  • Y81 Pkg? Mainly 2000+ Models

    That is what I have on my door. It says it's the merchandised pkg.(whatever that is)in the tech database. It also have GU6(3.42 gears)and G80(LSD) on my door also. Don't see W68 neither, but I have Duals, ground effects, etc. Does anyone else have this with the other two codes in their door? I wonder why GM just didn't put Y87 in the door.

    It was common to see some of the newer models with G80 as well as GU6 and still not be considered Y87. In fact your car has everything the Y87 has except for uplevel steering. That is wierd that it doesn't have W68 listed. I believe Y81 refers to the regular v6 suspension parts, but I am not positive. I know my car has Y81 on it also.

      How do you know it doesn't have uplevel or sport steering? Is it a code on my door to look for that specifies it? It has everything else.

        The Y87 package comes with the fast ratio steering. I don't know if that's available as a separate option, though. My sticker has the GU6, G80, and Y87 on it. Can't help with the W68, though.

          No, there is no code for the V8 steering rack, so you might have it.

              not sure, but would it be possible for the dealership to add the W68 package and not put the code on the door?

                is the sport steering stuff the reason why my car is so hard to turn at a slow speed compared to any other car ive driven lately?
