RPO: AD3 and RPO decoder tool
Ok so I decoded my RPO codes for my Blazer, and I was looking through them again today and noticed the code "AD3." AD3 description is: Window, hinged, roof.
What does that mean? Does that mean a sunroof? My Blazer has a sunroof but I've never seen the first gen S-series have a sunroof from the factory on them. Up until now I always thought that the sunroof in my Blazer was aftermarket. Oh and from being a user there, I want to tell you guys here about the Thirdgen.org RPO decoder. Now its for Thirdgen F-bodies, but it also has a lot more RPO codes in it that work for just about any GM car or truck for the same period of time as the thirdgens were around. http://www.thirdgen.org/rpodecoder This is what I used to get my codes. Thanks for the help guys! http://cid-927c50fdeeb95fe6.office.l...%20options.xps Those are my options, in xps format. Any Windows 7 machine will read xps natively, but everything else will need an xps reader. You can save your options sheet in the Thirdgen RPO decoder in XPS format also. |
That's an interestig RPO code. Maybe sunroof because that code wouldn't make Sense if it pertained to your rear hatch. All gen 1 blazers have a tailgate/liftglass. I could be wrong...
Also, if you want to use another decoder, I use compnine.com. They have a Vin decoder online that shows you the RPO codes on your vehcle and their meanings. It's a GM only vin decoder, however. |
Thanks the for advice. I used compnine for my Camaro, but it doesn't have any other data on my Blazer other than its a Blazer and has 4x4 so I used the Thirdgen decoder, got just about every code on the sheet.
Its kind of confusing seeing that RPO code there now after I already assumed that the sunroof was aftermarket, now, I'm thinking it might not be. I would think it was for something on the hatch, but theres a seperate RPO in my sheet for the hatch, that says that its electric for the electronic release, and the description of AD3 states roof, and not rear glass/ hatch/ what have you. And theres the sunroof. http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...127101028a.jpg |
It looks stock. That or a good aftermarket job. Is is manual or electric?
Do you mind if I look up your VIN? I want to see what it's only showing. |
Its a manual, non removable type sunroof. It looks stock from the inside and outside, so like you said either it is, or someone put a lot of work into it and did it right. Its got a handle on the back of it that seals it when its shut, and keeps it open when its open. Its not clear glass, its got a dotted pattern on it, I don't know how to describe it without pics, haha.

I did some more research, I came across a brochure for the first gen S-series Blazers and in it they advertise an available sunroof, so I guess mines stock.
But does anyone else have a Blazer with a sunroof? Or know anyone? I went to the junkyard and there they had about 40-50 first gen S-series Blazers, and none of then had a sunroof in them. Did I get lucky and find a rare option for the S10 Blazers? |
