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.
That's a healthy outlook on things my friend. I've never been to a conventional war--fortunately or unfortunately--but I have been to war with my self, and with others. I've been through, and still going through things that no one should ever have to experience. I really need to have the forgiveness that you have--but I can't, and I won't. Hopefully 1 day mine will pass. Well, enough of this for me. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, feelings and words of hard earned wisdom--to all of us.Exactly. I’m glad I did too. Who else would be bugging your ass on a Friday afternoon?
Don’t be, at least not for long. They want you to be angry and they want you to be sad…don’t be. That means that they’ve already won.
Hate, bitterness, discontent, regret, depression…don’t hold onto any of that $hi+. Doing so will eat you alive - and as my wife would tell you, the increase in your cortisol levels will then kill you faster than anything else (especially since they are often pathwaysdiabetes, heart disease, cancer…).
Seriously though, I beat myself up over it for a long time. A really long time actually, but then after being in the wrong place at the wrong time during my last trip down range things changed. After crossing over I was able to put all that stuff behind me, I realized that teaching and helping people meant more than any social status or monetary thing you could ever have. I was able to see that all the social indifferences, politics, and religious beliefs that people fight over is such a waste of talent. Only when you can let go of money, religion and politics can you truly free yourself. For me it took crossing over to see that, but it was after that when I was able to discuss things with my teams families. Things the government, the commanders, the Chaplin, or our units family deployment liaison never mentioned or knew about. Photos and videos from our work-ups and of us down range; things at the time I thought would have been too hard for them to see. That wasn’t the case. Often times it was the closure they needed. Some didn’t even know what happened that morning.
There are two sayings I’ve passed on to all of my guys, especially when things sucked and all we could do was we had to embrace the suck, grin and bear it.
“Are you on fire…no? Are you getting shot at…no? Are you on fire getting shot at…no? Then you’re doing better than some people right now.”
and
“Don’t sweat the petty stuff, instead, pet the sweaty stuff.”
Great words of advice, and a great attitude. I have learned to let go and forgive. I needed to in order to stay sober and it’s worked for me. Thank you for your sacrifices, you are very much appreciated.Exactly. I’m glad I did too. Who else would be bugging your ass on a Friday afternoon?
