blackhawk Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 The SS is the only Silverado available with the LQ9 version of the Vortec 6000 V8 and the only one available in 1500 extended-cab short bed. I think with that there should be an easy way to differentiate between the vin #'s, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zestos Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Just a pet peeve of mine, but when you say/type "VIN number" you are being redundant. Try it yourself. Vehicle Identification Number Number. Sounds pretty stupid, huh? Brought to you by: The Department of Redundancy Department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 (edited) Just like saying "atm machine", or a thousand others. I'm in the military, I'm used to repetitiveness and redundancies!

Lee Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 I'm used to repetitiveness and redundancies! I'm living with a wonderful lady BUT, that said, I used to the same (hope she isn't looking over my shoulder) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shopman1 Posted August 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 (edited) I don't want the Vin hunt to go dead. So, has anyone ever contacted GM, If so what did they say, if not can some one get with them? If not GM what about the plant that applies the SS add ons, they must have some accounting by Vin. We know the numbers by color, so, lets try for the Vin's. What about a category for the SS owners to enter there Vin in a list, I believe that the Vehicle number is the last 7 of the Vin. Should we should start a national Registry? What say you - all. Edited August 18, 2003 by shopman1 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56chevywagon Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Just to let everyone know, I just contacted GM and they said that productions #'s won't be released until the end of the production year... He also told me that he doesn't think that they could distinguish the #'s from the standard to the SS Silverado's but did tell me to check back around the December time frame. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Sorry about quoting myself but.... , I have contacted GM and they weren't very much help. Maybe you or somebody else can get a different response form them or maybe they have it figured out by now. I kinda doubt it but the more people that bug them, quite possibly, the more likely they will try to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatrack Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I'll check with some of the engineers at work (Saturn) and see if they know anyone in Canada that can get the numbers and sequence for us. I know our guys worked with them when we were redoing our paint shop a lot of the guys went up there to get there maintenance procedures.

You go for it Hatrack - It would be great if you can get the numbers. I always felt that if one could get to the programming staff that it could be possable. Let us know what you find out!

black03ss Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 The 8th digit in the heavy duty trucks is a U and ours is the N . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabo Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 So... it's been a while since this thread was updated... Did anyone ever figure out how many SS's were made 2003? If there is a list with all the Silverade VIN's and the SS is the only one with an N in the 8th place it should be a simple task to sort out the SS ones and get a total. This could then also be done with the following years. That would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PladdPezzPunk Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 wow this is old. I know there was a thread on this somewhere. I don't remember the numbers but 03 and 04 were listed in each color combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
