      Silverado spark plug wire
      By Ryan
      Hi everyone,
      I have a 2019 Silverado 5.3L, and I've been looking up spark plug wires on RockAuto. I found two part numbers listed:
      1. Part number 12716289, which is said to fit 2014-2024 Silverado 1500.
      2. Part number 9241829A, which is said to fit 2000-2022 Silverado 1500.
      Since these two parts overlap for the years 2014-2022, does this mean that the spark plug wires for Silverado 1500 models from 2000-2024 are interchangeable? 
      Additionally, I searched on Amazon and found that these part numbers seem to be the same as
      link hidden, please login to view and 9748HH. I appreciate any insights or experiences you might have with these part numbers.
      Thanks!
