I am going to share something with you that I have learned over the years.
Genuine GM parts are different than "white box" or "tan box" parts. The
internal components are of a higher tolerance and are more voltage spike
resistant than the other aftermarket stuff is. Nowhere is it more
noticeable than it is in modules.and coils and alternator regulators. I am
a GM trained technician, and there is a reason why genuine GM stuff is
expensive. It is better. GMC motorhomes are all 40 plus years old and their
electrical stuff is loose and corroded from weather and time. Voltage
spikes are common.
But, it is your hard earned money that you are spending. Just spend it
once for the same stuff.
