I ran into this last year. Called Partech to verify and was shocked. MMMM, that GM feeling.

Yeah, that sensor's been gone for a few years now. I couldn't even find one from the jobbers, but I didn't look really hard cause the truck wasn't in our shop.

We tried to get a oil pan for the 8.1L. Discontinued. Aftermarket shows availability, but the one from Spectra Automotive actually fits the 6.0L.
Their engineers are now fully aware of it. We had to have the original welded back together.
Are they just not interested in servicing the 8.1L?

WOW! just got this from GM rep.
Per our Partech focal, there is no alternate part or up assembly. This part has been discontinued and has not been replaced.
The dealership can contact Isuzu Warehouse in Medford, OR. 541-535-1446 to see if they can buy the part out-right from. The information is available on the Parts Locator.
Not our locator. Maybe Isuzu?

We have a 1999 G30 cutaway. The theft module is discon and will not be made anymore. My customer with his custom deliver van is NOT happy, especially after it was on BKO with an active SPAC case for 120 days. No way to bypass it, so he now has a warehouse in our parking lot.

Those idiots still can't figure out how to NOT discontinue a key until the new one is available.
For that key you can use 15824471 if you still have some.
