RPO Codes
What are RPO Codes?
These are 3 digit identification numbers that will tell you the factory build options of your GM vehicle
Where do I find my RPO Codes?
There is a sticker on the inside of the glovebox that lists all codes
NOTE: If the glovebox liner is not original to the truck then the codes will be WRONG
