Our local chevy dealer buys Adaptive One pads from Napa when they don't have any of there regular parts in stock. Basically the same pads as the silver/gold because it's likely the same people making them for both places. Food for thought.

I do remember seeing that on the GM page some time ago but didn't really pay attention and just kind of glossed over the info. I guess I need to pay more attention to details. The good thing is that all 3 levels of parts are backed by GM which is important.

This is great, learn something every day, and thank you @newdude for the detailed info. Each of you have been helpful and why I love these forums. I as well didn't realize the GM part hierarchy with OEM/Gold/Silver but makes sense when you think about it. 

 

Relating to NAPA, I also tend to shop there vs the other stores and have found their parts to be pretty reliable compared to the competition (Napa Gold filters, etc..). Other things like this I try to stick with OEM where I can but as we have seen that's not always easy.

Will the Gold brake pads last as long as OEM and stop the truck as well?

 

 

We use the golds all the time.  They work quite well.

12674639/15-51125 is the 207F thermostat.  19474058/15-51125G is the ACDelco Gold/Professional line and is also 207F.  12674634/15-11113 is the 194F thermostat.

 

ACDelco Gold/Professional line are not the OEM part/supplier typically, they are made by one of the major aftermarket suppliers. 

 

So lets pretend that Motorad is the supplier to GM for the OEM one and build 12674639 to GM OEM specs, the ACDelco Gold/Professional one is supplied by Stant and is built to spec but might use cheaper components or alternative materials, etc.  Same with brake pads.  The OEM ones are made from the OEM suppliers (TRW, Akebono, etc.) but the ACDelco Gold and Silver line are all made by what was the Affinia's Global Brake division which is now spun off to Frist Brands Group.  ACDelco Gold and Silver all all the same as Raybestos brakes.    

 

 

 

 

Hey sorry to revive this but I just got a replacement tstat from my local Chevy dealer and they provided a cardboard box with an ac Delco gold part number of 15-11125G but it has the GM genuine part number of 19474058 right above it on the same label on the box. On the housing, it has the GM number then the ACD gold number and “Made in China”. This is definitely not oem, right? Did they discontinue the oem part or something? I’m just confused why a dealer would be selling aftermarket parts I guess. My truck is a 2014 1500 5.3.

That is the latest and greatest OEM thermostat.  They dropped it from being the "Gold" version and replaced the 12674639 with it.  Comes in a Genuine GM OEM cardboard box too. 

 

Also, GM has stuff made in China all the time.  

 

Also also.  Back to my original bit on these.  Its one of the major manufacturers of thermostats that was supplying the original OEM one, as well as the current version.  Motorad, Stant, etc.  GM doesn't make their own thermostats and if they did, its been decades.  Many decades.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
