I can't find them either. If I find it anytime soon, I'll repost.

I don't know if I'm gonna be of any help here, but I do know that when I looked mine up, I couldn't find a lot of them at first because when I looked in the car and wrote them down, I did it pretty quickly, and well...Look again, a lot of the 1's and L's look alike, and the 2 and Z's and so forth...

Scania

I had the same problem so go and have another look.

I triple-checked these codes and they are spelt correctly.

FA1 FA2 GA1 GA2

I have the same codes for my 86 SC. Anyone else have them?

jreese

I am sure there is an RPO code decoder on this website. There is also a VIN decoder too.

nick418

i went did them atleast 6 times on the decoder and checked it on som web sites, and cant find what these RPO codes are

jreese

have you looked at this

nick418

have you looked at this


yep, they dont have those RPO codes tho

jreese

well bud, that's all I know to do....sorry.

nick418

dont be down jreese You can just look up RPO codes for Camaros on yahoo and sometimes you find em... I think these codes are codes GM doesnt want to tell us. Cuz i have a couple rpo codes in camaro and dads vette that i still cant find

jreese

ok

CaysE

I'm still itching to find these. I think they have something to do with the suspension or the rear end.

nick418

yep, ive been goin to diff RPO sites and there not showin up

blyth18md

sure it isnt an "F41 F42" that doesnt explain the G-codes though...

CaysE

These codes are absolutely 100% without a doubt not typos. And we can't seem to find them anywhere.

CaysE

TTT... does anyone work at GM?

TTT... does anyone work at GM?


hmm My dad knows a Guy that works at GM, maybe i should give him a buzz tom, and maybe he would know. Why didnt think of this in the 1st place

FA1 is Assembely at Fairfax Plant, at least for other platforms. And seeing how RPOs were common across carlines there's no reason to doubt it here.

The rest I can't find.

CaysE

Considering thirdgens were assembled in either Norwood or VanNuys, I don't think that's the correct assumption.

nick418

Called the guy up today and he told me hes gonna look for it. i guess he was at home or not workin when i called his cell.

Goumba T

Hey, didn't say it was right, but its the only listing for FA1 I could find anywhere.

Only thing I said is that RPOs were common across the carlines, I've never heard of the same code meaning different things on diff cars from the same period.

I'm thinking those codes on an F-Body may be computer error or incorrect entry from an operator.

FAI is Fairfax
NOD is Norwood
VAN is Van Nuys

CaysE

Based on their placement alphabetically, I'm pretty sure these codes have something to do with the suspension or the rear end; possibly some kind of code for the struts and shocks like we have 6XW, 7XW, 8PJ and 9PJ for the springs.

Hopefully nick's contact can find something.

CaysE

Update: thanks to deadbird in another post, we've been able to confirm that GA1 and GA2 are related to the rear end. No specifics yet.

nick418

He works at a GM dealership he better finds these , He says hes gonna call me back

nick418

dammit he doesnt have the RPO codes, he gonna ask around thoo

when i did my rpo codes it couldnt find YA7. i have no idea what it is.

CaysE

A quick search would tell you that YA7 = TEST, EMISSION, CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY LINE. This thread is for FA1 FA2 GA1 and GA2 though, hijacker.
