SPID decode please?

3G80AB REAR POSITRACTION A I get that its Posi by the G80, but what does the rest mean? Thanks |

Re: SPID decode please?
The 3 and AB are random. Not sure about the A. Maybe short for axle?

Re: SPID decode please?
Are you saying that the 3 and AB don't really mean anything?

Re: SPID decode please?
Was it a California truck? Those seem to have the extra identifiers.

Re: SPID decode please?
I'm not sure if it was a California truck. I bought it here in Texas about a year ago.

Re: SPID decode please?
If your fifth letter/digit is a "Z" then it was built in California. I have noticed that the Fremont plant in particular added a lot of of extra identifiers to their RPOs.
I always assumed it was for emissions reasons but as another poster suggested maybe different plants did it for different reasons. SPIDs are one of my favorite discussions on the forum so let us know if you find out. People ordering a truck today will never know what it is like to get all these options a la carte rather than as some kind of "package".
