I'm looking at ads and the descriptions are not always clear.

Do these controls (in red square)  indicate that the truck has the Trailering Package and as such has the (G80) locking rear differential?

As far as I'm aware all trucks got the G80, but the trailer brake controller (as circled) is apart of the trailering package, yes.

Do you already have a truck? Or looking to buy one, and which year?

 

RPO codes are in the glove box up to the model year 2017.

Can anyone else confirm that all 2014+ trucks come with G80?

So I read a few threads from more forums, and from what I can surmise, 2wd trucks might not get them? Look at your glove box RPO label and look for G80 which is the locker, NHT which is max tow and Z82 which is a normal trailer package. Trailer brake was an option for some trucks but standard with the max tow package.

Still not 100 percent sure on all this but those are the right RPO codes for their respective packages. Hope im not messing with you too much, seems confusing trying to read all the info out there and know what is happening. Hope this helps...

 I was just checking if those controllers would indicate the truck has a rear locker.  I can usually see that in the ad pics.  I'd rather not give my contact info to dealers/sellers asking for RPO codes unless I'm seriously interested in the truck.

G80 (Eaton Locker) is an option and not standard on all truck trim levels. The following is from a 2015 Silverado sales brochure. It states which models it is standard or optional on as well as being included in both trailering packages.

Well, if you see something you are interested in I doubt they will ask name and whatnot if its just an email asking about the truck. If you wanted to keep your name out of things you could always get the VIN of the truck in question and email GM and ask for a RPO or "build sheet". They did that for me when I asked. Then just look at the RPO list and compare it to the ones above to find out what packages it has

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
