What do you mean, it couldn't read and decipher the VIN number?

StanVan

"Sorry, that VIN isn't in the system".

I'm insulted.

Twscarp

That's a bummer, especially after all my cheerleading, sorry.

I have been on a $10/mo Compnine's plan for over 2 years now. Yes they don't have some of the newer vehicles, but prior to 2015 they have everything and the data is 100% accurate. Never let me down.

The VIN decoder here on this site just gives you basic info applicable to the whole model line-up. It determines the type of vehicle, engine, transmission, GVWR, wheelbase correctly. But not the small build options.

Yup, love it. Except the part that it dosen't have the newest vehicles.

Hey StanVan, (or anybody else) I just called one of my local Chevrolet dealers, and asked if they could/would decipher my VIN Number with a printout, including RPO's, they said sure. I asked how much($), she said no charge, you might try that sometime.

StanVan

I'm good. I have a pic of my RPO sticker, and found a listing of RPOs. It did take me a while to track it down, and truthfully I don't remember where it was. But I downloaded it It strikes me as odd that some lists are incomplete, or that some codes are reused.

Twscarp

I don't understand what you are saying. You downloaded the GM RPO codes? And does that give you a description of all the codes? What do you mean some codes are reused? Every one of my 65 RPO codes, matches my compnine printout, no more, no less, no duplicates.

I suggest you call your closest Chevy dealer, and ask if you can come down righ now, and get a complete VIN, and RPO printout. 🙂

StanVan

What I downloaded was a complete list of 2017 RPO codes. I couldn't find one for 2016. I've looked in to a couple of them, like the alternator thing, just because of recent threads and comments. But I haven't looked them all up yet.

My reference to "reusing" RPO codes was related to one link I found. In my Googling, in a link in to a Chevy truck forum, a guy was mentioning that over the years, Chevy reuses the codes, so like 10 years ago, a code meant something different than it might now. Not always, but it can happen. That seems confusing, but if you think about it, when you're using only 3 digits, numbers and letters, there are only so many combos. In dealing with alternators, for example, how many different ones has GM used in the last 50 years? That actually might touch on when they used generators.
