Hey guys, Long story but my dealer has been trying to get me a lift kit but the part# has changed 3-4 times. I just noticed the GM accessories site now has two different part numbers. 8499352 is the new one and 84768243 is the old one that was originally ordered.

 

Anyone have insight on these parts?

 

I feel like my dealer is getting tired of me bothering them, but this kit will fix a bunch of issues I am having. So I am being persistent.

 

Hoping some gurus in here can help! I’ve been on this site a long time lurking and learning!

 

Thanks

Joe

Well, you can always cut the dealer out and just order it on the accessories website yourself. They will deliver it to the dealer, and you can even pre-pay installation.

Yes, thought of that, called the GM accessory site yesterday to see if they have it in stock, and if so will do that.

Excuse my ignorance, but wouldn’t the dealer get this from the GMC accessory site as well? If they can’t get it because it’s not in stock, how can I get it? I thought this was all in sync, because I asked the dealer that and they said they have to order it.

What trim level/cab/engine/2wd or 4x4 is your truck?  Also, what issues are you having that you think this will fix?

2019 SLT with the X31 package, crew cab, shirt bed, 4WD. 5.3 engine 

Issue is a long story- had a local shop put in a zone 2” leveling kit, they put a hole in the CV never told me, and had a huge mess under the truck with grease everywhere, this kit has new, longer half axles, fixes that, also with the vehicle level, I had sag with just loading the bed for vacation, and we bought a boat to tow and want the rake back, so no sag. Fixes that, and also like the look of it raised a bit, fixes that. Main thing is the CV boot being fixed, as I shoved some grease in it and Gorilla taped it closed for now.

So, not sure where your first # came from, but that's not a good #.  The current p/n you have is correct 84768243.  GM shows ship direct on it but it will backorder so they are probably on backorder.

 

If you are willing to call/drive, I show two that might be close to you.  There is a 84768243 showing at Pellegrino Buick GMC in Williamstown NJ, and under the old #84649981 there is one at Faulkner GM in Trevose, PA.

Wow! Great info! Those may be too far though, but will call them. That new part # 84993582 is on the GM website, see below

Been dealing this for a about 3 months, so I guess waiting for this to come in stock is worth it, just wish I had a timeline.

Funny its on GMC's accessories site, but right in GM parts information its listed as "Not An Active Part" and there is no pricing.  Must be a future # that they haven't updated in their system yet.

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too, may just live with my current situation for a couple weeks and see what happens.

Only other thing I can think of is, have the boot replaced, and put some 2” blocks in the back to have some rake back. But think waiting is a better long term options.

Anyone else have an idea?! Lol

Guessing a lot of the GM parts websites just drop ship from GM, but some say “in stock”. As does a listing on eBay (overpriced but in stock).

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/402068218601

 

Maybe call those parts sites and see if they actually have it on hand.

Yeah, I may try that tomorrow.  But, then I have to find someone to install it.  already had bad luck the first time.

See if the dealer is willing to install from a third party since they are unable to obtain it themselves. It’s a GM part and they know the billable labor, and all that. Shouldn’t really be an issue unless they want to get sticky about it.

I already asked that question, if i can buy from eBay and bring there, and they said no.

Find another dealer man, it's a GM part, most will be happy to take your money and install it.  Plus there is some programming that is included with the kit that a dealer needs to do.

 

Keep and eye on this listing, they come back in stock from time to time:

      87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
