V.i.n. Check?

RVJ · December 16, 2007

I've seen some guys here volunteer to run a VIN check for members here but rather than hijack someone elses thred I thought I would post it here. I just bought this truck 11 days ago with 34,6xx miles on it and it came GM Certified. It only shows that it was serviced and washed but I found a receipt in the glove box for an intermediate steering shaft replacement. I'm wondering what else I may find about it. So if someone would please enlighten me I would be very thankful. The VIN is 2GCEK13T251238441 . I would be interested in anything I could find out about it including installed options and any work ever performed. Thanks in advance.

I guess I'm paranoid because the smell of burn't popcorn shows up after heater has been on hi for 10 minutes, and because sometimes when I push the defrost button when it's on just to turn it off the entire system shuts off and other times when I do the same thing it cycles to the heater and does not shut the system down completely. I'm guessing this should be consistant and predictable and not something of it's own choice, but then maybe I'm wrong.

Rich, Thank you Very Much. I will attempt to print this off for future needs. I really love this truck and want to know everything about it I can find. I intend to keep it for a very long time and the more I know about it, the better I feel about it.

MS3DALE · December 17, 2007

By the way,They didn't replace the steering shaft,all they did was lube it.

Part#26098419 is for the lube kit,not the shaft,which is part#19153614.

RVJ · December 17, 2007

Thanks Rich, I was going by this receipt I found in the glove box.

6Burgh · December 17, 2007

Autocheck shows it was a lease vehicle. but everything else checks out ok. For a copy of the report pm me your email and I will send you a copy.

RVJ · December 17, 2007

I want to thank everyone for their efforts, You have been very helpful and I do appreciate all the efforts. Thanks again. Bob.

clintlight27 · December 17, 2007

that is funny because i live less than a mile away from where that truck was first leased in grand blanc mi. I love the guys there and i have bought a few vehicles from them. RVJ do you live in Nebraska currently?
