À la recherche du VIN ?
Voici où vous le trouverez :
The name “GMC” comes from Grabowsky Motor Company, one of several truck manufacturers GM bought and merged to form this division. Over the years, more companies and divisions were folded into the brand, resulting in a wide-ranging lineup that included light pickups, RVs, buses, semis and tractor engines. In the late 1990s, the brand started moving away from commercial vehicles, ending medium-duty truck production in 2009. Today, they offer mid-level luxury trucks and SUVs positioned between Chevrolet and Cadillac, as well as the high performance Hummer electric SUV.
EpicVIN's GMC VIN lookup can help you find the right vehicle by letting you decode the VIN. This tells you exactly how the vehicle was configured at the factory. Want to know more? Our VIN reports comb through corporate and government databases to find information on the vehicle's history, helping you avoid damaged vehicles and vehicles with legal issues.
All vehicles built since 1981 have a unique identifier called a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN.) The VIN number uses 17 digits that include the serial number, as well as production information. EpicVIN's GMC VIN decoder translates this information into something you can read. Using our GMC VIN number lookup, you can find out about the vehicle's year, model, engine and more. Using this tool helps you verify information on trucks and SUVs. Want to know more about a heavy duty GMC truck or RV? Our tools also allow you to look up these vehicles, and you can run an ATV or motorcycle VIN lookup, no matter the brand.
Why is our VIN decoder GMC fans’ choice? When you're shopping for a vehicle, knowing the factory information encoded in this number tells you exactly how a vehicle was equipped at the factory. This helps you find the exact truck or SUV you want. Don't have the number to type into our GMV VIN decoder? We also offer license plate lookup, which finds the VIN in government records, so we can give you the same information.
Once you're ready to buy, order a VIN report. As an official NMVTIS source, we're able to provide accurate data about the vehicle's history. This includes vehicle owner lookup, court records, police reports and insurance claims. That way, you'll know if the vehicle was in an accident, or has a questionable legal history that could make it hard to license.
Where do you find this number to do a GMC VIN check? The VIN is in several locations on the vehicle that are unlikely to be removed for repairs. Here's where you can find the VIN on a GMC:
Look for a VIN plate on the dashboard. This plate can be seen by looking through the windshield on the driver's side of the vehicle.
Open the driver's door. You should see a sticker below the door latch on the B pillar, or on the side of the B pillar next to the door sill. The VIN is printed near the bottom of this sticker.
Look in the engine compartment around the air filter box. There is usually a plate with the VIN on the inner fender or the radiator support.
Look at the driver's side frame rail. GMC stamps or engraves the VIN in three places: under the driver's door, where the frame bends up just in front of the rear axle, and next to the spare tire. Undercoating can cover these codes, making them hard to read.
The VIN can also be found on titles, registrations, insurance cards and other important paperwork to identify the vehicle.
What information is encoded in the VIN? Each manufacturer has some leeway when they format this number. Here's what GMC uses each position for in their VINs.
Position 1: Manufacturing Country
| 1: | United States |
| 2: | Canada |
| 3: | Mexico |
Position 2: Manufacturer
G: General Motors
Position 3: Division
While most companies use one character per brand, GM uses several characters here to indicate both the brand and type of vehicle. For example, a “K” is used for GMC SUVs.
Position 4 and 5: Platform and Series
Platform codes are the same across all GM models, while series codes are unique to the brand and version of the vehicle. These codes change from year to year, so it's easier to use our DMV VIN check instead of trying to decode these yourself. Here are three examples of codes used for these positions:
| EC | Sierra |
| FK | Yukon/Suburban |
| HG | Savana passenger van |
Position 6: Body
While body codes have changed over the years, most GMC vehicles will have one of these characters in this position:
| 1 | SUV |
| 3 | Truck |
| G | Van |
Position 7: Safety Restraint System
This is the safety equipment installed at the factory.
