Default GM Part Number Looks Wrong !

I ordered an ACDelco OEM water pump from Summit.
The ACD part number is 251-744
The corresponding GM part is 12681185

HOWEVER…the part number on the pump shows GM 12681179, which doesn’t come up in any part# search. Ideas?

i installed this one back in 2016 and has been running great since.

ACD part number = 252-846

Amazon Amazon

The ACD sticker on the box is correct, but the GM part # on the pump doesn’t match anything I can find.

Based on this, it looks to be a Holden part;

Freekin amazing. Some of the packaging was missing, and the plump was just laying cattywampus in the box. This is literally how it looked when I opened it.

I called Summit and the are sending a replacement and a return shipping label. Great customer service!

@JHrinsin I don’t know how you found that part number, but arming me with info surely helped my conversation with Summit.

Avoid Summit like the plague! They mark up their parts so much. Rockauto will have this part for considerably cheaper and in original packing. Never opened.

You’re right ! Rock Auto was $10.00 less.

On the other hand, Summit didn’t charge shipping, whereas Rock Auto would. In the end I saved about $10 through Summit.

BTW, I’ve used both sellers and been very satisfied. While there was an error on this particular product, Summit responded immediately with the return/reship process.

summit always charges shipping. And they also send used parts that have been unboxed.

The part I bought is the top of the line OEM ACDelco/GM part. ACD 251-744 is what I purchased and that’s the same number shown on Rock Auto as the OEM option.

Since its an ACDelco manufactured part for GM as OEM, which is very common, the part usually has the GM equivalent part number cast, or printed on it.

My invoice from Summit shows charged for the part + tax. No shipping charges.

Most likely because Summit doesn't charge shipping on orders over $99.
