Re: RPO Codes
I bet the majority of replies are going to say "pull the cover and get the numbers off it"

If there is no optional gear listed, then it has a base gear. Depending on engine, tranny, and what serries your truck is, there's a few base gears. |

Re: RPO Codes
It looks like rearend has never been touched. I dont think anyone has ever changed the fluid. I will do more tomorrow. I am swapping out axles and backing plates tomorrow.
