GMC Sierra and Yukon ACDelco Service Parts Guide: Brakes, Filters, and Plugs (UAE)

Published

GMC Sierra and Yukon owners in the UAE searching for ACDelco parts frequently encounter battery-focused supplier results. This guide is about the service parts that actually keep these vehicles on the road: brake pads and rotors, engine oil and air filters, iridium spark plugs, and suspension wear items. Confirmed ACDelco part numbers, with year ranges taken directly from the ACDelco catalogue, are at the end of each section. Send the 17-digit VIN on WhatsApp and we confirm from the Ras Al Khor shelf before you travel.

ACDelco OE, Gold, and Silver: Choosing the Right Tier for Sierra and Yukon

ACDelco is General Motors' own parts arm and runs three service tiers under the GM umbrella. Understanding which tier applies to your Sierra or Yukon saves money and avoids the wrong specification.

Original Equipment (OE)

OE parts carry the exact GM factory part number and are identical to what the assembly line fitted. Correct for Sierra or Yukon vehicles still inside a manufacturer service contract, or where documented OEM-specification parts are required by a warranty claim.

Gold (Professional)

Gold tier meets or exceeds OEM-equivalent specifications and is the most common service-replacement choice for UAE workshops. For Sierra and Yukon brake pads, Gold compound is the appropriate specification for vehicles that see regular towing, sustained high-temperature driving, or UAE summer conditions. The Gold brake pad number for the K2XX Sierra 1500 front axle is 17D1367ACHF1, confirmed for Sierra/Silverado 2014-2018.

Silver (Advantage)

Silver is the economy tier, suited to high-mileage vehicles approaching end of service life where an exact OEM compound is less critical than a serviceable, lower-cost replacement. The Silver front pad number for the K2XX Sierra 1500 front axle is 14D1367ACH, same application as the Gold tier. For a vehicle still in regular UAE working use, Gold is the better specification.

We carry all three tiers where available at Ras Al Khor. WhatsApp the VIN and the part family and we confirm which tier is on the shelf.

Sierra Platform Reference: GMT900, K2XX, and T1XX

The GMC Sierra changed platforms across its production history. Each platform change directly affects which brake, filter, and suspension parts apply. Ordering by year alone, without confirming the platform, is the most common fitment error for Sierra in UAE workshops.

GMT900 (approx. 2007-2013)

The GMT900 Sierra runs the Gen III and Gen IV LS V8 family: 4.8L and 5.3L. Brake rotors 18A1705 (front) and 18A1412A (rear) cover the GMT900 front axle application. Air filter A3181C applies through this generation. Spark plug 41-110 (iridium, Gen III/IV LS 4.8L/5.3L) applies through 2013.

K2XX (2014-2018)

The K2XX generation introduced the Gen V LT engine and is the most active service generation for Sierra in the UAE market. The oil filter PF63B applies from this generation through 2026 (confirm via VIN). Air filter A3181C continues through 2018. Brake pad numbers 14D1367ACH and 17D1367ACHF1 (front) and 14D1707CHF1 (rear) are confirmed for K2XX Sierra 1500 2014-2018.

T1XX (2019-present)

The T1XX generation brought a new air filter: 84121217 replaces A3181C for Sierra 1500 on the T1XX platform (2019-2025). These two numbers are not interchangeable. The oil filter PF63B continues. Brake pad and rotor numbers were not separately confirmed for T1XX in the ACDelco catalogue audit; VIN confirmation is required before ordering brake hardware for a 2019-on Sierra.

Brake Parts for Sierra: Pads and Rotors

The K2XX Sierra 1500 (2014-2018) has the most confirmed ACDelco brake part numbers for the UAE. The tier distinction on front pads matters here: two pad numbers fit the same application at different ACDelco quality levels.

Front Brake Pads

14D1367ACH (ACDelco Silver): front axle, standard brakes. Confirmed for GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2014-2018; Cadillac Escalade 2015-2020. This is the economy replacement tier.

17D1367ACHF1 (ACDelco Gold): front axle, same application as 14D1367ACH. Confirmed for Sierra/Silverado 2014-2018; Escalade 2015-2020. Upgraded compound; the recommended tier for any Sierra used for towing in the UAE.

Rear Brake Pads

14D1707CHF1: rear axle. Confirmed for GMC Sierra 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and Cadillac Escalade. Sierra/Silverado application 2014-2018; Escalade 2015-2020.

