What kind of running gear do I have?? - 11/26/2007 10:56:16 PM    hines182   Posts: 20 Joined: 5/12/2007 Status: offline Ok, so I have a '98 silverado k1500 with the Z71 off-road package, 4.3, and 5-spd. I'm just wondering if there is a vin decoder on this site or anything that can help me identify my rear-end, gear ratios, trans, transfer case, etc. Post #: 1