| 1 | Seat belts only |
| 2 | Dual front airbags |
| 3 | Driver's airbag |
| 4 | Front and side airbags |
| 5 | Dual front airbags and side driver's airbag |
| 6 | Front and side airbags with passenger occupancy sensor |
| 7 | Front and side airbags, including side airbags for rear seats |
Position 8: Engine
Here are a few popular engines and their codes.
| C | 5.3l Flex-Fuel with Active Fuel Management |
| G | 8.1l Vortec 8100 |
| P | 5.3l Vortec 5300, aluminum block and heads |
| T | 5.3l Vortec 5300 |
| X | 4.3l Vortec V6, iron block and heads |
| Z | 4.3l Vortec V6, throttle body injection (TBI) |
Position 9: Check Digit
This digit uses a mathematical formula that uses other characters from the VIN as inputs to generate this character. This adds error checking, making it easy to flag errors in databases.
Position 10: Model Year
All vehicles, including GMCs, use a standard character for the model year. It alternates between numbers 1-9 and 20 letters, excluding those that can be confused with numbers. Numbers were used between 1971-1979 and 2001-2009. 2024 models use the character “R”.
Position 11: Assembly Plant
Here are codes for common manufacturing plants used to build GMCs:
| R | Arlington Assembly Arlington, Texas |
| U | Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Hamtramck, Michigan |
| F | Fairfax II Kansas City, Kansas or Flint Truck Assembly Flint, Michigan |
| Z | Fort Wayne Assembly Roanoke, Indiana |
| J | Lansing Delta Township Assembly Delta Township, Michigan |
| 0 | Lansing Grand River Assembly Lansing, Michigan |
| 7 | Lordstown Assembly Lordstown, Ohio |
| 4 | Orion Assembly Orion Township, Michigan |
| 1 | Oshawa Car Assembly Oshawa, Ontario Canada |
| S | Ramos Arizpe Assembly Ramos Arizpe, Mexico |
| G | Silao Assembly Silao, Mexico |
| 1 | Wentzville Assembly Wentzville, Missouri |
Position 12-17: Serial Number
Since there are only 6 characters used for this section, serial numbers are frequently reused. However, no two vehicles will have a completely identical VIN.

Les emplacements varient d’un constructeur à l’autre. Cependant, il y a trois endroits où vous pouvez trouver le code sur la plupart des véhicules:
- Regardez le tableau de bord à travers le pare-brise. Du côté du conducteur, vous devriez voir une petite plaque métallique sur laquelle le numéro est apposé.
- Ouvrez la porte du conducteur. Regardez à l’avant et sur le côté du montant de la porte pour trouver un autocollant d’identification. Il porte généralement le logo du fabricant. Le code doit se trouver sur cet autocollant.
- Ouvrez le capot. Vous verrez peut-être un autocollant sur la cloison pare-feu ou près de la tour de jambe de force du côté passager. Sur certaines voitures, le numéro est gravé à l’un de ces endroits.
Comme ce numéro est utilisé pour identifier le véhicule sur les documents officiels, vous pouvez également le trouver sur le titre de propriété, l’autocollant de fenêtre et sur les polices d’assurance.
Nous décodons également les numéros des véhicules récréatifs, des poids lourds et des motocyclettes. Si vous devez décoder un numéro de VR, assurez-vous qu’il s’agit de celui émis par le fabricant du châssis, et non par le fournisseur de VR.
Non. Les voitures canadiennes et mexicaines utilisent généralement le même format. Les autres pays utilisent leurs propres formats.
C’est au constructeur de déterminer ce qu’il veut inclure pour certaines parties du numéro. Par exemple, certaines entreprises n’incluent pas d’informations sur les transmissions ou les niveaux de finition.
En général, non. Quelques constructeurs estampillent le code dans le moteur. Si les numéros d’identification du moteur et de la voiture correspondent, il s’agit du moteur d’origine. Sur la plupart des véhicules, il n’y a rien qui lie un moteur à un véhicule spécifique. Tout au plus, la recherche du véhicule sur notre site web vous permettra de savoir si un autre type de moteur a été installé. Par exemple, si quelqu’un échange un V8 dans une Ford Mustang, notre site vous dira qu’elle était initialement équipée d’un V6.
