That's exactly the one I was talking about. The dealer had said that they
were tons more reliable, and the recommended anyone that had the older one,
to put this one in its place.

Was it a medium gray coloured bakelite/plastic kind of relay with the two
large studs with nuts like the standard relays in addition to about a
five-six contact multipin connector? If so, that's the newer style one that
came with the later model civilian 6.2 and 6.5 diesel vehicles. I have one
of those in the company's ex-Air Force Chevy crew van w/6.2 NA, and another
in our prototype 8-wheel Stryker kinda vehicle with the 6.5 Turbo. I was
going to look into buying those to replace the automatic setup in the CUCVs,
but never got around to looking up the GM p/n. I haven't had one of those
type fail yet, but neither of those vehicles have done anything like the
mileage our CUCVs have, so maybe it's too early to tell.
