GM RPO Axle Codes
To find the axle gear ratio of any GM vehicle, locate the RPO sticker (typically located in the glove box) and write down any codes starting with F, G, or H. Then, find those codes in the table below.

To find the axle gear ratio of any GM vehicle, locate the RPO sticker (typically located in the glove box) and write down any codes starting with F, G, or H. Then, find those codes in the table below.
These RPO codes are used to idicate a specific type of differential and/or ring gear size. Not all applications will have one of these codes but when they apply, they will be listed in addition to an axle code found in the main RPO axle code list below.
RPO | Axle Type |
G76 | Rear Axle (Posi) |
G80 | Positraction |
G81 | Positraction (Rear) |
G86 | Limited Slip (Rear) |
G87 | 8.5" Ring Gear |
G89 | 7.5" Ring Gear |
