Well I didn't know that

Thanks Paul

 

The information that Paul gave you is exactly correct! (Good job Paul!) But I wonder if this is what you really wanted - are you looking for the options?

Send a private message to Sponge Vette and he can run the VIN through the GM VIS system to get you service and origination history.

 

:o I sent my VIN to SpongeVette and asked politely for the service record, but he never responded. How difficult is it to get from the dealership?

 

HERE YOU GO: Due to the age of the car, the option descriptions are not listed. The codes are given though.

Is that informaiton only accessible via the GM Service Dealer?

 

YEP!

 

He might not have been on recently - you might try sending it again or send it to RichieRichZ06, as he can obviously run it too.

A lot of the dealerships won't do it for whatever reason....

 

Thanks, I sent my VIN No. to RichieRich. I'm not sure I want to see the service report.

I love your "mods" ... and the Akroyd quote on your profile!

John

 

John, PM sent back. BTW that car has very little warranty claim info so that is a good thing. RICH

 

I can run GM VIS also if anybody needs theirs done. PM me for fastest service, I might forget to check here

 

is there a site to decode the options on the glove box door
