Gary, caught you checking up on Tom and me. You know we would never give you bad info . JTE is correct, though (at least the RPO code is G92, maybe something different in glovebox). Don't worry, your model is neither 2.73 or 3.15. It's chain-driven at about a 1.5 to 1 ratio. Look on the sprockets, they'll say "HuffY" . It is a little-known special Chevy option to keep guys like you out of trouble.

Jeff

G92 would be the code on the glove box for the 3.15 gear ratio. Not sure what the standard gear ratio shows up as.
