What kind of running gear do I have??


  

hines182 -> What kind of running gear do I have?? (11/26/2007 10:56:16 PM)

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.

It should be on the build sticker usually located in your glovebox.  There is another thread here that has what the 3 letter codes stand for.

This is not the link that you asked for,  but it has the info that you are looking for. 

Model Year:

Chevrolet Specific Codes:

You can find the codes on a sticker usually located in your glove box.  Also,  on your differentials,  there will be a tag help on by  a cover bolt.  It will have have stamped on it something like "8.8 3 42"  which is an 8.8" diameter ring gear at 3.42 ratio. 

I hope this helps.
