won't work for me, get an error code

worked nicely, but still confuses me.

Anyone know the latest and greatest in VIN decoders?

Will the VIN tell me if it's a half-panel? What will it tell and what will it not?

Thanks!

 

There's not much information in the VIN. Check the sticker on the inside of the passenger glove box door, it lists RPO codes. Half panel is AA5.

 

This again??!!

 

X2. The RPO codes are your best resource to find out everything about what was installed at the factory.

Here's thread that lists a few model years.

You can also search online for general GM RPO code lists that can be helpful too, especially since many of the codes are common across all GM cars and trucks.

 

I updated the VIN decoder thread. https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...335#post868335

 

the VIN will tell you a lot if you have a dealer parts person check on it... and yes, the VIN in the OP is a half panel
I'm happy to look up specific VINs as my time allows at work (assuming I see the posts)
