This label is usually titled "Service Parts Identification" and is most often found in the glove compartment or on the Driver's side door jamb (also called the B-pilar) - near the Federal certification label. The rear axle ratio codes most often begin with a "G". Occasionally "F" or "H" will be the starting prefix. See partial list of RPO axle codes below
