One word of advice. Whenever aiming ot rely on the RPO codes check the sticker VIN# to your VIN# on the windshield as a double check. Many find this a good exercise with an older vehicle where the spare tire cover may have been replaced for any number or reasons.

Usually you have the right one...it'* good to double check though.

I tried on my 97 to use the door sticker. Someone had peeled it and my belief is the door was replaced.

The dash plate is the only thing I would rely on for the vin.

I know where it is on my car, I was looking for information on how to decode it myself, without having to post my whole list. Also it would be good information to have when I go to the salvage yard looking for parts.

Also remember some times the RPO codes can mean something else in different models and different years.

Over the years I've found a couple of good ones...

Thanx for the help on the ones I didn't know.

Can't read the door tag...

Can that info be gotten from the VIN# or the RPO Tag?
