What the heck is the deal with AC Delco part numbers?  For the PF63 I’ve found 3 different part numbers. 
My 2023 5.3 manual says to use GM part number 12707246.

I’ve found 2 other GM part numbers for a PF63. 12735811 and 12731742. See pics.

Yes.  Same filter, different p/n based on how they are packaged.  There is boxed, boxed bulk pack (case of 12) and then bulk pack unboxed (case of 12).  And there's also the chance of old stock under a previous p/n too but still the same PF63.  

 

As for the "PF63", it was originally PF63 (before the eCore construction), then went to PF63E (eCore construction) and now all the eCores had the E dropped so back to PF63.  

 

Regular PF63 are still the eCore construction but its the updated eCore, UPF63R the ACDelco Gold filter is still built the way the older Duraguard filters were pre eCore.  You can loose sleep reading about eCore on the Bob Is The Oil Guy forums, but plenty of them are put on cars day in and day out and they work just fine.  Sure, there are higher end filters out there but the regular AC Delco works just fine for 95% of the people out there.

Thanks for the info! I’ve done a lot of searching. Just read that the GM numbers mentioned have superseded to the 12735811. I tried inputting the numbers into a couple GM part sites. The sites I used listed 12735811 as the current and shows it replaces the others🤷

I called my GMC parts department this morning. Gave them my vehicle information and the part number specified in the owners manual for the PF63. They confirmed the latest GM part number is indeed now 12735811.

Forget to mention that newdude’s comments are also correct. While giving me confirmation on the latest P/N, the dealership parts guy also mentioned exactly what’s in new dude’s post. Dealers purchase in different quantities and different origins, which change the part numbers accordingly. 
He also said P/N’s in the owners manuals are out dated before they are even printed! He went through the P/N history with me. My 2023 has had 2 revisions in filter numbers since my owners manual was printed. Of course some that change was due to Covid 19 supply chains.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
