There isn't a specific digit. The last nine digits are a unique unique serial number for the vehicle. The dealer can run it through their computer system to get a list of options that it was built. This only works on vehicles made in the last twenty years or so.
There isn't a position that tells the gear ratio. The dealer can enter the VIN in their computer system and pull up the build codes to see what ratio it was built with.
No, it does not
It is not a single digit. It is the combination of numbers that the dealers system can use to match up to a build list.
It will be the same as the rear axle. Or take the VIN to the dealer, it is coded into the VIN number.
You local dealer can use the VIN to get the sales codes and then can tell ratio, etc from there.
That is done through the dealers computer system. There isn't one specific digit in the vin for the axle ratio.
I guess your asking about the gear ratio. Write your VIN# down on a piece of paper and call a dealer ship and ask for parts, Then tell the parts man that you want to know the gear ratio in your truck. Then he'll ask for the vin# Give it to him and he'll tell you want you want to know There should be a tag in glove box there should be gt4 or gt5 code gt4 tells you that 3.73 gear ratio gt5 is 4.10 gear ratio
If you call a GM dealer and give them the VIN# they can tell you what gear ratio you have.
On a late model vehicle the dealer can run the VIN number through their computer system and get the axle ratio from the build sheet.
There are four ways to find a ratio. 1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number. 2 There are normally tags or labels on the axle that have part number, gear ratio, and fluid requirement info. 3 You can count how many times you have to turn the driveshaft to get one complete turn of the tires. 4 You can divide the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide by number of teeth on the pinion.
