Magic Wheels]

does anyone knows what that means.

at my local dealer nobody knew. i was trying to get the rear driveshaft part #. but it came up with two different ones. 

part # 15109400 w/broadcast code nk7 & # 22845686 w/broadcast code pl4.

no one knew what “w/broadcast code” is or was, or where to find that code on the truck. 

thanks

Those look like RPO codes to me. The RPO code list should be on a sticker inside the glove compartment.

I can't believe the dealer staff do not know what a broadcast code is.  

 

Broadcast code and RPO are the same thing.   They use broadcast codes in assembly processing language instead of part numbers.  That code will often be found on a sticker on the part that was placed by the part manuf.  Linking together all production depts and suppliers is an electronic broadcasting system that assures that the proper parts for a given vehicle will arrive at the proper place at exactly the right time.

 

NK7 FUEL TANK,117 LITER(31 GALLON)

PL4 Tire option

 

 

 

Build sheet = Broadcast Sheet

RPO - Regular Production Option

LPO - Limited Production Option

 

Vehicle build info.....

Order status codes:
1100 = Preliminary Order (Order passed GM edit tables but dealer has not received allocation to place order)
2000 = Accepted By GM (Dealer used allocation to place order into production)
2500 = Preferenced (Order pulled to the production system)
3000 = Accepted By Production Control (Order input into the production system)
3100 = Sequenced (Order sequenced for Production)
3300 = Scheduled For Production (Order is scheduled into the plant build cycle)
3400 = Broadcast (Order is sent to various build & supplier areas to bring order together)
3800 = Produced (Order is built and VIN# shows in the Dealer Order system now)
4150 = Invoiced (Order is invoiced to the dealer)
4200 = Shipped (Vehicle is shipped to the dealer or point of delivery)
5000 = Delivered To Dealer
6000 = Delivered To Customer

Ahh, thanks for the info, Mike.

 

In all the years I've been around cars, I've never heard that term "broadcast" when referring to RPO codes. Good to know.

I found the build sheet of my '72 El Camino above the gas tank. It was in rough shape, so I probably missed the "broadcast" labeling, since half of it was illegible, or missing.

i guess i found my truck’s broadcast code sheet and the part # is 15109400 for the driveshaft.

thank you guys i really appreciate your help.
