VIN question

So I just bought a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500. I'd like to find a place on the net where I can enter my VIN to see what accessories and things came with my vehicle. Any Ideas..??

 

Thanks...John

Actually, what your looking for is the RPO codes. I have a 94, so I'm not sure where your sticker is. I'd check door or glove box. Then if you look over to your left of the screen you'll see a link titled "RPO Code Guide". That should fix you up.

 

Your sticker should look something like this:

Hahah, I'm an idiot. This whole time I thought I had the 3.73 gears. GU6..looks like 3.42s.

 

Enjoy and welcome abord.

Thanks to everyone for their help. This is my first truck ever....I alway said I would never be a truck guy. I usually buy sports cars and 4dr family cars. My 95 Camaro 3.4 V6 just blew a head gasket and I just decided to get a truck for my motorcycle to transport back and forth to the track. The camaro had 218K on the odometer...not really worth fixing I thought.

 

Soooo the Sierra has a cigar smoke smell in it from the last owner. I am using Citrus Orange spray for the smell. It says it kills smoke odor....we shall see....Anyone have any other ideas to kill the smoke smell??

My wife recently quit smoking, so in respect for her, I no longer smoke in her truck. I also went through it with our Bissel Little Green carpet cleaner. Made a big difference in the amount of residual smoke odor. I'm sure the same effect could be had with a rug doctor rental unit with the hand held apholstery attachment. I did the seats and floor mats, carpet and a through wipe down of all the plastic bits along with the head liner. you'd be amazed at the amount of crud that was sucked out from the seats and carpets, no wonder it smells better. Just rember to air it out good to dry afterwards, don't want to encourage any mold growth...

You also need to clean the coils on the AirCond. Evaporator (you might try some of the GM cleaner used for mold removel)

 

I had a '68 chevy w/ a sweet 327 (thats another story) that the previous owner liked to smoke stogies while driving. I tried everything to get all of the smell out, But everytime I turned on the A/C (even after about a year or so) WOW knock me over.

 

I figured out that the interior was clean and no smell left so it had to be the A/C. That was back in the day when the A/C evaporator was in a box in the engine bay (mfg. by MR Harrision GM Division) So, I just pulled the A/C Evap. out, cleaned it with A/C coil cleaner, removed & replaced the inner foam insulation. then put all back, pulled a vacuum and added R12. NO MORE CIGAR SMOKE SMELL.

 

Oh yea, back in the day when R12 was like .49 cents a can and everyone just vented it out to never land. Who knew any better ?

 

With your Evap. being under the dash and next to imposible to remove, Get some of the Mildew A?C remover and follow the instructions on attaching the hose and where and how to spray.

How might one accomplish such a task?

    • 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. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
