One thread for everything to do with the RPO decoder — bugs, codes we’re missing, meanings that look wrong.

Something didn’t work
Tell me what you did and what happened. Phone or computer, and which browser if you know it. “I uploaded a photo and it just sat there” is a perfectly good bug report.
A code came back with no match
The tool logs these automatically, so I see them either way — but post it here if you know what it means. The code, your model year, and what the truck is.
If you know the meaning, say where it came from: a factory document, a build sheet, a dealer printout. There’s a real difference between a code we can prove and one that’s floating around the internet, and the tool tells people which is which, so I need the source to publish it properly.
A photo of your SPID label proves the code appeared on a truck. That’s useful on its own, even without a meaning. Cover your VIN before you post it.
A meaning looks wrong
GM reused these codes for forty years, so a code that means one thing on your truck can mean something unrelated on a different platform. If the tool showed you an era that doesn’t fit yours, flag it. Wrong meanings matter as much as missing ones.
Where it’s thinnest
Squarebody and GMT900. Coverage is strongest on GMT800, the 2016 K2XX range, and current T1XX. If you’re running a 73-87 or an 07-13 you’re the most likely to find a gap — and the most useful person to hear from.
