Talk:Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN codes)/GM/VIN Codes

Truck VIN
A little help? Anybody have the corresponding information (or a link) in regards to light trucks?173.8.220.209 (talk) 21:47, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I appreciate the additional info that was noted re engine codes (I came here because my 97 Lumina needs an engine); however, why don't you (the contributor of that info) just update the table? I was initially confused, thinking you were referring to errors in the VIN structure itself, or in GM's use of it. (Um, you're not, right?)

I just purchased a new engine in the crate. The number is GM 4306. What vehicles was this engine put in?

gear ratio
How, for a novice girl in mechanic I can figure out the gear ratio from a vin number? I have a '94 Suburban and the rear end gave up on me, I am trying to find one from a vehicule that have this vin number: 2GNEG25HXL4126103. My baby have a 3:92 ratio according to some islander mechanic.

Unable to find engine code
I am looking at a used 2008 GMC Yukon Denali with VIN (8th digit) engine code = 8. This site does not identify this engine code. I have not physically looked at the vehicle, but wanted to identify the engine before I made the trip. I'm looking for a Yukon with the Vortec 6000, which in 2008 I believe was a LY6 engine, but have been unable to ascertain from the VIN number what engine this vehicle has. It would be helpful if this site was complete and included all the code that were used on various GM vehicles.

Very Confusing, maybe change the layout.

No pontiac G6
Pontiac G6 not on the list of platforms, also no "B" in engine codes
