Thanks for all your replies. Very much appreciated.
Can someone tell me how to find out exactly how a used truck was equipped from the factory? Is there a website for each make where one can go and plug in the VIN# and get a list of the original equipment including the rear axle ratio, tow package or not, oversize radiator, larger transmission cooler, etc.? If there is no website that will provide those answers, is there some other way to get that information on a specific used truck?
Thanks.
On a GM, Google "GM RPO codes". As was said above there is a decal in your glovebox with a list of three digit codes. They tell you what options the truck was built with at the factory.
Ford, and Dodge doesn't do this so your best bet is to take the VIN from those trucks to a dealer to get them decoded. You can also get the VIN decoded for your GM, but 99.9% of the time the tag in the glovebox will be accurate.
