I would most definitely trust a gm computer match, versus word of mouth, yes sometimes other parts will cross over and fit but when the original part is needed I def reference the dealer part number first. like the hummer motor mount, the dealer would say no but it obviously fits.If I trusted them more than you guys I would have already done so.

Just called and they gave me two numbers.I would most definitely trust a gm computer match, versus word of mouth, yes sometimes other parts will cross over and fit but when the original part is needed I def reference the dealer part number first. like the hummer motor mount, the dealer would say no but it obviously fits.
I think (i could be wrong) the only difference is if you had aluminum-vs-iron which is easily determined by a magnet.Just called and they gave me two numbers.
ACDelco - 45D2472 (the one I already had)
GM - 20869202 (updated iron version)
He said they both would fit. Back to square one…
P/N for the first one was non-alum (the aluminum magnet I have didn’t stick to my lower but the neodymium ones did).I think (i could be wrong) the only difference is if you had aluminum-vs-iron which is easily determined by a magnet.
Sometimes your hand is forced, so you gotta do what you gotta do.Thanks man. After some friends sent me recent new updates I was a bit skeptical if that were still the case.
Thank you as well. I walked away from that one with two separated shoulders, doctors said a force like that is only ever seen in high speed car accidents, which makes sense because I had both hands on the wheel.
Unfortunately none of the others made it back home. Of the three who made it through the initial engagement, one got hit laying down cover fire and we couldn’t stop the bleeding before making it back; the second sustained too much BF trauma and didn’t make it out of the hospital and the third had to tell the story to their parents, wives and children.
The injuries from my second deployment to Iraq and my first to Afg were much worse physically, but not as mentally haunting as Christmas Eve.
I usually have my knucks close by and the drivers side holds my collapsible baton. It’s only been out twice. Once almost caught a set of tail lights on some punk kids Ford Rustang. The second one broke some drunk guys Ulna and fractured his Radius after he hit my buddies wife. I don’t condone violence by any means, but when walking away doesn’t work I will de-escalate a situation before things get out of hand.
That's ridiculous.I’m not sure about other states, but I found out a while back that it’s “illegal” to drive in Michigan with a hitch in the receiver without having something in tow. I’ve never seen it enforced and would happily pay the ticket if I got one after being hit from the rear.
Glad to hear things went well with your bump and replacement.
Exactly. I’m glad I did too. Who else would be bugging your ass on a Friday afternoon?Sometimes your hand is forced, so you gotta do what you gotta do.
I'm glad you made it!
I get angry, and sad when I hear stories such as yours.
