I would figure most southern Tahoes are from Arlington, and northern ones are from Wisconsin

Hey Tony, I was Looking at your build sheet, WTF is RPO R6M, New Jersey Cost Surcharge ? WTF is that? and X88 Chevrolet conversion? what do have a transformer?
I have no clue. Maybe it's some kind of zone interoffice thing with GM.
I was wondering about that NJ surcharge thing myself. Is GM ******** on Jersey too? Lol. Maybe it's a fuel surcharge.
I wonder: Vehicles built in Texas, code YE9 states LS, convenience pkg or whatever it states, and vehicles built in Wisconsin, code YE9 says Silverado. I wonder if that's the difference, 2 different factories. Even tho it's still GM, it could be a little different, even tho it means the same thing. Just thinking out loud. Anyone have a different thought or idea on this?

Well that's probably not it, because GM said Silverado for mine too, but elsewhere on the web it says other stuff so I don't know. And @Galante all of the US NNBS trucks after 2009 were made in Arlington, according to Wikipedia.

So what do you think it could be? GM does some crazy stuff sometimes.

Well I know that Silverado used to just be a package, so maybe in GM's coding it might be like what decides that it's not a "Work Truck" model, because they had LS and LT Silverados in the 90s. It might have just been a hold over from the OBS

RPO Code X88 is Chevrolet Nameplate Conversion, perhaps to differentiate from GMC?
I found a New Jersey Purchase Bureau purchase order online for a 2006 PPV that shows:
RDM New Jersey Cost Surcharge *Required on all vehicles to be registered in New Jersey* MSRP $0.00
FWIW, It also shows R8Q as "Illinois Cost Surcharge".

It would be so much easier if everything was the same across the board.
