If you are going to a salvage yard just give them your year make and model along with G code from your RPO code sticker and their software has interchange built in. Not sure if their system will use your vin or not.

All the 1/2 ton wagons from 2000-2006 with the 5 link suspension. Get one with G80 so you have the locker and match up your rear axle code unless you want different gears if yours is RWD. GU5 (3.23) GU6 (3.42), GT4 (3.73), GT5 (4.10), etc.

Hey @rockola1971 , did the 6.0s come with the 9.5" axle in that generation like the 900s?

The RPO sheet is affixed to your glovebox door. It has lots of 3 digit codes. You are looking for the "G" codes.
