I do not have a label in the console but there is one on one of my rear compartments. I don't think it has Z51 on it. What do I have then?

Check your front wheels, if they're as wide as the rear wheels then you have a Z51. Also, the non-Z51 takes 2 3/4 turns to turn the steering wheel all the way, the Z51 takes 2 1/4 turns. :cheers: :steering:

I just turned my wheel 2 1/2 times. I did it about 4x to make sure.
So what does that mean?

If you do not see Z51 on your RPO sticker then you have the base suspension. This means you have softer springs and a different (slower) steering ratio. You also may or may not have:

B4P - radiator boost fan
FG3 - Delco-Bilstein shocks
KC4 - engine oil cooler
V01 - heavy duty radiator

The above 4 were included in the Z51 package but were available separately, too. Check your RPO sticker to be sure.

Thanks for that info. I will check it out. I am disappointed I thought with the Malcolm Konner the special handling package was a Z51.

Z51 IS the special handling package.

The MK was just an appearance package to honour a chevy dealer in NJ. This was a one time deal. Never happened before, never again.

MK went out of business a few years later.

They list a number the RPO's for you to review. Good site.

I've seen a handful since I've lived in North NJ all my life, until several months ago. Like most said above, the Malcolm Konner edition was simply a paint scheme, no performance difference.

The Malcolm Konner dealership is now called the Paramus Auto Mall - just a Chevy Dealer. The original, first "Konner" dealership (where I bought mine :D ) is still in existence on Bloomfield Ave in West Caldwell, NJ. It's a small dealership "Konner Chevrolet" and the one brother, Gary, still owns it and works there.......... he has one of the 50.

Here are the RPO codes I can't resolve and I still am not sure if I have a Z51 suspension.

AAT A03 A42 BGR CC3 DL8 D3X D9B E5Z E92 G44 KB2 NA5 PY3 UG4 V73 01L
010 1AY 121 122 64S.

I don't have any "F" codes for the suspension and I don't know why.

Thanks Jerry

OK - since you don't see Z51 that means that you have the standard base suspension setup.

There were a couple typos in your list that I fixed up (in bold). The #NAs are stumping me. Can you re-check your sticker to make sure they're correct.

Thanks.
