Can anyone here do a GM VIS lookup for me? I recently purchased a 2006 Suburban LTZ. I just noticed that the engine hours reads 77.0 hours. Was the engine recently replaced? I don't see a way to reset the hours. Does an engine swap reset the hour timer? My VIS request is two parts. Can someone lookup my VIN and just say for sure, yes or no about engine replacement? Secondly, would it be possible to provide both the full claim history and vehicle build with option codes and descriptions?

VIN 1,G,N,F,K,1,6,U,4,6,J,1,6,1,1,4,3

Thanks so much for any help on this.

Here is another question for the same VIN. I can't find towing capacity for this rig. It is a 2006 Suburban LTZ AWD with the 6.0 engine and 3.73 gears. Other configurations are listed in the manual and several websites but not this configuration. Any idea how to find accurate towing ratings?

Thanks,

Sorry but egine hours are not recorded within VIS. Mileage is only reorded when warranty work is completed on the vehicle. The same goes for repairs made. If it wasn't warranty related, it's not put onto VIS. you would have to go to the dealer that made the repairs to get the info from their servers.

Your truck had no warranty work done to it. There are no claims that were made. Only the PDI.

Here is the vehicle build

Thanks a bunch for the info.

I asked about engine hours not because I thought it was recorded by GM but because 77 hours seems too low for a 2006 model year vehicle with 40+ thousand miles. I don't know of a way to reset the engine hours unless swapping the engine has something to do with it. That is what I was looking for in GM VIS, a possible engine or computer swap, not engine hour tracking.

Any ideas why such a vehicle would show only 77 engine hours?

What is the PDI?

Thanks again,

DPLarson

PDI = Pre-Delivery Inspection
Sounds like the IPC had been replaced at one time and not setup properly. Or possibly one from the junk yard was thrown in.
It is VERY odd for the vehicle to have no warranty work done to it as well as that low of engine hours

I found some info elsewhere that it is actually pretty common for the engine hours timer to be reset. One common way is by cranking the engine with a low battery. I'm sure this only works sometimes but I found many people claim that this reset their timer.

I have a 2002 Tahoe Z71 with a 5.3L flex-fuel engine and was wondering what GM meant when the sticker that came with my truck listed a locking differential? Is this a true locking differential or a limited slip differential, and is the "locking differential" only on the rear or are both front and rear differentials "locking differentials"? My manual states to use a SAE 80W-90 axle lube in the front and a SAE 75W-90 synthetic axle lube in the rear. I thought that this would indicate the front being a different axle setup than the rear, and possibly not being a "locking differential." Would anyone be able to tell me what exactly was included with my truck? My VIN number is 1GNEK13ZX2R228674. Thanks.
