ENDGATE NAMEPLATE PEEL


Model and Year:
1986-92 S/T TRUCKS WITH SPARE TIRE CARRIER


Some 1986-1992 S/T utility vehicles equipped with a spare tire carrier (RPO P16) may experience the paint on the endgate nameplate peeling. This condition can occur as a result of poor paint adhesion. To correct this condition, the nameplates have been redesigned. The redesigned nameplates can be installed using the following part numbers.

These changes were made in production vehicles after the following VIN Breakpoints:

Assembly Plant VIN

Pontiac West (0) 1GNCT18Z1N0100040
Moraine (2) 1GNDT13Z2M2315179

Vehicles built before these VIN Breakpoints have endgates with stud mounting holes and use the following part numbers:

The original nameplate (P/N 15530789) was diecast chrome and black paint with mounting studs. It has been replaced with a new nameplate (Kit P/N 15661699) with mounting studs which is diecast with chrome and has black tape instead of paint.

Vehicles built after these VIN Breakpoints have endgates which were built without stud mounting holes. The nameplates are self-adhering and use the following part numbers:

Nameplate P/N 15675118 is chrome and has no mounting studs. This nameplate has adhesive backing and is approximately 12" long.
