Default Need a VIN number run through GM's system

VIN = 1G1YY22G4V5109078

I just bought this and have run a carfax and all is good, but if anyone has access to GM's system can you run it through for me? The RPO code sticker on the glove box is missing so I would like to know what rear end gears it has and if there are any recalls or other interesting facts about the car.

Thanks again!

FYI: The RPO Code List may be located on the underside of the Left Hand rear storage compartment.

If your car is a 6-speed, the rear axle ratio is 3.42.

Gene is a good source for the vehicle history report.

You can also contact Dennis Fichtner (forum member CeYaBye) for the info.

I just read that a few mins ago, didnt know that about the early C5's. I was hoping for 3.15's but have 2.73's for now...
