How do I find part numbers?

[JeepTherapy]

Y'all on this list have been an invaluable help to the newbie GM owner, Ford-convert that I am.

 

I have another question for you.

 

I know about the discount GM places online, but they don't have very good ways to actually find the Part Number you need. If you already have the PN, they're slick. I have a list of a few things I'm looking for but don't know how to find the PN's. Can someone tell me how to find them, or alternatively, look them up for me in a super-secret computer somewhere?

 

The Parts I need (all for my 2005 GMC 1500 Extended cab SLE)

 

1) Replacement AC vent louvers in dark pewter. The previous owner had some goo stuck to three of these that I can't get off.

 

2) Trailer Brake controller jumper harness - comes in trucks with trailer tow package. Mine was missing.

 

3) Spare Tire Crank Lock - I assume you can add this across the parts counter? Mine didn't have one.

 

4) GMC Touch Up Paint in Summit White (50U)

 

5) I need the part of the little rubber non-skid pad that sits in the bottom of the overhead console pocket to keep things from sliding around & rattling. My original had it, but the replacement console I bought with Homelink doesn't. I know I can cut some rubber & lay it in there, I just want the OEM one that fits & sticks in place.

 

 

Thanks again to you guys (and gals) - a wealth of knowledge & resources exist here!

I usually just go here:

 

http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/partsvoice/frameset.cfm

 

gmpartsdirect dont have a search function (you have to know the part number) but they have a link on their site to another site which you can browse all parts by vehicle and get the part number. Its pretty handy really.

I went there, but all the choices it gives me are for the Transmission, Transfer Case, Alternator & Starter.

 

What about the other stuff?

You only see Transmission, Transfer Case, Alternator & Starter? I see all sorts of categories (Axle, body, brakes, bumper/grille, door, electrical, engine, fender, frame, etc). Are you looking under the collision or the mechanical tab at the top?

[JeepTherapy]

The only tab I have is mechanical. Try it yourself - enter 2005 GMC Sierra. I do see others if I enter other vehicles. I tried 2004 GMC Sierra, but still didn't find the parts I was after.

So - does *anybody* have a way to find part numbers without going to the dealer? I'd even be willing to buy a Parts DVD or something (my DVD Service Manual doesn't show part numbers)

 

I'd feel bad going to the dealer to get PN's & ordering online. Much prefer just to look it up.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

You have a DVD Service manual, where do you buy one of those things from?

[JeepTherapy]

Well, if you're made of money, you can get one from Helm for a small fortune (almost $500 I think).

 

I got mine off this list though for like $20.

 

There's SO much information on this - for all GM vehicles, I believe - that it's even hard to find what you need on the PC.

 

But if I only had parts....

Does this https://www.partszoneonline.com/Frameset/frame.php?link=4 happen to show the parts you are looking for? I havent tried it myself.

[JeepTherapy]

No, but that's a LOT closer - I've bookmarked that link. Thanks!

 

I've emailed GM Parts Direct & they're looking them up for me.
