Sierra HD — GMT900 (2007–2014)

2007–2008 Disputed

printed in the 2007–2008 lists only disputed: the 2007 and 2008 new-body Sierra lists print it in the heavy-duty half, but that half repeats the 2007 Sierra Classic heavy-duty list (same codes, same order) and no other source names the GMT900 HD gearboxes, so it may be a Classic carryover; both readings kept
