GMPP front accessory kit part #? They list two of them in their catalog but do not go into any real depth. Soes anyone know which one is for the C5 vette accessories. They list one set as fitting ls1-ls6 but do not say which platform they are for. The other lists the ls2 6.0 and the 427. I was going to get them from gm parts direct but if you order the wrong one you are stuck with it. Thanks Chris

I know this is not my place to say, I'm probably breaking a forum rule and not helping with the thread, but I personally would never again order from GMPD, they overcharge on shipping (they charge 30% less than dealer on parts, then 15% of the total part cost for shipping, netting you a 15% savings?!).
I found Brasington Cadillac in Gainesville, FL does online ordering and charges ~25% less than dealership (slight markup over GMPD), but the shipping is so freaking reasonable that it ends up costing 5-10% LESS than ordering from GMPD....plus you get to talk to real humans, you can even call them on the phone (try that with GMPD), it's quite nice! You just gotta remember that GMPD's prices *show* as being lower, but they suckerpunch you on the shipping, and you're really not saving that much.
Google for the word gmotors and you'll get to Brasington's site. I cannot recommend them enough after I personally got seriously screwed when GMPD sent me a ****-poor packed truck oil pan, it was DOA because of their shoddy packing, then they tried to blame it on FedEx, as if it was the shippers fault!
Good luck with the part numbers.

I haven't dealt with GMPD, but their pricing is a bit deceptive, since the shipping costs are not actual cost, but actual cost plus their profit.
I've had good success with PartsZoneOnline, a GM dealer in PA that has prices that are close to GMPD (usually a small margin higher), but charges actual shipping costs, so your net cost is usually MUCH lower.
Sorry to threadjack. I don't have any useful information on the accessory drives.
