I currently have a 1989 Chevrolet K1500 with Vin #2GCDK14H0K1156676. It has some cracks in the front differential housing and is leaking fluid. I'm not sure what gear ratio came with this truck due to the options sticker not being legible. I also have a 1991 chevrolet with VIN #2GCEK14Z0M1103122 as a parts truck, which the options sticker isn't available either. Can any one help me to see if the gear ratios are the same and whether or not the front differentials are interchangeable? Any options which are obtainable via the VIN#s would be appreciated.

The VIN by itself won't give you any options outside of the motor, but you might be able to take the VIN to a Chevy dealer and ask the service department to run the VIN to find out what was on it. If you ask nice, they might even print out the listing for you.

Well,The '89 is too old for me to run.

But I was able to run the '91,It has 3.73 gears and no "G80" locking-differential.

It also has the "F44" heavy-duty chassis package,heavy-duty shocks,engine oil cooling system and heavy duty radiator and transmission cooler.

Thanks for the info. Can you give me a complete list of all of the codes for the 91, VIN #2GCEK14Z0M1103122 ?

Sure,But let me get back to you....I want to run both VIN's on our "in-house" parts catalog system at the dealership,I'll list all the RPO codes once I run them,I'm hoping maybe the '89 will come up....but I'm not holding my breath,usually '90/'91 is the oldest we can get codes for.

I have to list all the codes manually,I can't "copy & paste" from our in-house system.

OK,The '89 won't come up with the RPO codes,You'll have to look on the rear axle housing itself for possibly a code or casting numbers (Should be on the front of the right axle tube,3" to 5" outboard of the carrier)

Ok Thank you for the codes. Both trucks are 4 wheel drive but I don'e see any reference to the front end ratios. Are both the front and the rear the same ratio? I know it seems like a silly question but even in the chilton's manual I can't find any reference. I was able to make out the rear end code as a GT4 3.73 on the 89 so if both trucks have the same rear should it be safe to assume that both have the same front ends? Again thanks. The 89 has some sentimental value to it and in hope of doing a complete rebuild in the future. Is there anyplace to find a code clarification for the rear end code?

Yes,3.73's will be in both the front and rear (If not you're in BIG trouble!!!)

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."
