RockAuto selling fake GM Parts?

I would put RA above Amazon as far as getting what you pay for.

I've had no issues before ordering GM Genuine parts for my GMT800s from RockAuto. I can't remember if I've been in your situation though?

Yesterday I received an AC Delco rear AC actuator (bought from Amazon, but I normally don't order GM Genuine/AC Delco from here) and it says Made in Korea and looks legit, similar to your part there.

I think the problem is GM manufacturers a lot of parts, but they also use many different other manufacturers across the globe.

I agree, but when you deliberately opt to order OEM parts you can usually expect it to be better quality than aftermarket. Luckily I didn't need the blower motor.

Edit: I also just realized I posted this in the wrong section (07-14 instead of 00-06). I was about a 6 pack in and posted from my phone lol.

Did someone in the warehouse do a switcheroo? The part numbers on either part don't match the part numbers on the box or packing slip. I could be wrong but I'd think one of the numbers would match at least what's on the box.

I agree. Even if numbers change the box should still match what's in it? That's more worrisome then the manufacturer or location as that does change from time to time.

They match. Look at the receipt and then look at the boxes and look at the "ACD #". Same number just once has a "-" and one doesn't.

Oh, ok.

I was going to mention that I recently replaced the blower motor resistor on my 06 from RA as well. Mine was the "Four Seasons" brand and I also had to cut splice the harness for the new part. But everything works well. So I wouldn't hesitate to do that again. I also replaced the blower motor, but I can't even remember what brand I bought?

I didn't mention this on my previous post because I saw this was on the GMT900 subsection so I wasn't sure if that even applied...

We or at least I was referring to the part in the box has different numbers than whats listed on the box.

I know this isn't an "OEM" issue but I ordered an AC Delco alternator for my GST a few years back. It came and was not even close to the right alternator but had the correct label on it and the box. Sent it back for a replacement and I didn't think much of it. Got the replacement in, not even close again and this one was huge like twice the size it should be with the same label on it and the box. I contacted them again and told them the had some major problems somewhere. They sent me a second replacement and it was correct with the same label on both alternator and box. It's to the point that it is a crapshoot no matter where you shop.

X2. A guy isn't installing the box in the truck lol.

It would make a whole lot more sense to me if when they change suppliers to update the part numbers so the box and part both match. All it is in this case is stickers but still it would keep a guy from wondering if it is the correct part or not.

I had the same issue when I did my blower motor and resistor, bought OEM got a part manufactured in some other country I don't remember, not mexico or china but somewhere else
