8th digit in the VIN #

[Big Chevy]

My truck has a T as the 8th digit, what does this stand for? What is the difference is this from the U digit or any other for that matter - thanks.

Means you got a 5.3 not a 6.0. Too bad it wasn't a B.

The 8th digit in the vehicle identification number # or vehicle identification #? I think it means you dont have flex fuel, at least, thats typically what i see when i do a part search.