Brake Rotors

18A1705 (front, standard): GMC Sierra 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Tahoe, Suburban, and Yukon on the GMT900/K2XX front axle. Approximate application 2007-2018.

18A1705AC (front, coated): Same application as 18A1705 with a corrosion-resistant coating. For Sierra and Yukon in coastal UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah), the coated rotor is the better choice. Surface rust on standard cast iron rotors accelerates in coastal humidity, scoring the rotor face and increasing pad wear. The coated variant slows this cycle between service intervals.

18A1412A (rear): GMC Sierra 1500/2500, Chevrolet Silverado 1500/2500, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon/XL, and Cadillac Escalade. Approximate application 2000-2018.

UAE brake note: Sierra and Yukon in the UAE typically see shorter brake service intervals than North American guidance suggests. UAE summer ambient temperatures of 42-48 degrees Celsius mean brake components start every drive heat-soaked. Sierra trucks used for towing boats or trailers in Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates see the highest brake loads. For any towing application, Gold-tier pads and coated rotors are the correct specification.

Engine Service Parts: Filters and Plugs by Generation

ACDelco engine service parts for Sierra and Yukon follow clean generation splits. Two numbers cover the vast majority of UAE-market vehicles; knowing which generation boundary applies avoids the most common ordering error.

  • PF63B (engine oil filter): GMC Sierra 1500, all trims. 2014-2026 (confirm via VIN). This is the Gen V LT platform oil filter shared with Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, and Yukon on the same generation.
  • A3181C (engine air filter): GMC Sierra 1500/2500/3500, K2XX platform and prior GMT900 generation. 2000-2018. GMT900 and K2XX share this number; T1XX does not.
  • 84121217 (engine air filter, T1XX): GMC Sierra 1500, T1XX platform. 2019-2025. This is not a cross-reference for A3181C; the two are physically different filters.
  • 41-110 (iridium spark plug): GMC Sierra 1500, 4.8L and 5.3L V8, LS-family Gen III/IV. 1999-2013. Does not apply to Gen V LT engines (2014-on); confirm spark plug for later Sierra via VIN.

The air filter boundary at the GMT900/K2XX to T1XX transition is the split most commonly missed in UAE parts orders. A3181C and 84121217 look similar in catalogue listings but are not interchangeable. Confirm the generation from the VIN before ordering.

GMC Yukon and Yukon XL: Platform Split and Stocked Wear Items

The 2021 Yukon (T1XX fifth generation) replaced the solid rear axle with independent rear suspension. That single change rewrote every rear suspension part number on the vehicle: control arms, knuckles, hub assemblies, and shock mounts are all T1XX-specific and nothing from the GMT900 or K2XX rear end fits.

Front brake and engine service parts are shared between standard Yukon and Yukon XL on the same generation. Brake rotors 18A1705, 18A1705AC, and 18A1412A cover the GMT900/K2XX Yukon front and rear axle (approximately 2007-2018 front, 2000-2018 rear) in the same way they cover Sierra. PF63B, A3181C, 84121217, and 41-110 apply to Yukon on the same generation boundaries as Sierra above.

Yukon-specific stocked wear items (from Mecanum stock records, reviewed September 2026):

  • 41-114 (also 12622441, 41-168): iridium spark plug. GMC Yukon Denali 5.3L V8, Suburban. 2015-2016.
  • 12682391: water pump gasket. GMC Yukon. 2021-2024.
  • 84646948 (also 84437973): upper control arm, left-hand. GMC Yukon. 2021-2024. T1XX independent rear suspension arm; does not fit GMT900 or K2XX.
  • 84646950: upper control arm, right-hand (aluminium). GMC Yukon. 2021-2024.
  • 23277115 (also 23134733): transmission mount. GMC Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban. Confirm by VIN.
  • 84919466 (also 23492579): heater outlet hose. GMC Suburban, Escalade, Yukon. 2015-2018.
  • 84919464 (also 23492578): heater inlet hose. GMC Suburban, Escalade, Yukon. 2015-2018.
  • 12714549: connecting rod, 6.2L engine. GMC Yukon 6.2L. 2021-2024.
  • 12740952 (also 12724245, 12694626): starter motor. Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon. Confirm by VIN.
  • 12626354: intake manifold gasket. GMC Yukon, Suburban, Tahoe, Escalade 6.2L. 2015.

The Yukon XL adds a longer wheelbase on top of the platform split. Rear driveshaft is a separate part number within the same model year; WhatsApp the VIN and we confirm the correct rear driveshaft before you travel.
